+**43 tools. 100% API coverage. Zero configuration.**
+
+Connect any MCP-compatible AI assistant — Claude, GPT, or your own agents — to your YNAB budget. Read transactions, categorize spending, manage accounts, review scheduled payments, track money movements, and more. All monetary values are automatically converted between dollars and YNAB's internal milliunits format so the AI never has to think about it.
+
+Built on the [official YNAB JavaScript SDK](https://github.com/ynab/ynab-sdk-js) with direct API calls for the newest endpoints (category creation, category groups, money movements) that the SDK hasn't caught up with yet.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Get a YNAB Personal Access Token
+
+Go to [YNAB Developer Settings](https://app.ynab.com/settings/developer) and create a new personal access token.
+
+### 2. Configure your MCP client
+
+**Claude Desktop** (`claude_desktop_config.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "ynab": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@oliverames/ynab-mcp-server"],
+      "env": {
+        "YNAB_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Claude Code** (`.mcp.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "ynab": {
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@oliverames/ynab-mcp-server"],
+      "env": {
+        "YNAB_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or install globally and point to the binary directly:
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @oliverames/ynab-mcp-server
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "ynab": {
+      "command": "ynab-mcp-server",
+      "env": {
+        "YNAB_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here",
+        "YNAB_BUDGET_ID": "optional-default-budget-id"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+That's it. Your AI can now talk to YNAB.

+
+## What You Can Do
+
+| Ask your AI... | What happens under the hood |
+|---|---|
+| "How much did I spend on groceries this month?" | `search_categories` → `get_month_category` |
+| "Show me all unapproved transactions" | `review_unapproved` groups by readiness |
+| "Log a $50 Costco trip under groceries" | `search_payees` → `search_categories` → `create_transaction` |
+| "Set up monthly $1,500 rent on the 1st" | `create_scheduled_transaction` with `monthly` frequency |
+| "Move $200 from emergency fund to dining" | `search_categories` → `update_month_category` (x2) |
+| "Categorize all my Amazon orders from this week" | `get_transactions` (filtered) → `update_transactions` (batch) |
+| "Create a 'Side Projects' spending category" | `search_categories` (find group) → `create_category` |
+| "How has my budget been re-allocated this month?" | `get_money_movements_by_month` |
+| "What recurring payments do I have?" | `list_scheduled_transactions` |
+| "Import my latest bank transactions" | `import_transactions` triggers linked account sync |
+

+
+## Features
+
+**Complete YNAB API v1.79 coverage** with 43 tools:
+
+| Resource | Tools | Capabilities |
+|----------|-------|-------------|
+| **Budgets** | 4 | List, view details, settings |
+| **Accounts** | 3 | List, view, create |
+| **Categories** | 9 | Full CRUD, groups, search, goals, monthly budgets |
+| **Payees** | 4 | List, view, rename, search |
+| **Payee Locations** | 3 | GPS coordinates for mobile transactions |
+| **Months** | 2 | Monthly summaries with per-category breakdown |
+| **Money Movements** | 4 | Budget re-allocation tracking |
+| **Transactions** | 8 | Full CRUD, bulk ops, split transactions, multi-filter |
+| **Scheduled Transactions** | 5 | Full CRUD for recurring transactions |
+| **Convenience** | 1 | Unapproved transaction review workflow |
+
+### Design Decisions
+
+- **Dollar amounts everywhere** — inputs and outputs are in dollars (`-12.34`), never milliunits (`-12340`). Conversion is automatic and transparent.
+- **Smart budget resolution** — set `YNAB_BUDGET_ID` for a default, or omit it to auto-resolve to your last-used budget. Every tool accepts an optional `budgetId` override.
+- **Split transactions** — first-class support for subtransactions in create, read, and format operations.
+- **Bulk operations** — `create_transactions` and `update_transactions` handle arrays in a single API call.
+- **Fetch-then-merge updates** — scheduled transaction updates (which use PUT semantics) automatically fetch the current state and merge your changes, so you only specify what changed.
+- **Fuzzy search** — `search_categories` and `search_payees` do case-insensitive partial matching across all entries.
+- **Approval workflow** — `review_unapproved` groups transactions into "ready to approve" (has category) and "needs attention" (uncategorized), with a built-in warning against approving uncategorized entries.

+---
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `YNAB_API_TOKEN` | Yes | [Personal access token](https://app.ynab.com/settings/developer) from YNAB Developer Settings |
+| `YNAB_BUDGET_ID` | No | Default budget ID. If omitted, uses `"last-used"` (your most recently accessed budget). Run `list_budgets` to find IDs. |
+
+---
+
+## Amount Handling
+
+All amounts in tool inputs and outputs are in **dollars** (e.g., `-12.34` for a $12.34 outflow). The server converts to/from YNAB's internal milliunits format automatically.
+
+| Direction | Sign | Example |
+|-----------|------|---------|
+| Outflow (spending) | Negative | `-50.00` |
+| Inflow (income) | Positive | `2500.00` |
+| Transfer out | Negative | `-1000.00` |
+| Transfer in | Positive | `1000.00` |
+
+---
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+The YNAB API allows **200 requests per hour** per access token, enforced on a rolling window. Each tool call typically uses one API request (except `update_scheduled_transaction` which uses two — a GET to fetch current state, then a PUT to merge changes). The server surfaces rate limit errors as standard MCP error responses.
+

+│  AI Assistant       │────▶│  YNAB MCP Server │────▶│  YNAB API    │

+```
+
+- **Transport:** stdio (standard MCP server pattern)
+- **Auth:** Bearer token via `YNAB_API_TOKEN` environment variable
+- **SDK:** Official [`ynab`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ynab) v2.5+ for core endpoints, direct `fetch` for newer API features
+- **Validation:** All parameters validated with [Zod](https://zod.dev) schemas
+- **Error handling:** API errors are caught, formatted, and returned as MCP error responses with detail messages
+
+---
+
+## Testing
+
+The test suite (43 tests) runs against a live YNAB budget. It creates test data and cleans up after itself:
+
+```bash
+YNAB_API_TOKEN=your-token YNAB_BUDGET_ID=your-budget-id npm test
+```
+
+Tests cover all tool categories: reads, writes, bulk operations, search, split transactions, scheduled transaction CRUD with fetch-then-merge verification, category/group creation, money movements, and payee locations.
+
+---
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/oliverames/ynab-mcp-server.git
+cd ynab-mcp-server
+npm install
+YNAB_API_TOKEN=your-token npm start
+```
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- [`@modelcontextprotocol/sdk`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@modelcontextprotocol/sdk) — MCP server framework
+- [`ynab`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ynab) — Official YNAB JavaScript client
+
+Zero additional dependencies. No build step. Pure ESM.
