Comprehensive AI Tool for YNAB Budgeting
MCP-YNAB is a read-only Model Context Protocol server designed for seamless integration with the YNAB budgeting API. It enables users to inspect their financial data, including plans, accounts, categories, transactions, and monthly summaries, through various read tools. The application is built in Go and operates without any inbound network surface, ensuring security by storing tokens in the OS keyring. Users can interact with the application using compatible LLM clients, allowing for efficient financial management and analysis.
The toolset includes a variety of read tools such as listing plans, accounts, and transactions, along with task-shaped tools for more complex queries like spending checks and debt snapshots. While the application is read-only by default, users can opt to enable write tools for creating and updating transactions by setting a specific environment variable. This careful design mitigates risks associated with financial data manipulation, making MCP-YNAB a secure and user-friendly solution for YNAB users.
