## ๐Ÿš€ What It Does

TaxFormatter turns messy financial exports into structured, tax-ready data โ€” for humans _and_ for AI agents.

Drop a CSV from Coinbase, a ZIP from Kraken, a `.tar.gz` from Binance, or a PDF statement from Chase, and get back a clean, normalized transaction set you can pipe into Koinly, TurboTax, CoinLedger, ZenLedger โ€” or straight into your own software.

```
   Exchange CSV                        Clean, normalized
   Bank PDF              โ†’             transactions (JSON / CSV)
   XLSX / ZIP / TAR.GZ                 + AI-generated insights
```

## โœจ Features

### ๐Ÿ”Œ Developer REST API
Ship a crypto-tax or bank-ingestion feature into your product in an afternoon.

- `POST /v1/parse` โ€” upload a CSV or PDF, get structured JSON back
- `GET  /v1/sources` โ€” list every supported exchange, bank, and output format
- `GET  /v1/usage` โ€” monthly quota, RPM limit, current consumption
- `GET  /v1/health` โ€” liveness probe
- **Auth:** `X-API-Key` header with `tf_live_*` keys (SHA-256 hashed at rest)
- **Host:** `https://api.taxformatter.com`

### ๐Ÿค– MCP Server for AI Agents
Give Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible agent the ability to parse crypto and bank data directly.

```bash
npx @taxformatter/mcp-server
```

| Tool | What it does |
|------|---------------|
| `parse_crypto_csv` | Auto-detects the exchange, returns normalized transactions |
| `parse_bank_statement` | Extracts transactions from bank statement PDFs |
| `list_supported_sources` | Queries every supported source + output format |

### ๐Ÿ“ฆ Official SDKs
- **Node.js** โ†’ [`@taxformatter/sdk`](packages/sdk-node) โ€” promise-based, fully typed
- **Python** โ†’ [`taxformatter`](packages/sdk-python) โ€” idiomatic, type-hinted

### ๐Ÿฆ 14 Exchanges ยท 7+ Banks ยท 4 Tax Software Formats

**Exchanges:** Coinbase ยท Kraken ยท Gemini ยท Binance ยท Robinhood ยท Crypto.com ยท PayPal ยท Cash App ยท Venmo ยท KuCoin ยท Bybit ยท FTX ยท Bitfinex ยท OKX

**Banks:** Chase ยท Mercury ยท Navy Federal ยท Bank of America ยท Wells Fargo ยท Citi ยท Capital One

**Export formats:** Koinly ยท TurboTax (Form 8949) ยท CoinLedger ยท ZenLedger

### ๐Ÿง  Tiered AI Insights
Every parsed file comes back with actionable analysis โ€” scaled to your plan.

| Tier | Model | Output |
|------|-------|--------|
| Free / Starter | Gemini 2.5 Flash | Quick stats + basic flagging |

## โšก Quick Start

### Run the web app

```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```

Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).

### Try the API

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.taxformatter.com/v1/parse \
  -H "X-API-Key: tf_live_..." \
  -F "file=@coinbase.csv"
```

### Use the MCP server with Claude Code

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "taxformatter": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@taxformatter/mcp-server"],
      "env": { "TAXFORMATTER_API_KEY": "tf_live_..." }
    }
  }
}
```

### Install the Node SDK

```bash
npm install @taxformatter/sdk
```

```ts
import { TaxFormatter } from "@taxformatter/sdk";

const tf = new TaxFormatter({ apiKey: process.env.TF_API_KEY! });
const result = await tf.parse({ file: fs.createReadStream("./coinbase.csv") });
```

---

## ๐Ÿงช Testing

```bash
npm test              # Jest unit tests (160+ across API, MCP, keys, UI)
npm run test:e2e      # Playwright end-to-end tests
npm run typecheck     # TypeScript strict mode
npm run lint          # ESLint
```

## ๐Ÿ’ณ Pricing

One plan, two ways to use it โ€” drop a file in the dashboard or call our API. Same quota, same AI insights.

| Tier | Price | Quota | RPM | AI Insights | Highlights |
|------|-------|-------|-----|-------------|------------|
| Free | $0 | 25 files | 10 | Gemini 2.5 Flash | All 14 exchanges ยท No credit card |
| Starter | $29/mo | 100 files | 30 | Gemini 2.5 Flash | All 14 exchanges |
| Growth | $99/mo | 500 files | 60 | Claude Sonnet 4.6 | + Bank PDF parsing |
| Business | $249/mo | 2,000 files | 120 | Claude Opus 4.7 | + Custom integrations ยท SLA |

---

## ๐Ÿ”’ Security Highlights

- **Stateless API processing** โ€” file content lives in Lambda RAM only, never written to disk
- **Zero payload logging** โ€” `api_requests` stores metadata only (hash, status, bytes, timing)
- **API keys SHA-256 hashed** at rest, prefixed `tf_live_` for easy identification
- **TLS 1.3** enforced everywhere
- **AES-256** encryption on all stored uploads
- **AWS WAF** โ€” DDoS shield, SQL injection, XSS mitigation
- **User-controlled retention** โ€” 1 year default, or delete-after-download
