MCP support
Exposes 17 tools to MCP clients for Wise accounts, balances, recipients, quotes, and transfers. An API token is used for authentication; transfer funding moves money.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

Optional if configured via the configure_wise tool.WISE_ENVIRONMENTWise environment: "production" (default) or "sandbox".WISE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MSOutbound request timeout in milliseconds (default 30000).Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Sandbox requires a token created in the Wise sandbox.WISE_CONFIG_PATH— path to the config directory that stores the token written byconfigure_wise(defaults to~/.mcp/wise).WISE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS— outbound request timeout in milliseconds (default30000).MCP_HOST_BRIDGE_STATE— optional path to a host bridge state file used for credential management.MINDSTONE_REBEL_BRIDGE_STATE— backwards-compatible alias forMCP_HOST_BRIDGE_STATE.

Typical payout flow

Security
- Money movement runs by default.
create_wise_transfer,fund_wise_transfer, andcancel_wise_transferare always available and declaredestructiveHint: true— gating of individual invocations is the host's tool-approval layer's job, not the connector's. Quote and recipient creation never move money; onlyfund_wise_transferdebits a balance. - Untrusted-content envelopes. Strings authored by external parties (recipient names and bank details, transfer references, statement descriptions and merchant names, activity titles, quote notices) are wrapped in
<untrusted-content source="…">envelopes so the host LLM treats them as data, not instructions. Connector-controlled metadata (ids, amounts, currencies, statuses, timestamps) is returned raw. - Credential storage. Tokens written by
configure_wiseare stored incredentials.jsonunderWISE_CONFIG_PATHwith0600permissions (config directory0700). Only the two fixed Wise hosts (api.wise.com,api.wise-sandbox.com) are ever contacted — there is no arbitrary base-URL override. - Error hygiene. Vendor error bodies, raw
Retry-Afterheader text, and query-bearing URLs are never written to logs or surfaced in tool errors; tokens never appear in error messages. - Idempotent transfer creation.
create_wise_transferusescustomer_transaction_idas the Wise idempotency key, so a retry never creates a duplicate transfer. - Input validation. Currency codes, numeric ids, UUIDs, and date-time windows are validated before any request is made.

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.
