At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Primitiv
Finance & Fintech · Local stdio
Quality: 64/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Monobank
Finance & Fintech · Local stdio
Quality: 64/100 (Good) | Auth: API Key required
Verdict Summary: Choose Primitiv if you need specialized Finance & Fintech tools running via a local process. Choose Monobank if your workspace requires Finance & Fintech integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Primitiv when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Finance & Fintech domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Get tokens, components, conflicts, inferred rules, and violation count. Default (no category) returns a summary with counts. Pass `category: "all" \
get_token
Look up a specific token by name. Pass `category` to narrow search (e.g. `"colors"`, `"spacing"`, `"borderRadius"`); aliases like `"radius"` / `"z-index"` are normalized.
get_component
Look up a specific component by name. Returns props, variants, source provenance, and `kind` — `component`, `screen`, `provider`, `icon`, or `other`, so agents reuse real UI and skip screens/providers/icons.
get_conflicts
Get conflicts between sources. Pass `type: "all" \
get_inferred_rules
Get the design rules Primitiv has extracted from your codebase patterns. Pass `category` to filter.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Primitiv is categorized under Finance & Fintech and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Monobank belongs to Finance & Fintech using local stdio subprocess. Select Primitiv when you need capabilities focused on finance & fintech and Monobank when you require tools for finance & fintech.
List token-misuse violations — hardcoded literals in source that bypass the contract, with a suggested token when one fits. Pass `category: "all" \
Monobank Tools (3)
get_currency_rates
Get the list of currency exchange rates from Monobank. This is a public endpoint and does not require an API token. Monobank permits only one request per 5 minutes, so the response is cached in memory for 5 minutes: calls made within that window return the cached rates instead of failing with a rate-limit error.
get_client_info
Get information about the client together with the list of their accounts and jars. Requires the MONOBANK_API_TOKEN environment variable. Monobank permits only one request per 60 seconds, so the response is cached in memory for 60 seconds: calls made within that window return the cached data instead of failing with a rate-limit error. All monetary amounts are returned in currency units, not in cents. The account and jar identifiers returned by this tool can be passed to get_statement.
get_statement
Get the Monobank statement for an account or jar between the {from} and {to} dates. Requires the MONOBANK_API_TOKEN environment variable. The maximum period for which a statement can be obtained is 31 days + 1 hour (2682000 seconds). Monobank permits only one request per 60 seconds, so every distinct account/date-range request is cached in memory for 60 seconds: repeating the same request within that window returns the cached statement instead of failing with a rate-limit error. All monetary amounts are returned in currency units, not in cents.
Design contract layer for your codebase. Scans Figma, code, Storybook, and token files, reconciles conflicts, and serves a single machine-readable source of truth over MCP so every agent gets the same authoritative design rules before it builds. Local-first — your code never leaves your machine.
