Manilo MCP Server

Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Manilo (formerly Ledgy) — a multi-currency expense tracker where you talk to your money. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client and log, query, and edit your expenses, budgets, and accounts in plain English.

[!NOTE] Manilo MCP is a hosted service — there is nothing to install or self-host. This repository is its public documentation. Full setup guide: manilo.app/integrations.
