# BankBridge with Raw HTTP

Updated Apr 23, 2026·2 min read

Direct answer: Add BankBridge to Raw HTTP 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 `curl / any MCP client`. Swap the placeholder key for your real `bbk_` key from [your dashboard](/dashboard/settings).

```
curl -N https://bankbridge.money/api/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer bbk_your_api_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/list"
  }'
```

The [full doc page](/docs/api) for Raw HTTPauto-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 [Raw HTTP doc page](/docs/api) 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.
