Compatibility

MCP is a protocol. Any client that speaks it can mount this server.

codespar_discover lists this server's tools, but a project with a test key cannot call them yet: the runtime has not recorded what this provider does in test mode, and refuses rather than guess.

Questions

Before you install.

How do I install the BCRA MCP server?

Run npx -y @codespar/mcp-bcra@0.2.2 and add the config block above to your MCP client: Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible client. No build step, no SDK required.

What can my agent do with BCRA?

BCRA exposes 16 tools for banking. Your agent calls them directly; the full list is above.

How does BCRA authenticate, and how are credentials stored?

BCRA uses No Auth. Self-hosted, you hold the credentials: the server reads them from its environment variables.

How does BCRA handle upstream API changes?

Every server is versioned independently on npm. The command on this page pins 0.2.2, the version whose tools are listed here; your agent keeps running it until you change the version.

Is BCRA open source? How do I report a bug?

Yes. BCRA is MIT-licensed and published on npm as @codespar/mcp-bcra, source on GitHub (link in the Details panel). Report issues on the package repository; security issues go to security@codespar.dev, and we respond within 24 hours.
