Connect BankSync to Warp

Connect BankSync MCP server to Warp terminal for AI-powered access to bank transactions, balances, and investments in Warp's modern terminal.

See the Warp MCP docs for more detail.

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 Warp MCP configuration, replacing the placeholder with your API key:

MCP config (JSON)
{
"mcpServers": {
"banksync": {
"url": "https://mcp.banksync.io",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "bsk_your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Server URL. BankSync’s MCP server is at https://mcp.banksync.io over Streamable HTTP, authenticated with your X-API-Key. If Warp 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  • Confirm the key starts with bsk_ and has not been revoked.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-Key header.
  • 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.

Frequently asked questions

Does Warp support MCP servers?

Yes. Warp supports MCP servers through its agent mode. You can add servers via the MCP Gallery or manual JSON configuration.

How do I configure MCP servers in Warp?

Add MCP servers to your Warp configuration using the standard mcpServers JSON format with serverUrl and headers fields. Warp uses "serverUrl" as the key name for the MCP server URL.
