Changelog
See all releases- Write access for Francis Agent and MCPSince launch, the Francis Agent and Francis MCP have been read-only. They could tell you what was going on in your model, but making the change was still up to you. Now both can write to your workspace. Ask for a change in the Francis Agent, or in an MCP client like Claude or ChatGPT, and it’s made in your model. For example: Restructure your three-statement model from the ground up Map the chart of accounts for a new entity Find the difference when the balance sheet doesn’t balance Build next year’s budget from this year’s actuals. The Francis Agent and MCP clients act as the signed-in user, so they can only change what that person could change themselves. The Francis Agent applies changes directly to your model. In an MCP client, the client’s own settings decide whether you approve each change first. Owners can now choose which tools Francis MCP makes available. Read tools and write tools are separate settings under Settings → Connected apps, so you can keep connected clients read-only. Both are on by default. Write access is available in beta in every workspace with the Francis Agent or Francis MCP enabled. The Francis Agent has write access whenever it’s turned on.
- Francis MCP ServerThe Francis MCP server brings your financial models into the AI clients your team already uses, including Claude and ChatGPT. It’s available today on every Francis plan at no extra cost. The Francis Agent answers questions about your data inside Francis. But finance work also happens in other tools, and your numbers should be available there too. Until now, that meant pasting Excel exports into a chat. An export is a static snapshot without account mappings or budget versions, and it’s outdated after the next ERP sync. With the Francis MCP server, your AI client reads directly from your model, including mappings, versions and the latest data. Your group financials stay in Francis, and every answer reflects the current numbers. A workspace owner needs to enable MCP access in Settings → AI. At launch, the Francis MCP server supports Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and Grok. Once enabled, you’ll find client-specific setup instructions in Settings → Connected Apps. For example, to connect Claude: Open your Claude account Select Customize, then Connectors Search for Francis Click Connect. You can read more about the Francis MCP and find client-specific setup instructions in our documentation. Contact our team at support@francis.app, if you have trouble connecting. As with the Francis Agent, the Francis MCP server inherits the permissions of the member who connects it. An agent can never access data that member can’t access themselves. Only workspace owners decide which clients members can connect, and they can enable or disable individual clients directly from settings.
- Tracking categories from XeroYour chart of accounts shows what you spent, but not where. Francis now imports Xero tracking categories along with your journal entries. If you split your books by department, region, cost centre or store, you can work with those categories directly in breakdowns. Add a breakdown by tracking category to see actuals for each department or region, build budgets and forecasts for each cost centre, or compare plan against actuals store by store. Tracking categories are available by default on new Xero connections. If you connected Xero before 1 October 2026, reconnect once to move to the updated integration. If you need help reconnecting, email support@francis.app and we'll get you set up.
