How to connect About FamilyJar

Works with any client that supports remote MCP (Streamable HTTP + OAuth).

What your assistant can do

A thin, read-only-by-default bridge to the budget you already keep in FamilyJar.

Log expenses by talking

“I spent 45 on groceries.” The assistant adds it to the right category — after you confirm.

Ask about your budget

How’s my food budget this month? What bills are due in May? Where did the money go?

Savings & debt insights

Check goal progress and model what an extra payment does to a loan — in plain language.

Read-only by default

A read token can’t change anything. Writing is a separate, explicit permission you grant.

Beta

The assistant proposes; you confirm. Always review what it adds before it’s saved, and sign in with your own FamilyJar account.

How to connect

Point your assistant at the server below. On first connect a browser window opens — sign in with your FamilyJar account and choose what the assistant may do.

Claude Code

Run this, then /mcp to sign in:
