What is the OFX Bank Statement Parser MCP Server?
Nobody wants to upload their raw bank statement to a public cloud AI. But building a budget or calculating expenses manually is tedious. Furthermore, OFX and QFX files use an archaic SGML structure that completely confuses LLMs if they try to read the raw text directly.
This MCP acts as a secure, local financial bridge. It parses your bank's export file completely local, extracting only the clean transactional data (Date, Amount, Description, and Type) into a structured JSON array. The AI never sees the raw file, only the organized numbers, enabling it to act as your absolute best financial advisor.
The Superpowers
- 100% Air-Gapped Privacy: Your financial data is parsed locally on your machine. Zero cloud uploads.
- Zero Hallucination: The AI doesn't have to guess where a transaction begins and ends.
- Universal Bank Support: Works perfectly with any standard OFX or QFX file exported from global banks.
- Accountant Ready: Ask the AI: 'How much did I spend on Uber last month according to this file?'
Built-in capabilities (1)
Provide the absolute file path. Parse an OFX or QFX bank statement file into clean JSON data. Extracts transactions safely and offline

Frequently asked questions
Are my bank statements uploaded to Anthropic or OpenAI?
Absolutely not. The parsing engine runs entirely on your local machine. It extracts the raw numbers and feeds them securely to the AI chat context window only during the session.
What exact data is extracted from the OFX?
It extracts the bank ID, account ID, currency, and the full array of statement transactions including TRNTYPE, DTPOSTED, TRNAMT, FITID, NAME, and MEMO.
Can it process QFX files from Quicken?
Yes! QFX is essentially the exact same structure as OFX. This engine reads both seamlessly.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
