The short answer

There are two completely different ways to connect an AI assistant to Finmagine, and only one of them is visible on /account/connected-apps.php:

The one-line version: If you never saw a Finmagine login/consent screen when you set the connector up, it's the API-key type — and it was never going to show up on Connected Apps, no matter how many times you refresh.
Finmagine's Connected Apps page showing two active OAuth connections, labeled 'Claude' and 'ChatGPT' — not 'Finmagine'
The real Connected Apps page — both OAuth connections are listed under the assistant's name, not "Finmagine".

The two connection methods, side by side

 Static API keyOAuth login
How you set it upPaste a connector URL with your key in it: https://finmagine.com/api/mcp.php?apiKey=fmk_...Paste just https://finmagine.com/api/mcp.php, then the assistant walks you through a real Finmagine login and an "Allow access" consent screen.
What it's tied toWhichever developer API key you generated at finmagine.com/developer — the same key you could also use in a script or curl command.A short-lived access token plus a 90-day refresh token, issued specifically to that one assistant, for your account only.
Typical name you gave itOften "Finmagine Market Intelligence" — the name our own Getting Started guide suggests for this exact setup.Whatever you typed when adding it — commonly just "Finmagine".
Shows on Connected Apps?Never. No OAuth token exists to list.Yes — but listed under the connecting app's own name ("Claude" / "ChatGPT"), not "Finmagine".
How to disconnect itDelete or rotate the API key on the developer portal, or remove the connector on the assistant's side. Finmagine's account page has no visibility into who's holding a given fmk_ key.Click Disconnect on Connected Apps — instantly revokes every token issued to that app.
Both are legitimate. The API-key method isn't a workaround or a lesser option — it's the simpler of two supported paths, and it's what most MCP clients that don't yet do OAuth (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) use exclusively. It just isn't designed to be managed from your Finmagine account page, the same way a raw API key pasted into any other script wouldn't be either.

Why the connecting app's name shows, not "Finmagine"

Connected Apps is Finmagine's version of the "third-party app access" page every major platform has — the same idea as Google's "Apps with access to your account" or GitHub's "Authorized OAuth Apps". Those pages all work the same way: they list things from your account's point of view. Google's page shows "Zoom" or "Slack", not "Google" — because Zoom and Slack are the outside apps that asked for access to your Google account.

Finmagine's page follows the identical convention. When Claude connects via OAuth, it's Claude asking Finmagine for access to your data — so the row is labeled "Claude". Once ChatGPT's public listing clears review, the exact same connection will show up labeled "ChatGPT". "Finmagine" is simply what you called the connector on the assistant's own side — that label lives in Claude's or ChatGPT's settings, not in Finmagine's database, so it was never going to appear on Finmagine's own page either way.

"I just connected and it's still not showing"

Before assuming something's broken, check these in order:

  1. Is it the API-key type? Check the connector URL or config on the assistant's side. If you see ?apiKey=fmk_... anywhere, that's expected to never appear on Connected Apps — see the comparison above.
  2. Reload the page. Connected Apps queries the database fresh on every load — it isn't cached. But if you had the tab open from before you finished the login/consent screen, that tab is just showing what it loaded then. A refresh fixes it.
  3. Are you looking for the word "Finmagine"? Look for "Claude" or "ChatGPT" instead — see the section above.
  4. Are you logged into the right Finmagine account? Connected Apps only shows connections made under the account you're currently logged in as. If you approved the consent screen while logged in as a different Finmagine account (a work vs. personal login, for example), it'll show up there instead.
Still stuck? Contact contact@finmagine.com and mention which assistant, roughly when you connected it, and whether you saw a Finmagine login screen during setup — that alone tells us which of the two methods you used.

ChatGPT — currently in review

Finmagine's ChatGPT app is submitted to OpenAI's app directory and awaiting approval. Once it's live, connecting will be a single click from ChatGPT's app directory — no manual URL or API key to paste — and it will always use OAuth, so every ChatGPT connection will show up on Connected Apps automatically, labeled "ChatGPT".

Quick reference

Why doesn't my connector show up on Connected Apps?
It's almost certainly the static API-key type, which never creates anything for that page to list. That's expected, not a bug.
Why does it say "Claude" instead of "Finmagine"?
The page lists the outside app connecting to your account, not the service you connected to — same convention as Google's or GitHub's connected-apps pages.
Can I switch my API-key connector to OAuth later?
Yes — remove the old connector on the assistant's side and add a new one using just the bare MCP URL (no ?apiKey=), which triggers the login/consent flow instead. See the Getting Started guide for the exact steps.
