Monobank MCP Server
This server integrates with Monobank's API via MCP to provide currency rates, client account info, and account statements.
Get Currency Rates (
get_currency_rates): Fetch current exchange rates (public endpoint, no token needed). Cached for 5 minutes.Get Client Info (
get_client_info): Retrieve client details, list of accounts and jars (requires Monobank API token). Cached for 60 seconds.Get Statement (
get_statement): Obtain transaction history for a specific account or jar over a date range (max 31 days + 1 hour). Uses ISO 8601 dates, thetodate is inclusive, and defaults to the primary account if not specified (requires token). Cached per query for 60 seconds.
Key behaviors:
Monetary amounts are returned in currency units (not cents).
In-memory caching prevents hitting Monobank's rate limits.
The server starts without a token and partially works (currency rates).
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Monobank MCP Servershow me my account balance and recent transactions"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Monobank MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for integrating with Monobank API.
Quick Install
Download the latest .mcpb bundle from the Releases page and open it — Claude Desktop or Claude Code will handle the rest. You'll be prompted to enter your Monobank API token during installation.

Prerequisites
Node.js 18.0.0 or higher
A Monobank API token. You can obtain it at: https://api.monobank.ua/
Note: Your API token is only used locally and is never tracked or transmitted anywhere except to Monobank's API.
Available Tools
The server provides three tools:
get_currency_rates - Get currency exchange rates. Public endpoint; works without an API token.
get_client_info - Get client information, accounts and jars. Requires a token.
get_statement - Get the statement for an account or jar over a date range. Requires a token. Maximum range is 31 days + 1 hour.
Behaviour worth knowing
Amounts are returned in currency units, not cents. A balance of 100,000.00 UAH is reported as
100000, not10000000. This applies to every monetary field in bothget_client_infoandget_statement, includingcommissionRate, which Monobank returns as an absolute amount despite its name.Responses are cached in memory so that Monobank's rate limits are not exceeded: 5 minutes for currency rates, 60 seconds for client info and for each distinct statement query. A repeated call inside that window returns the cached result instead of failing with
HTTP 429.Statement dates are ISO 8601
YYYY-MM-DD, interpreted as UTC. Thetodate is inclusive — a statement from2024-10-01to2024-10-31covers all of October 31. Omittoto mean "up to now".The statement
accountparameter defaults to0, the client's default account. Account and jar identifiers returned byget_client_infoare also accepted.MONOBANK_API_TOKENis only needed forget_client_infoandget_statement. The server starts without it andget_currency_rateskeeps working; the two authenticated tools return an error explaining that the variable is unset.

Available Tools
3 toolsget_client_infoA
Get information about a client and a list of their accounts and jars. The tool can be called not more than 1 time per 60 seconds, otherwise an error will be thrown.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
Discloses rate limit (1 per 60s) but does not mention read-only nature or other behavioral traits, leaving gaps without annotations.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two concise sentences, front-loaded purpose, no filler.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Covers purpose and key constraint; lacks output format details but is adequate for a simple read tool.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
No parameters exist; baseline for 0 parameters is 4. Description correctly avoids adding unnecessary detail.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Clearly states it retrieves client information, accounts, and jars. Distinct from siblings get_currency_rates and get_statement.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides a rate limit constraint but no guidance on when to use vs alternatives or prerequisites.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_currency_ratesA
Get a basic list of currency rates from Monobank. The information can be refreshed once per 5 minutes, otherwise an error will be thrown.

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It discloses the rate limit and error condition, which is important behavioral information. However, it does not detail the return format or other behaviors, so a 4 is given.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Two sentences, front-loaded with purpose, then constraint. No unnecessary words. Every sentence earns its place.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the simplicity (no params, no output schema), the description covers the source and a key constraint. It might lack details on the return structure, but for a basic list retrieval, it is sufficiently complete.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
The schema has zero parameters, making schema coverage 100%. The description adds no parameter semantics because none are needed. The baseline for 0 parameters is 4, and the description meets that.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the verb 'Get' and the resource 'a basic list of currency rates from Monobank', distinguishing it from sibling tools like get_client_info and get_statement which serve different purposes.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description explicitly mentions the refresh rate constraint: 'once per 5 minutes, otherwise an error will be thrown', providing clear guidance on when to use the tool. However, it does not mention alternatives or explicitly state when not to use it, so a 4 is appropriate.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
get_statementC
Get Monobank statement for the time from {from} to {to} time in seconds in Unix time format. The maximum time for which it is posssible to obtain a statement is 31 days + 1 hour (2682000 seconds). The statement can be retrieved not more than once per 60 seconds, otherwise an error will be thrown.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |

TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
No annotations provided, so description must disclose all behavioral traits. It reveals time and rate limits but contradicts the schema on parameter format (Unix time vs ISO 8601), reducing trustworthiness.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
Description is concise but contains conflicting information. It front-loads purpose and constraints but sacrifices accuracy.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
No output schema, so description should explain return value; it does not. Contradictions in parameter format make it incomplete. Missing details on statement structure.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 0% per context, so description must compensate. Instead, it misrepresents parameter formats (says Unix time, schema says ISO 8601) and only partially describes account (default '0'). No value added.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
Description clearly identifies the tool's purpose: get a Monobank statement for a time range. However, confusion between Unix time (description) and ISO 8601 (schema) slightly diminishes clarity. Sibling tools are distinct.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
Provides constraints on maximum time period (31 days + 1 hour) and rate limit (once per 60 seconds), but no explicit guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives or when not to use it.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

TDQS
Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a distinct resource: currency rates, client/account info, and transaction statements. No overlap or ambiguity between them.
All three tools follow the exact same get_noun pattern, with clear and uniform naming. This is perfectly consistent.
With 3 tools, the server is tightly scoped to the core Monobank personal API endpoints. Each tool earns its place, and the count is ideal for this narrow domain.
The server covers all primary read-only Monobank API operations: currency rates, client info, and statements. No obvious gaps exist for the intended functionality, as the API itself offers few other personal endpoints.
