Unified banking MCP server with **15 tools** across **3 backends** — Plaid (US/Canada/EU), Mono (Africa), and Open Banking (UK/EU PSD2). Accounts, transactions, balances, payments, identity, and statements.

## Architecture

<p align="center">
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zavora-ai/mcp-banking/main/docs/assets/architecture.svg" alt="MCP Banking Architecture" width="800"/>
</p>

## Key Principles

- **Unified schema** — agents see consistent types regardless of backend
- **Multi-region** — Plaid (US/Canada/EU), Mono (NG/KE/GH/ZA), Open Banking (UK/EU)
- **Financial governance** — payment initiation requires approval gates
- **No credential exposure** — tokens stay in env vars
- **Single binary** — no Node.js, no Python

## Tools (15)

| Category | Tools | Risk |
|----------|-------|------|
| Accounts | `list_accounts`, `get_account`, `get_balances` | read_only |
| Transactions | `list_transactions`, `get_transaction`, `search_transactions`, `categorize_transaction`, `sync_transactions` | read_only |
| Identity | `get_identity` | read_only |
| Institutions | `list_institutions`, `get_institution` | read_only |
| Payments | `initiate_payment`, `get_payment_status`, `list_payments` | financial_action / read_only |
| Statements | `get_statement` | read_only |

## Backends

| Backend | Region | Protocol | Auth | Default |
|---------|--------|----------|------|:---:|
| **Plaid** | US, Canada, EU | REST | Client ID + Secret ||
| **Mono** | Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, SA | REST | Secret Key ||
| **Open Banking** | UK, EU (PSD2) | REST (OBP) | OAuth2 Bearer ||

## Installation

```bash
cargo install mcp-banking --features all-backends
```

### Feature flags

```bash

cargo install mcp-banking

# All backends
cargo install mcp-banking --features all-backends

# Specific
cargo install mcp-banking --no-default-features --features plaid
```

## Configuration

### Plaid

```bash
export PLAID_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export PLAID_SECRET="your-secret"
export PLAID_ACCESS_TOKEN="access-sandbox-xxx"
export PLAID_ENV="sandbox"  # sandbox | development | production
```

### Mono (Africa)

```bash
export MONO_SECRET_KEY="live_sk_xxx"
export MONO_ACCOUNT_ID="account-id-from-connect"
```

### Open Banking (UK/EU)

```bash
export OB_BASE_URL="https://api.yourbank.com/open-banking/v3.1"
export OB_TOKEN="your-oauth-token"

## Client Configuration

### Claude Desktop / Kiro / Cursor

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "banking": {
      "command": "mcp-banking",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "PLAID_CLIENT_ID": "xxx",
        "PLAID_SECRET": "xxx",
        "PLAID_ACCESS_TOKEN": "access-sandbox-xxx",
        "PLAID_ENV": "sandbox"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Usage Examples

```
"Show me all my bank accounts"

"What's my current balance?"

"Show transactions from last month"
→ list_transactions(account_id: "acc-1", from: "2026-04-01", to: "2026-04-30")

"Search for Uber transactions"
→ search_transactions(query: "uber")

"Initiate a payment of $500 to vendor"
→ initiate_payment(account_id: "acc-1", amount: 500, currency: "USD", recipient: "vendor-id", reference: "Invoice 123")

"What's the status of my payment?"
