# Get your customer account

> The portal.account.get operation: GET /api/v1/portal/me in the REST API and the portal_account_get tool in the MCP server.

Returns the signed-in customer's own account with the brand: email, name, business name, billing address and
tax IDs with their latest check, and when they last signed in to the portal.

Customer portal only: the caller is the customer signed in to the brand's portal (`portal:read`).
