My Finance MCP Server
Bare-bones Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude store personal finance transactions and later query them via semantic search. Transactions are persisted in ChromaDB for vector search plus a JSON ledger for backup.
Run it alongside Claude Desktop and you get an AI bookkeeper that remembers your receipts, statements, and portfolios—then answers natural language questions about spending trends, allocations, or anything else you upload.

local-only server
The server can only run on the client's local machine because it depends on local resources.
Enables Claude to store and query personal finance transactions using semantic search. Transactions are persisted in ChromaDB and JSON, allowing natural language questions about spending trends and portfolio allocations.
