Ask about any account or any transaction. Read-only, on a server you run.\n\n**Standard MCP** · Claude, ChatGPT, Mistral, Cursor, or a local model · **2,700+** European banks via Enable Banking · **MIT**\n\n`get_transactions` · Main · last 14 days`create_watch` · credit matching “Acme”\nYour assistant talks to your server. Your server talks to your bank through Enable Banking, a licensed open-banking provider. Your data passes through Enable Banking on every call and is not stored there. It does not go to the makers of BankMCP™.\n\nOn your machine with `npx bankmcp`, or as one container on Railway or Fly. A new server shows a setup page in the browser.\n\nFree. You get an application and a private key. The setup page shows the values their form asks for.\n\nAdd your server as a connector, sign in with your password, then say `connect my bank` and log in at your bank.\n\nIt reads balances and transactions. It has no payment tools.\n\nThe key and the bank consents stay on a server you control. The bank connection itself goes through Enable Banking; that part is not local.\n\nThe server fetches balances and transactions when you ask and does not save them. It keeps your consents, your watches and your login. Your assistant keeps the conversation, as any chat does.\n\nStandard MCP, so Claude, ChatGPT, Mistral, Cursor or a local model can connect. Tested with Claude and Ollama.\n\nThe banks Enable Banking covers. No contract is needed for your own accounts.\n\nChange the password, revoke the consent at your bank, or delete the server.\n\nThere is no hosted version. You deploy your own copy and you are the only user. MIT licence.\n\n**Disclaimer.** Use at your own risk.
