This one needs environment variables set before it will start: YNAB_ACCESS_TOKEN (YNAB Personal Access Token (app.ynab.com → Developer Settings)), YNAB_ALLOW_WRITES (Set to 1 to enable write tools (off = read-only)). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP For Ynab — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP For Ynab?

MCP For Ynab runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @walensis/mcp-for-ynab.

How do I connect MCP For Ynab?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @walensis/mcp-for-ynab straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is MCP For Ynab open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
