Usage Examples

Check balances

"What are my USAA account balances?"
→ calls usaa_get_account_balances

Transfer money

"Transfer $500 from my checking to savings"
→ calls usaa_transfer_funds with confirm=true

File a claim

"File an auto insurance claim for a fender bender on March 10th"
→ calls usaa_file_claim with confirm=true

Check investments

"How are my USAA investments doing?"
→ calls usaa_get_investment_accounts

Authentication Flow

USAA uses multi-factor authentication, so login is browser-assisted:

  1. Call usaa_login — a browser window opens to USAA's login page

  2. Complete login manually in the browser (username, password, MFA code)

  3. Call usaa_confirm_login — session cookies are saved to ~/.strider/usaa/

  4. All subsequent calls use the saved session automatically

Sessions persist until they expire or you call usaa_logout.

Safety & Confirmation

Destructive or financial operations require explicit confirmation:

  • usaa_transfer_funds — requires confirm: true

  • usaa_pay_bill — requires confirm: true

  • usaa_mobile_deposit — requires confirm: true

  • usaa_file_claim — requires confirm: true

Calling without confirm: true returns a preview of the action without executing it.

Technical Details

  • Built on Patchright (stealth Playwright fork) for browser automation

  • Runs headful Chrome to handle USAA's bot detection and MFA

  • Session data stored in ~/.strider/usaa/ (auth.json + session.json)

  • Communicates with MCP clients via stdio transport

Limitations

  • Manual login required — USAA's security requires human-in-the-loop for initial authentication

  • MFA required — Must complete MFA in the browser window during login

  • Session expiry — USAA sessions expire; re-login will be needed periodically

  • DOM-dependent — Selectors may need updates if USAA changes their web UI

Troubleshooting

"Not logged in" errors → Call usaa_login, complete login in the browser, then usaa_confirm_login

"Timeout" errors → USAA's site may be slow or your session expired. Try re-logging in.

"net::ERR_" errors → Check your internet connection. USAA may be temporarily unavailable.

Browser doesn't open → Run npx patchright install chromium to install the browser
