Overview

What is Personal Finance MCP?

A self-hosted, read-only MCP server that connects your banks, credit cards, loans, and brokerage accounts (via Plaid) to Claude Code.

Requires Python 3.11+, a free Plaid Trial plan (up to 10 Items), and an MCP client like Claude Code. Clone the repository, install dependencies, copy .env.example to .env and fill in Plaid credentials. Run uvicorn link_helper:app --port 8765 once per bank to generate access tokens, then run python server.py to serve the server on http://localhost:8000/mcp. Add it to Claude Code with claude mcp add --transport http personal-finance http://localhost:8000/mcp.
