What the code does

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Claims read-only, but the code runs commands build.js:50

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Lunch Money MCP (Unofficial) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Lunch Money MCP (Unofficial)?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Lunch Money MCP (Unofficial) working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 303 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Lunch Money MCP (Unofficial)?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to Lunch Money MCP (Unofficial)?
No API key is involved. Lunch Money MCP (Unofficial) answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is Lunch Money MCP (Unofficial)?
It answers our handshake in 303 ms on average, which is faster than 47% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Lunch Money MCP (Unofficial) open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 14 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.lunchmoney.sh, which runs on its operator's own terms.
