1. Relationship to the General Terms
1.1 These MCP Connector Terms of Service (the "MCP Connector Terms") govern use of the FinHelm MCP connector (the "Connector"). They are entered into between FinHelm Corp, a Tennessee corporation ("FinHelm"), and the business entity that uses the Connector ("Customer").
1.2 These MCP Connector Terms supplement the FinHelm General Terms of Service (the "General Terms"), which apply to the Connector as part of the Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in the General Terms.
1.3 If these MCP Connector Terms conflict with the General Terms, these MCP Connector Terms prevail, but only in respect of Customer's use of the Connector. On every other subject the General Terms prevail. A written agreement or ordering document executed by both parties for a sales-led offering prevails over both.
1.4 The General Terms, these MCP Connector Terms and any executed ordering document together form the entire agreement between the parties on their subject matter, as stated in Section 21 of the General Terms.
2. Definitions
"Connector" means the FinHelm software interface that exposes Service capabilities to an MCP Host under the Model Context Protocol.
"MCP Host" means a third-party application, assistant or environment that Customer uses to connect to the Connector.
"Connected Financial System" and "Supported Connected Financial System" have the meanings given in Section 2 of the General Terms.
3. Access and acceptance
3.1 Use of the Connector requires a FinHelm account under the General Terms. Section 1.2 of the General Terms governs how Customer accepts the General Terms and these MCP Connector Terms. Installing, enabling or using the Connector does not by itself constitute acceptance.
3.2 Customer is responsible for each Authorized User who uses the Connector and for activity conducted through the Connector under Customer's account.
4. Authorization to Connected Financial Systems
4.1 The Connector reads from a Supported Connected Financial System only under an authorization Customer grants to FinHelm through that system's authorization process. FinHelm's access is read only. FinHelm does not write to, modify or post entries in a Connected Financial System through the Connector or otherwise.
4.2 Customer may revoke FinHelm's authorization through the applicable provider, or through the Service where FinHelm makes that functionality available. On revocation FinHelm stops using the revoked authorization to access that system.
4.3 Whether a given Connected Financial System is supported may change, as stated in Section 6.4 of the General Terms. FinHelm currently connects to QuickBooks Online.
5. MCP Hosts and third-party services
5.1 MCP Hosts are operated by third parties under their own terms. FinHelm does not control an MCP Host, is not responsible for how an MCP Host stores, displays, transmits or uses information it receives from the Connector, and does not warrant any MCP Host.
5.2 Customer is responsible for selecting an MCP Host, for its configuration, and for compliance with that host's terms. Information that the Connector returns to an MCP Host is under the control of that host and of Customer from that point.
5.3 Neither the Connector nor its listing in any MCP Host directory implies endorsement, partnership or certification by the operator of that host.
5.4 In response to a request from an MCP Host under Customer's authorization, the Connector returns Output and, for capabilities that expose it, structured accounting information from a Supported Connected Financial System, including chart-of-accounts records, entity identity and account-level actuals used by the requested analysis. By connecting an MCP Host, Customer directs FinHelm to transmit that information to that host.
5.5 FinHelm transmits to an MCP Host only in response to that host's request under Customer's authorization. FinHelm does not itself send Customer Data or Output to any artificial-intelligence model or model provider, does not retain the content of requests an MCP Host submits, and issues access credentials to an MCP Host only through FinHelm's own authorization service.
6. Customer Data and Output
6.1 Sections 7 and 12 of the General Terms govern Customer Data accessed or processed through the Connector, including ownership, the scope of the rights Customer grants FinHelm, and confidentiality.
6.2 Section 5.3 and Section 5.4 of the General Terms govern Output returned through the Connector. Output is analytical and is not advice.
6.3 FinHelm's personal-data practices are described in the FinHelm Privacy Notice, which is a notice and is not incorporated into these MCP Connector Terms.
7. Acceptable use
7.1 Section 8 of the General Terms applies to the Connector. In addition, Customer will not, and will not permit an MCP Host or any person to:
(a) use the Connector to access a Connected Financial System that Customer is not authorized to connect;
(b) circumvent or attempt to circumvent the Connector's authentication, authorization, rate or entitlement controls;
(c) use the Connector to build a substitute for the Service or to extract Service methodology; or
(d) use the Connector in a manner that impairs the Service or the experience of other customers.
8. Changes, availability and suspension
8.1 Section 14 of the General Terms applies to the Connector. FinHelm may change or discontinue the Connector or any capability it exposes, and may suspend Connector access under Section 14.4 of the General Terms.
9. Marks
9.1 FinHelm names and marks used with the trademark symbol are brand designations. That symbol does not imply filing, registration or grant. Third-party names and marks, including those of MCP Host operators and providers of Connected Financial Systems, are the property of their respective owners, and FinHelm's use of them is nominative.
10. Warranties, liability and indemnification
10.1 Sections 15, 16 and 17 of the General Terms apply to the Connector and to these MCP Connector Terms. These MCP Connector Terms create no additional warranty, no additional cap and no additional indemnity.
11. Amendment
11.1 Section 20 of the General Terms governs amendment of these MCP Connector Terms. This Version 1.1 supersedes any earlier version of the MCP Connector Terms.
12. Survival
