# MCP YNAB Server

An MCP server implementation that provides access to YNAB (You Need A Budget) functionality through the Model Context Protocol.

## Features

- View account balances and transactions
- Create new transactions
- Access YNAB data through standardized MCP resources

## Installation

```bash
uv pip install -e .
```

## Configuration

The server requires a YNAB API key to function. You can obtain one from your [YNAB Developer Settings](https://app.ynab.com/settings/developer).

The API key can be provided through:

1. Environment variable: `YNAB_API_KEY=your_api_key`
2. MCP secret management system
3. `.env` file in project root

## Usage

### Running the Server

```bash
# Development mode with hot reload and browser launch
task dev

# Production install for Claude Desktop, Goose, or any other MCP-supported environment
task install
```

### Available Resources

- `ynab://accounts` - List all YNAB accounts
- `ynab://transactions/{account_id}` - Get recent transactions for a specific account

### Available Tools

- `create_transaction` - Create a new transaction
- `get_account_balance` - Get the current balance of an account

## Example Usage

```python
# Create a new transaction
result = await create_transaction(
account_id="your_account_id",
amount=42.50, # in dollars
payee_name="Coffee Shop",
category_name="Dining Out",
memo="Morning coffee"
)

# Get account balance
balance = await get_account_balance("your_account_id")

# List accounts
accounts = await ctx.read_resource("ynab://accounts")

# Get recent transactions
transactions = await ctx.read_resource(f"ynab://transactions/{account_id}")
```

## Development

```bash
# Install dependencies (uses uv)
task deps

# Run all tests including integration tests (you will need a YNAB API key for this)
task test:all

# Generate coverage report
task coverage

# Format and lint code
task fmt # Should add this to Taskfile
```

## Project Tasks

This project uses a Taskfile for common operations. Key commands:

```bash
task dev # Start dev server with auto-reload
task test # Run unit tests
task coverage # Generate test coverage report
task install # Install production build
task deps # Synchronize dependencies
```

See [Taskfile.yml](Taskfile.yml) for all available tasks.
