BankSync MCP Server

BankSync MCP Server

npm version PyPI version License: MIT Install with NPX in VS Code

Talk to your bank data. Connect AI agents to real bank accounts — transactions, balances, investments, and loans — across 15,000+ financial institutions.

BankSync MCP is an open Model Context Protocol server with 28 tools that gives Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and other AI agents secure, read-write access to your financial data. Sync to Notion, Google Sheets, and Airtable — all through conversation.


Quick Start

Get your API key at banksync.io/developers. BankSync runs as a remote MCP server — no install required:

URL:       https://mcp.banksync.io
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Header:    X-API-Key: your-key

Setup

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "banksync": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.banksync.io",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
claude mcp add --transport http banksync https://mcp.banksync.io \
  --header "X-API-Key: your-key"

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "banksync": {
      "url": "https://mcp.banksync.io",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "banksync": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.banksync.io",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "banksync": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.banksync.io",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

For clients that don't support remote HTTP servers, use the npm package as a local bridge:

npx -y @banksync/mcp              # Node.js
pip install banksync-mcp && banksync-mcp  # Python

Set BANKSYNC_API_KEY=your-key as an environment variable. The package bridges stdio to https://mcp.banksync.io automatically.

Example config (any stdio client):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "banksync": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@banksync/mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BANKSYNC_API_KEY": "your-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

What You Can Do

Ask your AI agent questions like:

  • "What were my biggest expenses last month?"

  • "How much do I have across all my accounts?"

  • "Show my investment portfolio performance"

  • "Sync my transactions to Notion every week"

  • "What's my outstanding loan balance?"

Tools

28 tools across 7 categories. Full reference with parameters and examples: docs/TOOLS.md

How It Works

AI Agent (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, ...)
    ↓ Streamable HTTP
mcp.banksync.io (Cloudflare Workers)
    ↓ Bank APIs
Plaid (US/UK/CA) · Basiq (AU/NZ)
    ↓ Sync
Notion · Google Sheets · Airtable

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for details.

Typical Workflow

1. list_workspaces          → find your workspace
2. list_banks               → see connected banks
3. list_accounts            → discover accounts
4. get_transactions         → fetch financial data
5. list_integrations        → find your Notion/Sheets connection
6. get_data_type_schema     → discover available field mappings
7. create_feed              → set up an automated pipeline
8. trigger_sync             → run it

Security

  • API key authentication — keys scoped per workspace

  • All data encrypted in transit (TLS)

  • Role-based permissions (owner/admin/editor/viewer)

  • BankSync never stores banking credentials — delegated to Plaid/Basiq

  • Stateless MCP transport — no session data persisted

See SECURITY.md for our security policy and vulnerability reporting.

Debugging

Use the MCP Inspector to test and debug the server:

BANKSYNC_API_KEY=your-key npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector npx -y @banksync/mcp

Or connect the inspector directly to the remote server:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --url https://mcp.banksync.io --header "X-API-Key: your-key"
