## Description
Read-only live access to Australian bank (CDR/open banking) and global brokerage data for AI agents.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "redbark": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","redbark"]
  }
}
```

Redbark syncs bank and brokerage accounts to Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, YNAB, and webhooks. The Redbark MCP server gives MCP-compatible AI agents — Claude, Cline, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, and others — secure, read-only access to the same live financial data.

Australian banking data is sourced through the regulated **Consumer Data Right (CDR / open banking)** framework. Your banking credentials are never shared with Redbark or your AI agent, and Redbark never stores your banking data — every request is proxied live from the source.

## Quickstart

The server is **remote and hosted** — there is nothing to install or run.

```
https://mcp.redbark.com/mcp
```

- **Transport:** Streamable HTTP
- **Auth:** OAuth 2.1 (automatic — your client opens a browser consent flow), or a personal API key as a fallback
- **Requirements:** a Redbark account on a Developer or Professional plan (API access is included in the free trial)

### Cline

Add to `cline_mcp_settings.json` (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redbark": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.redbark.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cline discovers the OAuth authorization server automatically and opens a browser window to approve access. To use an API key instead (created at [app.redbark.com](https://app.redbark.com) → Settings → API Keys):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redbark": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://mcp.redbark.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer rbk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http redbark https://mcp.redbark.com/mcp
```

### Claude (desktop / web)

Settings → Connectors → **Add custom connector** → paste `https://mcp.redbark.com/mcp`.

### Cursor

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "redbark": {
      "url": "https://mcp.redbark.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

## Tools

All tools are **read-only**. The server cannot move money, modify accounts, or change your Redbark configuration.

| Tool | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `list_connections` | List your connected bank and brokerage institutions |
| `list_accounts` | List accounts across connections (paged) |
| `list_balances` | Live balances for up to 20 accounts at once |
| `list_transactions` | Live transactions for a connection (paged, default 30-day window) |
| `list_holdings` | Brokerage holdings (Professional plan) |
| `list_trades` | Brokerage trade history, up to a 366-day window (Professional plan) |

Example prompts once connected:

> "What did I spend on groceries across all my accounts last month?"
> "What's my total cash balance right now?"
> "Show my share purchases this financial year and summarise them in a table."

## Authentication & scopes

**OAuth (recommended).** The server implements the standard MCP authorization flow (OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration and PKCE). Clients that support MCP OAuth need only the server URL — registration, browser consent, and token refresh are automatic. Granted scopes:

| Scope | Grants |
| --- | --- |
| `mcp:read` | Banking tools (always granted) |
| `brokerage:read` | Brokerage tools (optional, Professional plan) |

You can review and revoke any connected agent at any time from **Connected Apps** in your [Redbark settings](https://app.redbark.com).

**API key (fallback).** For clients without OAuth support, create a key at app.redbark.com → Settings → API Keys and send it as `Authorization: Bearer rbk_live_...`.

## Security

- **No stored banking data.** Redbark proxies data live from providers at request time; customer banking data is never persisted to Redbark's database.
- **Regulated data access.** Australian bank connections run on the CDR (open banking) framework — credentials go to your bank, never to Redbark or your agent.
- **Read-only by design.** No tool can initiate payments or mutate accounts.
- **Scoped, revocable access.** OAuth tokens carry only the scopes you consent to and can be revoked in one click.
- Requests are rate-limited pre- and post-authentication, and every request is auditable.

## Pricing

MCP access requires a [Developer or Professional plan](https://redbark.com/pricing) and is included in the free trial. Brokerage tools (`list_holdings`, `list_trades`) require Professional.
