### Description (declared)

# QuidClaw MCP

Your AI-powered Personal CFO.

*Local-first. Privacy by design. Your data never leaves your machine.*

QuidClaw MCP is an open-source [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that gives AI assistants the ability to manage your personal finances using [Beancount](https://beancount.github.io/) double-entry accounting. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client — and you have a Personal CFO that tracks every dollar, generates reports, and keeps your books clean.

> **"Lunch was $12, paid with Apple Pay"** → AI calls QuidClaw MCP → proper double-entry transaction recorded in your local ledger.

## Why QuidClaw MCP

- **Privacy first** — All data stored locally as plain text. No servers, no cloud, no telemetry. Nothing ever leaves your machine.
- **You own your data** — Standard Beancount `.bean` files you can read, edit, and version control. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary formats.
- **AI-powered, not AI-dependent** — QuidClaw MCP is just tools. The intelligence comes from your AI client. Switch AI providers anytime.

## How It Works

```
You ──(natural language)──→ AI Client ──(MCP)──→ QuidClaw MCP ──→ Beancount
                                                                  ↓
                                                          ~/.quidclaw/*.bean
```

- **You** talk naturally to your AI assistant
- **AI** understands your intent and decides which tools to call
- **QuidClaw MCP** provides 10 MCP tools that read/write Beancount ledger files
- **Data** is stored locally as plain text — you own it completely

QuidClaw MCP doesn't run any AI model. It's a bridge between your AI client and the Beancount accounting engine.
