README

ynab-mcp-server

Connect YNAB to ChatGPT or Claude with a hosted MCP server.

Use this if you want your AI assistant to read your YNAB plans, accounts, categories, payees, and transactions after you sign in with your own YNAB account.

What You Need

a YNAB account
the hosted MCP URL: https://mcpforynab.smirnovlabs.com/mcp
ChatGPT or Claude with support for custom MCP connectors

Quick Start

Get your hosted MCP URL.
Add that URL in ChatGPT or Claude.
Click Connect.
Sign in with YNAB when prompted.
Return to your chat and start asking YNAB questions.

Set Up in ChatGPT

These steps are for the ChatGPT web app.

As of March 25, 2026, OpenAI requires developer mode for custom MCP connectors.

Before you start

You need a ChatGPT plan that supports custom MCP connectors.
If you are on a workspace plan, your admin may need to enable developer mode first.
You need this hosted MCP URL: https://mcpforynab.smirnovlabs.com/mcp.

Step-by-step

Open chatgpt.com.
Open Settings.
Enable developer mode if it is not already enabled.
Go to Apps or Connectors and choose to create a custom app or connector.
Paste your hosted MCP URL.
Choose OAuth if ChatGPT asks for an authentication method.
Save or create the connector.
Start a new chat.
Open the tools menu and enable the new connector.
When redirected, sign in with YNAB and approve access.
Return to ChatGPT and send a test prompt.

Good first prompts

Show me the balances of all my plan accounts.
List my plan categories with available amounts.
Find my most recent grocery transactions.
What were my largest spending categories last month?

Set Up in Claude

These steps are for claude.ai.

As of March 25, 2026, Anthropic supports remote MCP connectors in the Connectors settings.

Before you start

You need a Claude plan that supports remote MCP connectors.
You need this hosted MCP URL: https://mcpforynab.smirnovlabs.com/mcp.
If you are on Claude Team or Enterprise, your workspace owner may need to add the connector first.

Step-by-step for Claude Pro or Max

Open claude.ai.
Open Settings.
Open Connectors.
Click Add custom connector.
Paste your hosted MCP URL.
Save the connector.
Click Connect.
When redirected, sign in with YNAB and approve access.
Start a new chat.
Use the + menu to enable the connector for that conversation.
Send a test prompt.

Step-by-step for Claude Team or Enterprise

Ask your workspace owner to open Organization settings -> Connectors.
Have them add the custom connector using your hosted MCP URL.
After that is done, open your own Claude settings.
Go to Connectors.
Find the new custom connector.
Click Connect.
When redirected, sign in with YNAB and approve access.
Start a new chat.
Use the + menu to enable the connector for that conversation.
Send a test prompt.

Good first prompts

Show me my current account balances in YNAB.
What categories are overspent right now?
Find transactions from Amazon in the last 30 days.
Summarize my spending by category this month.

What Happens When You Connect

ChatGPT or Claude connects to the hosted MCP URL.
The MCP server sends you to YNAB sign-in.
You approve access to your YNAB account.
The service stores the OAuth tokens needed to make future YNAB requests on your behalf.
Your assistant can then use YNAB tools and resources in chat.

If you are on a workspace plan, confirm your admin enabled the required settings.

The connector does not appear in Claude
