📦 Installation

npm install monarchmoney

🏃 Quick Start

Standard Usage

import { MonarchClient } from 'monarchmoney'

const client = new MonarchClient({
  baseURL: 'https://api.monarchmoney.com',
  timeout: 30000
})

// Login with credentials and MFA
await client.login({
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'your-password',
  mfaSecretKey: 'your-mfa-secret' // Optional TOTP secret
})

// Get accounts with different verbosity levels
const accounts = await client.accounts.getAll({ verbosity: 'light' })
const transactions = await client.transactions.getTransactions({
  limit: 10,
  verbosity: 'ultra-light'
})

AI Assistant Integration

import { MonarchClient, ResponseFormatter } from 'monarchmoney'

const client = new MonarchClient(/* config */)
await client.login(/* credentials */)

// Get ultra-compact responses perfect for AI context
const accounts = await client.accounts.getAll({ verbosity: 'ultra-light' })
// Returns: "💰 12 accounts, Total: $145,678"

// Or format existing data for AI consumption
const formatted = ResponseFormatter.formatAccounts(rawAccounts, 'ultra-light')
const quickStats = ResponseFormatter.formatQuickStats(accounts, recentTransactions)
// Returns: "💰 $52,345 • ⬇️ -$3,200 • 📊 14 accounts"

🎯 Context Optimization Features

Verbosity Levels

Control response detail to optimize AI context usage:

| Level | Use Case | Characters/Item | Example | |-------|----------|-----------------|---------| | ultra-light | Quick overviews | ~60 chars | 💰 5 accounts, Total: $23,456 | | light | Moderate detail | ~180 chars | Account names + balances + institutions | | standard | Full analysis | ~800 chars | Complete account details + metadata |

Smart Query Selection

import { getQueryForVerbosity } from 'monarchmoney'

// Automatically select optimal GraphQL query
const query = getQueryForVerbosity('accounts', 'ultra-light')
// Returns optimized query with minimal fields

Response Formatters

import { ResponseFormatter } from 'monarchmoney'

// Ultra-compact account summary
const summary = ResponseFormatter.formatAccounts(accounts, 'ultra-light')
// "💰 12 accounts, Total: $145,678"

// Quick financial overview
const overview = ResponseFormatter.formatQuickStats(accounts, transactions)
// "💰 $52,345 • ⬇️ -$3,200 • 📊 14 accounts"

// Spending by category
const spending = ResponseFormatter.formatSpendingSummary(transactions, 5)
// "🍽️ $450 • ⛽ $280 • 🛒 $380 (top 3 this month)"

⚙️ Configuration

Client Configuration

const client = new MonarchClient({
  baseURL: 'https://api.monarchmoney.com',
  timeout: 30000,
  retries: 3,
  retryDelay: 1000,
  rateLimit: {
    requestsPerSecond: 10,
    burstSize: 20
  },
  cache: {
    enabled: true,
    ttl: 300000, // 5 minutes
    maxSize: 1000
  }
})

Authentication Options

// Basic login
await client.login({
  email: '[email protected]',
  password: 'your-password'
})

await client.interactiveLogin()

🎨 MCP Integration Example

Perfect for Claude Desktop and other Model Context Protocol integrations:

// MCP Tool Implementation
async function getAccountsSummary(verbosity = 'ultra-light') {
  const accounts = await client.accounts.getAll({ verbosity })

  // Returns context-optimized response:
  // "💰 12 accounts, Total: $145,678"
  return accounts
}

async function smartTransactionSearch(query: string) {
  const result = await client.transactions.smartQuery({ query })

  // Natural language to optimized GraphQL:
  // "last 3 Amazon charges" → targeted GraphQL query
  return ResponseFormatter.formatTransactions(result.transactions, 'light', query)
}
