Now you can connect an AI agent to your BeanHub books

Hey 👋 It’s been a while. You may wonder what we’ve been doing 😊 Today we are glad to announce hosted MCP (Model Context Protocol). You can connect your BeanHub account to an LLM agent you already use: ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Cursor, or anything else that speaks remote MCP with OAuth. We held this back for a long time. We worry about privacy. We worry about models making up numbers. After thinking it through, we landed here: it’s up to you which tools you trust.

Entries Edit and MCP are here!

So far, there are many things you can do with BeanHub, but there are still many things you can’t do. Editing entries is one of the most common tasks you need to perform daily, but it hasn’t been supported until now. Today, we are thrilled to announce that the Entries Edit feature is here! This is a huge milestone for BeanHub because it means you can now manage your books end-to-end with BeanHub, from adding new entries and importing transactions to deleting and editing entries.

Introducing BeanHub Affiliate program!

As plaintext accounting book users, we all love the way we manage our accounting books. However, to unleash the true power of plaintext accounting software like Beancount and BeanHub, some technical knowledge is required. One of BeanHub’s critical missions is to make it easier than ever for anyone to enjoy the experience, even if they are not highly technical. We spent great efforts to make the software more accessible to all users.

New Manual Import feature making importing transactions fun and easier than ever

Last time, we introduced BeanHub Connect, which allows you to connect different banks and import transactions automatically through our open-source tool beanhub-import. Based on our experience, most transactions, such as your rent, internet service, server fees, and so on, are recurring. With automatic importing rules, it covers 80% of your transactions. However, no matter how hard you try, there’s always a limit to how much you can automate. For example, say you hang out for lunch with your friend Jane.

Now, you can secure your BeanHub account with multi-factor authentication

As we mentioned, security is the top priority when building BeanHub, and it’s undoubtedly also the top priority of most BeanHub users when choosing an account book solution. Many of you have been asking this for a while, and today, we are glad to inform you that the multi-factor authentication (MFA for short; some call it two-factor authentication or 2FA, and it depends on the number of factors) feature is available.

BeanHub Import - One small step closer to fully automating transaction importing

We all love plain-text accounting. It’s based on open-source tools, so you never need to worry about vendor lock-in. Beancount is among the most popular options, along with others, such as ledger or hledger. You can visit Plain Text Accounting to learn more. Unlike plain-text accounting, proprietary software users always worry about whether the company will shut down and the tool they use will no longer be supported. For example, the popular budgeting app Mint was shut down, and millions of its users were forced to migrate to Credit Karma instead.

How BeanHub works part1, contains the danger of processing Beancount data with sandbox

It has been more than two years since we launched BeanHub. Recently, we have been tirelessly releasing new features. Some of you may ask What were you busy with at the very beginning? Why wait until now to start adding new features? Well, we spent most of our time at the very beginning building the infrastructure to move faster later. We have adopted and developed many interesting technologies in-house. Sandbox is one of the technologies we explored and adopted.
