MCP-first access to your Lunch Money data

GitHub GitHub License CI Status docs

lunchmoney-app is first and foremost an MCP server for using your Lunch Money data from an MCP-enabled assistant. It also runs as a standalone application with a RESTful API and database backend that keeps itself in sync with all of your Lunch Money data.

Quickstart

Use Lunch Money from your favorite MCP-enabled assistant in a few minutes.

  1. Create or copy your Lunch Money access token.
  2. Add the configuration below to your MCP client's server settings.
  3. Replace your-lunch-money-token, restart the client, and start chatting.

Your MCP client starts and manages Lunch Money MCP for you; do not run a separate server command.

    "mcpServers": {
        "lunchmoney": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": ["lunchmoney-app", "mcp"],
            "env": {
                "LUNCHMONEY_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-lunch-money-token"
            }
        }
    }
}

Try asking:

  • “How much did I spend on dining this month?”
  • “Show my largest recent transactions.”
  • “Which transactions still need a category?”
Install in Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or Claude Desktop

Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI use the published package through uvx; install uv first. Claude Desktop manages the MCPB runtime itself. Provide your Lunch Money access token through LUNCHMONEY_ACCESS_TOKEN unless the client prompts for it.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
