It is distributed as actual-budget-mcp on npm and as the Docker image ghcr.io/henfrydls/actual-budget-mcp:0.8.2, filed under Other by this index, and declares 6 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; [the index's current counts](/stats) put this record in context.\n\n## Using Actual Budget in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?\n\nMCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and **HOLDs the call** when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use **Install this server** for that).\n\nRewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate.

The semantic screen takes adversarial cases first; coverage rolls out as the corpus expands (15/150 labels to graduation). The deterministic conformance probe is built but has not yet run on the public corpus, so a recorded verdict here is REVIEW or UNVERIFIED, never a clearing ALLOW. Until a verdict is recorded, an agent should treat this tool as not-yet-cleared and fall back to its own checks. Method: [the eval, four-state verdict, honest limits](/methodology).\n\nOwn this server? [Screen its description →](/screen)\n\n## That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-09-01).\n\nContracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins Actual Budget’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.\n\n[See your first HOLD in 2 minutes →](/guides/install-the-gate-first-hold)\n\nRelated: [how to trust an MCP server](/guides/how-to-trust-an-mcp-server) · [screen before install](/guides/screen-mcp-server-before-install) · [silent contract drift](/guides/mcp-silent-contract-drift)\n\n`ACTUAL_SERVER_URL`\n\nURL of your Actual Budget server, for example http://localhost:5006\n\n`ACTUAL_PASSWORD`\n\nPassword for your Actual Budget server\n\n`ACTUAL_BUDGET_ID`\n\nYour budget's Sync ID, found under Settings > Show advanced settings\n\n`ACTUAL_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD`\n\nOnly needed if your budget file is end-to-end encrypted\n\n`ACTUAL_READ_ONLY`\n\nSet to 1 to hide every write tool from the model, exposing only reads and analysis\n\n`ACTUAL_DATA_DIR`\n\nDirectory for the local budget cache\n\n`ACTUAL_SERVER_URL`\n\nURL of your Actual Budget server.
