MCP alternatives

Your finance app doesn't have an MCP server.

Mint, YNAB, Monarch and the rest can't connect to Claude or ChatGPT. MyFinance MCP is the free, open-source way to track expenses, budgets and net worth by talking to your AI.

Standalone vs bridges

Not a bridge to another app. The app itself.

Most personal finance MCP servers on GitHub are bridges: thin wrappers that connect your AI to an account you already pay for in YNAB, Monarch Money, Actual Budget or Firefly III. A bridge inherits the app behind it - the subscription, the onboarding, the hosting - and adds an API token to manage. MyFinance MCP is standalone: the server is the finance app.

MCP bridge to a finance app

  • Needs the underlying app: a paid subscription (YNAB, Monarch, Lunch Money) or a server you self-host (Actual, Firefly III)
  • Usually runs locally with your API token; you install, update and secure it yourself
  • Tracking still happens in the app; the AI is a remote control
  • Two accounts, two logins, two places where your data lives

MyFinance MCP, standalone

  • No other app required: expenses, budgets, trends and net worth live here
  • Hosted remote server with OAuth 2.1: paste the URL, sign in, done
  • The chat is the interface; dashboards render right in the conversation
  • One account, exportable to CSV any time, deletable with one tool call

Already happy with your finance app? Keep it - a bridge is the right tool for that. MyFinance MCP is for people who want the AI chat to be the whole finance stack.

Track money inside the AI you already use.

Free and open source. It works with Claude, ChatGPT and any MCP client.
