# BankBridge with OpenAI AgentKit

Updated Apr 23, 2026·2 min read

Direct answer: Add BankBridge to OpenAI AgentKit once, then ask it about your real bank accounts, transactions, subscriptions, and investment holdings. Every question live-fetches in real time — nothing is cached. $5/mo per connected bank.

## Setup

Paste the config below into `openai-agents SDK`. Swap the placeholder key for your real `bbk_` key from [your dashboard](/dashboard/settings).

```
import { Agent, MCPServerStreamableHttp } from "openai-agents";

const bankbridge = new MCPServerStreamableHttp({
  url: "https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.BANKBRIDGE_API_KEY}`,
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  model: "gpt-4.1",
  mcpServers: [bankbridge],
});

const result = await agent.run("How is my spending trending?");

// export BANKBRIDGE_API_KEY="bbk_your_api_key_here"
```

The [full doc page](/docs/agentkit) for OpenAI AgentKitauto-fills your real key when you’re signed in.

## Three prompts to try

-   > “List my bank accounts and current balances.”
    
-   > “How much did I spend on food this month?”
    
-   > “What are my recurring subscriptions?”
    

## If it doesn’t work

Check the [OpenAI AgentKit doc page](/docs/agentkit) for the Troubleshooting section. 90% of first-time failures are either a missing `Bearer` prefix (note the space) or a placeholder key that didn’t get replaced with a real one.
