Connect an AI assistant

Abofence speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Point a client at your account by signing in (easiest, for Claude and ChatGPT), or with an access token if your tool takes a header.

1. Sign in (Claude, ChatGPT)

Claude and ChatGPT support remote connectors that sign in for you — no token to copy.

Claude

Customize → Connectors → Add → Add custom connector. Name it “Abofence”, set the URL to https://abofence.com/mcp, leave Authentication on Sign in, then continue. Claude opens an Abofence page — sign in and click Allow.

ChatGPT

Add a custom connector with the URL https://abofence.com/mcp and sign in when prompted. (In the API, pass an access token — see below.)

Signing in grants read & write access so the assistant can also add or update subscriptions. Manage or revoke it under Settings → AI assistants → Connected apps.

2. Access tokens (header-based clients)

Clients that authenticate with a bearer header (Cursor, opencode, Claude Desktop via a bridge) use a token instead.

Open Settings → AI assistants and create one. Choose Read only to let the assistant look at your subscriptions, or Read & write to also let it add, edit, or cancel them. Copy the token when it is shown — it is not stored in plain text and cannot be displayed again.

URL:    https://abofence.com/mcp
Header: Authorization: Bearer abf_…

Treat the token like a password. You can revoke it at any time under Settings → AI assistants; the client stops working immediately.

3. Client setup

opencode

Add to opencode.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "mcp": {
    "abofence": {
      "type": "remote",
      "url": "https://abofence.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer abf_your_token" },
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or the project's .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "abofence": {
      "url": "https://abofence.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer abf_your_token" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (stdio bridge)

Claude Desktop can also reach the remote server through the community bridge mcp-remote. Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "abofence": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",
        "https://abofence.com/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer abf_your_token"
      ]
    }
  }
}

4. What the assistant can do

With read access it can list expenses and categories, fetch upcoming charges, show totals (with a per-category breakdown), read the expenses/upcoming resources, and use the “monthly review” prompt. With read & write it can also create, update, cancel, restore and delete expenses, and set or dismiss reminders.
