## What it does

BankBridge links assistants to financial institutions via a remote HTTP endpoint at `https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp`. All access is strictly read-only, which prevents any automated transfers or fund withdrawals. The platform works exclusively with US banks.

Authentication relies on an OAuth 2.1 browser flow or a persistent dashboard bearer token. In environments like Claude Code, the setup provides 19 pre-built prompts and slash commands. These include quick balance summaries via `/balances`, weekly spending checkups via `/weekly-review`, and multi-month expense breakdowns.

Live bank syncing costs $5 per month or $50 annually per linked institution. Without a paid subscription or linked account, the server functions only in sandbox mode using mock records.
