Recon in your AI assistant
Use Recon from Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants
Connect Tyms Recon and ask your assistant why an account is off, what's still open, or to draft the month-end memo. It proposes matches for the breaks the rules left, and a person in your team approves them. It works on the same reconciliations your team sees in the browser, as you.
The address
Add this address to your assistant as a connector (also called an MCP server). It's the same for everyone:
https://recon.tyms.ai/mcpThe first time your assistant connects, you sign in with your Tyms account and choose the workspace it works in. No account yet? Get started for free; an owner or admin switches Recon on for your organisation in one click.
Set it up
Claude
- In Claude (web or desktop), open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Tyms Recon and paste the address as the URL.
- Select Connect, sign in with your Tyms account and choose your workspace.
- In a chat, turn on Tyms Recon from the tools menu and ask about your reconciliations and breaks.
On Claude Team or Enterprise, an owner may need to add the connector for the organisation first; then each person selects Connect.
ChatGPT
- In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
- Back in Apps & Connectors, choose Create. Name it Tyms Recon, paste the address and pick OAuth.
- Sign in with your Tyms account and choose your workspace.
- In a chat, add Tyms Recon from the tools menu.
Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan; on Business plans an admin may need to allow them.
Claude Code
- Run
claude mcp add --transport http tyms-recon https://recon.tyms.ai/mcpin your terminal. - In Claude Code, run
/mcp, choose tyms-recon and sign in.
Cursor
- Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server.
- Paste the address. Cursor asks you to sign in the first time it uses Recon.
VS Code
- Run MCP: Add Server from the command palette, choose HTTP and paste the address.
- Use it from Copilot Chat in agent mode; VS Code asks you to sign in the first time.
Other assistants
- Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP with OAuth can connect: add a server with the address and sign in when asked.
Assistant menus change from time to time; if a step doesn't match what you see, look for “connectors”, “apps” or “MCP” in its settings.
Try asking
- “Why is the MoMo trust account off today?”
- “Which breaks are older than three days, and who owns them?”
- “Explain this line: why didn't the rules match it?”
- “Draft the month-end reconciliation memo for the bank vs GL account.”
Assistants that offer prompts also list two ready-made ones: explain the breaks, and the month-end memo.
What it can do
- It acts as you. It sees the reconciliations you can see and can do what you can do in Recon, nothing more.
- It explains. Why a period is off, where a line came from, which rules looked at it and why it didn't match, and what the breaks are by reason, age and owner.
- It proposes; people approve. A match or write-off it proposes always waits for a person to approve it in Recon, even when the totals agree. Usually that is a second person, as if you had proposed it; on a reconciliation set to need no second person, you approve what your assistant proposed.
- It never approves, signs off or unlocks. No tool approves a proposal, signs off a period, reopens one or changes the rules. Those stay with people in the browser.
- Everything is in the audit log. What it does is recorded with your name and marked “via Claude” (or your assistant's name), in the same tamper-evident log as everyone's work, and in the period's evidence pack.
- Same price as the browser. Transactions it reconciles count towards your workspace's 10,000 free a month, then $1 per 1,000.
Tools
What your assistant may call. Read-only access offers only the tools that read.
| Tool | What it does | Kind |
|---|---|---|
list_reconciliations | Lists your reconciliations with their latest period, match rate and open breaks. | Reads |
get_period | Shows one period: statements loaded, checks, balances, match rate, open breaks and sign-off. | Reads |
list_breaks | Lists open breaks across reconciliations, oldest and largest first; narrows by reconciliation, owner, reason, age, side or words. | Reads |
get_break | Shows a break: its lines, value, owner, reason, age and comments. | Reads |
explain_line | Says where a line came from, lists the rules in order, and shows the closest open lines on the other side with what differs. | Reads |
coverage_status | Shows trust account coverage: what customers are owed against what the account holds. | Reads |
propose_match | Proposes matching lines on both sides; it always waits for a person to approve in Recon. | Proposes |
propose_write_off | Proposes writing off a break with a reason code; it always waits for a person to approve in Recon. | Proposes |
comment_on_break | Adds a comment to a break. | Changes |
assign_break | Gives a break an owner, a reason code or a note. | Changes |
load_statement | Loads a statement into a period, through the same checks as an upload. | Changes |

Privacy and control
- See and disconnect. Every assistant you've allowed, in which workspace and when it was last used, is on Connected apps. Disconnecting ends its access within the hour.
- Admins decide. Owners and admins can turn assistants off for the whole workspace in Tyms Admin, which disconnects every assistant there at once. Someone removed from a workspace loses their assistants' access with it.
- No conversations kept. Recon records which assistant called which tool and what changed, never the text of your chats.
- Secure sign-in. Assistants sign in through auth.tyms.ai with OAuth; they never see your password, and their access expires and renews on its own.
Read the privacy policy and terms.
Questions
Which workspace does my assistant use?
The one you choose when you connect. Everyone uses the same address; after you sign in, Tyms lists your workspaces that have Recon switched on and you pick one. To switch, disconnect it in Connected apps and connect again. To connect one workspace only, without being asked, use its own address: your-team.recon.tyms.ai/mcp.
Can my assistant approve a match or sign off a period?
No. No tool approves, signs off or unlocks anything. Your assistant can propose a match or a write-off, and the proposal waits for a person to approve it in the browser: another approver, as if you had proposed it yourself, or you, on a reconciliation set to need no second person. Sign-off and reopening a period stay with people.
It says AI assistants are turned off for this workspace.
An owner or admin of the workspace has turned assistants off in Tyms Admin. Ask them to turn “Allow AI assistants to connect” back on.
It says Recon is switched off, or offers no workspace.
Recon isn't on for your workspace yet. An owner or admin can switch it on for free at recon.tyms.ai. If you don't have a Tyms account, get started there with your work email.
Does my assistant cost extra?
No. Recon is billed the same way whoever reconciles: the first 10,000 transactions reconciled each month are free per workspace, then $1 per 1,000. Loading statements, breaks, comments, approvals, sign-off and evidence packs are never charged.
What does Tyms keep about my conversations?
Nothing from them. Recon records which assistant called which tool, in which workspace, and what it changed, in the same audit log as everyone else's work. It never sees or stores the text of your chats.
