Hi all,

In the LLM world, everyone seems building MCP servers right now. These enable LLMs (such as Claude) to connect directly to external tools or APIs.

I wrote an experimental MCP server for beanquery over the weekend as a demo and Claude seems to be able to do BQL quite well.


Screenshot from a simple conversation: https://github.com/vanto/beanquery-mcp/blob/main/docs/screenshot-expanded.png

This is certainly only a PoC, and you should be careful which data you want to share with which LLM.

Maybe someone here will find it interesting.

Best,
  Tammo

We live in wild times
I love it
I've added an "AI" section to the contrib document with a link to your project

I've had an idea recently: 
- take your document cache
- extract (account or directory, date, text-conversion-of-pdf document)
- use a pretrained embedding model to train a classifier from (text -> date) and (text, directory or account)
- automatically move a new list of pdfs from ~/Downloads/ to the directory hierarchy
Basically "store these documents where other ones like it are located"
My next session of vibecoding awaits...
