What is the Kualia MCP server?

Kualia exposes a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Perplexity can read your budget data and help you reason about your finances — directly, with your permission, and without copy-pasting. Server URL
https://api.kualia.com/mcp
That single URL is everything you need. Paste it into any MCP-compatible client and the rest of the setup is automatic.

What can the AI do?

Once connected, the assistant can call these tools on your behalf:
ToolWhat it does
list_workspacesList the workspaces you have access to
list_transactionsSearch and filter your transactions
list_recurring_transactionsList your recurring transactions
list_category_groupsList your envelope category groups
list_category_targetsList your category targets
get_envelope_month_statusSee assigned, activity, and available for a month
get_category_rollupRoll up spending by category
get_spending_reportGenerate a spending report
get_income_summarySummarize income for a period
get_account_balances_reportReport balances across accounts
set_category_assigned_amountAssign money to a category
The AI can only see and do what your account can. Permissions are scoped per workspace.

How authentication works

You never paste an API key. The connection uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, all driven by the MCP spec:
  1. The client connects to https://api.kualia.com/mcp.
  2. Kualia responds with a WWW-Authenticate header pointing to its OAuth metadata.
  3. The client opens the Kualia app in your browser to ask for consent.
  4. You approve, and the client receives a token scoped to your account.
  5. The token is stored locally by the client and used for all future calls.
The first time you connect, you’ll see a Connect or Authorize button — clicking it opens app.kualia.com where you grant access.

  • Kualia only returns data for workspaces your account has access to.
  • Tokens are stored by the client (e.g. on your laptop), not by the assistant provider.
  • To disconnect, remove the connector from your AI client’s settings.
