Connect BankSync to Tabnine
Connect BankSync MCP server to Tabnine for AI code completion with real bank data context through Tabnine's enterprise AI assistant.
Prerequisites
- A BankSync account with at least one connected bank
- An API key with all permission scopes (created from Workspace → Developers)
Configuration
Add the BankSync server to your Tabnine MCP configuration, replacing the placeholder with your API key:
MCP config (JSON)
{"mcpServers": {"banksync": {"url": "https://mcp.banksync.io","requestInit": {"headers": {"X-API-Key": "bsk_your_api_key_here"}}}}}
Where it goes: ~/.tabnine/mcp_servers.json (global) · .tabnine/mcp_servers.json (project root)
Tip. Tabnine uses requestInit.headers (following the Fetch API RequestInit shape) rather than a top-level headers field. Using "headers": {...} at the top level will not work. Authentication headers (X-API-Key) must be nested under requestInit.headers.
Server URL. BankSync’s MCP server is at
https://mcp.banksync.io over Streamable HTTP, authenticated with your X-API-Key. If Tabnine can’t reach a remote server, use the local bridge npx -y @banksync/mcp with BANKSYNC_API_KEY set.Verify your connection
Restart your client and try these prompts to confirm the connection works:
“List my workspaces”
“What banks do I have connected?”
“What’s my checking account balance?”
Troubleshooting
“No tools available” or the MCP server is not listed
- Make sure you restarted your AI client after editing the config file.
- Verify the JSON/YAML is valid (no trailing commas, correct brackets).
- Check the URL is exactly
https://mcp.banksync.io.
“Authentication failed” or “Invalid API key”
- Confirm the key starts with
bsk_and has not been revoked. - Ensure the key is passed in the
X-API-Keyheader. - Check for stray whitespace or newlines around the key value.
Connection timeout or the client lacks remote HTTP support
- The server uses Streamable HTTP. Allow outbound HTTPS to
mcp.banksync.io. - If your client only supports local servers, use the npm bridge:
npx -y @banksync/mcp.
Tools are listed but return errors
- Verify your API key has the required scopes — for full access, select all scopes when creating the key.
- Make sure you have at least one bank connected in the BankSync app.
- Check that you are passing the correct workspace ID when prompted.
Debugging with MCP Inspector
- Use the MCP Inspector to test the connection independently of your AI client.
- Run:
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --url https://mcp.banksync.io--header "X-API-Key: bsk_your_key" - If the Inspector connects but your client does not, the issue is your client configuration.
