FAQ from ILBudget-mcp

What is the difference between ILBudget-mcp and direct OpenBudget API usage?

ILBudget-mcp wraps the OpenBudget API into a standardized MCP interface, making it simpler for MCP-aware clients (e.g., Copilot, Claude) to access budget data without custom query construction.

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.10 or higher and the uv package manager are required. Dependencies include fastmcp (≥2.1.1) and requests (≥2.32.3).

Where does the budget data come from?

All data is pulled in real-time from the public OpenBudget API, which is maintained by the BudgetKey team. No data is stored locally by the server.

What transport and authentication does the server use?

The server uses the standard MCP protocol over the transport provided by the MCP client (e.g., Claude, VSCode). No authentication or API keys are mentioned in the README.

Is there a limit on the size or scope of queries?

The README does not specify any built-in limits; performance depends on the OpenBudget API’s response time and the client’s MCP implementation.
