Auggie

# One auggie mcp add command.

`auggie mcp add` saves the server to `~/.augment/settings.json`. A new session connects and loads the tools.

Read-only. Your agent can see balances and transactions, and nothing can move money, pay a bill, or place a trade. BankBridge doesn’t store your transactions. [How it’s secured](https://bankbridge.money/security) · [Try it with sample data first](https://bankbridge.money/demo)

Step 01

## Add the server.

terminal, one line

```
auggie mcp add bankbridge --transport http --url https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization:Bearer bbk_your_api_key_here"
```

~/.augment/settings.json

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bankbridge": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer bbk_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Auggie after editing the config.

Write the header with no space after the colon, as shown: `Authorization:Bearer`.

Step 02

## Verify it works.

`auggie mcp list` shows what you saved. It does not connect to the server, so the real check is a session: sign in with `auggie login`, start Auggie, and watch for **bankbridge** as it initializes its MCP servers. Then ask:

try this

```
list my bank accounts and balances
```

To test the config before you sign up, use the key `bbk_demo`. It returns sample data.

Troubleshooting

Client connects but shows 0 tools.

Usually the client is caching an old config, or you're on a mode that doesn't expose tools (Ask/Edit vs Agent, for example).

**Fix:** Fully quit + relaunch the host app. In VS Code Copilot, switch to Agent mode.

401 Unauthorized on every call.

The API key is missing, typo'd, or got revoked. Check the Authorization header starts with \`Bearer \` (note the space) and ends in a key you still own.

**Fix:** Paste a fresh key from [Settings](https://bankbridge.money/dashboard/settings).

Tools return a NO\_CONNECTIONS warning.

You haven't linked a bank yet.

**Fix:** Visit [Connect a bank](https://bankbridge.money/dashboard/connect) . The bank-connect flow opens automatically, ~30 seconds.
