Plaid bank connections

Connect supported banks through Plaid and choose which accounts to add. You can link Plaid to an account you already use, so the connection reuses your existing ledger instead of creating a duplicate account.

Tracking (off-budget) accounts

Track assets and liabilities that belong in net worth without letting their activity alter envelope balances. Tracking-account transactions never ask to be budgeted and don't block inbox cleanup.

OAuth sign-in for MCP clients

Connect an AI assistant with OAuth 2.1 browser sign-in and dynamic client registration instead of a static API key. Choose budgets, keep access read-only by default, approve optional permissions explicitly, and revoke a connection at any time.

Repeating transactions

Bills, paychecks, and transfers that repeat weekly, every N weeks, monthly, twice a month, or yearly. Each occurrence shows on the calendar ahead of time, lands in the register as a pending transaction a few days before it is due, and is taken over by the matching bank import.

EnvelopeBudget MCP v1.2

Connect compatible AI assistants through an official Registry-listed remote MCP server.
