Cashflow Voice — an Alexa+ MCP server for small-business cash flow

"Alexa, can I make payroll next month?" "You have 1,868,000 yen today. Cash dips below zero the week of December 21. Want a plan?"

Cashflow Voice is a self-hosted MCP server (spec 2025-11-25, Streamable HTTP) for the Alexa+ track (priority category: business systems). It turns a café or shop owner's bank CSV and open invoices into spoken answers, a 13-week forecast, and a ranked plan to avoid a cash crunch — and it never moves money without a spoken confirmation code.

Why

Most small businesses that fail run out of cash, not customers. Owners are busy on the floor, not in spreadsheets. Voice is where they already are (kitchen, counter, car).

What it does (MCP tools)

Tool

Purpose

import_transactions

Load a bank CSV (date, description, amount[, category, counterparty])

cash_position

Balance today + one-sentence 13-week outlook

forecast_cashflow

Week-by-week forecast with the drivers behind each week

can_i_afford

"Can I buy a ¥400k oven on Nov 2?" against a safety buffer

shortfall_plan

Ranked fixes: chase receivables early, defer bills, draw only the gap

propose_action

Prepare an action; returns an id + 4-digit code. Nothing executes

confirm_action

Executes in sandbox only after the owner reads back the code

cancel_action

Cancel a pending action

remember / recall

Context that survives across Alexa sessions

audit_log

Every import, question, proposal and confirmation, timestamped

Design principles

  • Deterministic numbers. The LLM speaks; the engine calculates. Same input, same answer.

  • Human-in-the-loop money. Two-step propose → confirm with a one-time code, no replay, per-business isolation, sandbox execution.

  • Prompt-injection hygiene. Transaction text is treated as data (see tests).

  • Memory across sessions. SQLite per business (CASHFLOW_DB).
