// key findings
✅
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
✅
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
🔐
You'll be asked for 1 credential: YNAB_ACCESS_TOKEN
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.
🔐 secretYNAB_ACCESS_TOKENEnvironment variable or secret = your YNAB Personal Access Token
configYNAB_ENABLE_WRITES3. Applying it additionally requires =true, a fresh single-use token, and an unchanged YNAB state.
