Bank statement MCP server

Give Claude or your own agent a tool that reads bank statements into JSON and says whether the figures add up.

Figures an agent can check

Hand a model a bank statement PDF and it will read it, and when a row is faint or a column wraps it will fill the gap with a plausible number. An agent doing bookkeeping, underwriting or a client's tax return needs the rows as data and a way to tell when they are wrong.

The MCP server gives it both. parse_statement returns the same document the REST API does, with verification saying whether the rows reconcile with the printed balances. get_document and list_documents let it return to earlier reads, and create_collection lets it send someone a link to upload what is missing. It speaks Streamable HTTP and takes your API key as a bearer token.

Four tools

Enough for an agent to read, find and ask for statements.

parse_statement

Read a statement from an https file_url or file_base64 with a filename, with an optional password.

get_document

Fetch a document by id, in any status.

list_documents

Page through recent documents, newest first.

create_collection

Create an upload link for someone to send statements to.

Same price

A tool call costs what a POST would: $0.08 a page, failures free.
