The Lunchmoney MCP Server is a tool that interacts with Lunchmoney financial data, allowing users to analyze their spending and budgets through AI-assisted conversations. It features privacy-conscious data handling and integrates with various AI models through MCP.
How does the Lunchmoney MCP Server ensure my data privacy?
The server runs locally on your machine, and your Lunchmoney API token never leaves your local environment. Only specific requested information is shared with the AI assistant, and each request requires user approval.
What should I do if Claude can't connect to my MCP server?
Ensure the configuration in Claude's Developer settings is correct, restart Claude Desktop after making changes, and verify that your Lunchmoney API token is valid.
How can I search for specific transactions?
You can use the 'search-transactions' feature to search transactions by keyword in payee names or notes.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs), allowing for a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.
What are the requirements for budget data queries?
Budget data queries must use month boundaries for dates, such as 2024-01-01 to 2024-01-31.
