Hosting

Remote hosted

Transport

Streamable HTTP

Endpoint

https://api.dashboard.plaid.com/mcp/

Authentication

OAuth 2.0 client credentials using production Plaid client ID and secret with scope `mcp:dashboard`; pass access token as Bearer. This Dashboard server is distinct from Plaid's local AI coding toolkit MCP.

Requirements

• Plaid team approved for Production access with at least one product
• Production client ID and secret
• Remote MCP client supporting Streamable HTTP and Bearer authorization

Setup steps

1. Confirm Plaid team has Production access.
2. Obtain an OAuth token at `https://production.plaid.com/oauth/token` using client_credentials grant and `mcp:dashboard` scope.
3. Add `https://api.dashboard.plaid.com/mcp/` as remote Streamable HTTP and store the token as a protected Bearer credential.
4. Use returned refresh token when renewing access; never put client secrets in chat.
5. Verify using a read-only Item diagnostics or Link analytics request.

Plaid’s current first-party Dashboard MCP documentation explicitly lists the five supported tools. A live tools/list query requires production credentials and was not performed.

• Production data only; team must have approved Production access for at least one Plaid product.
• Under active development with possible breaking changes and limited support.
• The local Plaid AI coding toolkit and Data Partner MCP are separate servers and are not merged into this Dashboard MCP record.

• official tool reference

  Current publisher docs list five supported Dashboard tools and show endpoint, Streamable HTTP, OAuth scope, production access requirement, and active-development caveat.
