datarails-finance-os-mcp 2.0.2

MCP server for Datarails Finance OS integration with Claude

Datarails Finance OS MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude to Datarails Finance OS for financial data analysis, profiling, and reporting.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+ — python.org/downloads
• Claude Code — npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code (requires Node.js 18+)

Setup

Step 1: Install

pip install datarails-finance-os-mcp

With report generation (Excel, PowerPoint, PDF):

pip install datarails-finance-os-mcp[reports]

Step 2: Authenticate

datarails-mcp authenticate

This opens your browser where you log in, select your environment, and grant consent. Tokens are stored securely in your system keychain. JWT tokens auto-refresh when expired.

Step 3: Connect to Claude Code

datarails-mcp setup --claude-code

Or manually:

claude mcp add datarails-finance-os -- datarails-mcp serve

Step 4: Restart Claude Code

Close and reopen Claude Code for the MCP server to appear.

datarails-mcp authenticate --env dev    # Use dev auth server
datarails-mcp authenticate --env test   # Use test auth server
datarails-mcp disable                   # Disconnect and clear tokens
datarails-mcp status                    # Check auth status
datarails-mcp status --json             # JSON output
datarails-mcp serve                     # Start the MCP server (used by Claude)
datarails-mcp setup                     # Auto-configure Claude clients

Configuration

Client Profiles

Client profiles store table IDs, field mappings, and aggregation hints:

config/client-profiles/production.json
config/client-profiles/development.json

These are generated by the plugin's /dr-learn skill and are not committed to git.

Report Scripts

The scripts/ directory contains Python scripts for generating financial reports. These require the reports extra:

pip install datarails-finance-os-mcp[reports]

Reports use the authenticated session — run datarails-mcp authenticate first.

cd dr-datarails-mcp-re
pip install -e ".[dev,reports]"

# Run tests
