The local server from zero: Python, Claude Desktop, the server file and your key.
How It Works
MCP (the Model Context Protocol) is how AI apps like Claude use outside tools. Maple Budget hosts an MCP server at https://api.maplebudget.com/mcp. Your AI app connects to it, sends you to Maple Budget to sign in, and gets a connection limited to what you allowed: read only, or read and make changes.
Connections refresh themselves, so you sign in once. Disconnect any app from Menu → AI Apps in the web app.
Local Server
You can also run the same tools on your own computer: a single Python file that talks to the Maple Budget API with a personal API key. It updates itself when new tools ship.
