Budget

MCP Budget — monthly budgets you set and check inside the conversation

Give Claude (or any MCP client) a real envelope budget: budget_set to declare a category and its monthly cap, budget_spend to record spending against it, budget_report to see every category with how much is left. All of it in chat, all of it on your machine, no finance app login and no bank connection.

Why a budget server

Budget apps want your bank credentials, a subscription, and the discipline to open them. This one asks for none of that. It keeps a simple in-memory ledger for the session: you say "groceries 400" and "spend 62 on groceries", and the report tells you what remains. It is the fastest possible loop between "can I afford this?" and an answer.

What it does

• budget_set — set a monthly cap for a category (groceries, transport, eating out — any name you use).
• budget_spend — record an amount against a category; the server rejects nothing and judges nothing, it just does the arithmetic.
• budget_report — one table: category, cap, spent, remaining. Over-budget categories are visible at a glance.
