The server itself exposes 5 tools, and some of them can write to your Plaid account. Behind TrustGate an agent only sees the tools you allow, requests and responses are inspected, and every call is logged. Anything outside the allowlist is denied before it reaches Plaid.

How is this different from connecting Plaid MCP directly?

Connected directly, an agent sees every tool the server exposes and holds the credential itself. Through TrustGate you choose which tools each agent gets, and every call is logged against the agent that made it.

What if the Plaid MCP API changes?

We track the Plaid MCP schema, so the tool catalogue stays current. Tools you have already allowed keep working, and anything new stays denied until you enable it.

Can I give different agents different Plaid tools?

Yes. Access is set per agent: one can get a handful of read tools, another the full set. You grant the whole MCP or single tools within it.

Where can I see what my agents did in Plaid?

Every call is logged against the agent that made it, with the tool it used. Activity can be sent on to your own monitoring.

Do I need to run the Plaid MCP server myself?

No. TrustGate connects to the Plaid MCP server and sits in front of it. Your agent only talks to your TrustGate URL, never to Plaid directly.
