How does Zed authenticate with Redbark?

Zed authorises with OAuth 2.1 in the browser — you approve read-only access once, and there is no API key to paste.

What can the AI actually see?

Read-only access to your connected accounts, balances and transactions (and, on the Professional plan, brokerage holdings and trades). It can never move money or change your accounts.

Does Redbark store the data Zed reads?

No. Each request is proxied live from your bank through the Redbark MCP server. Redbark stores consent records, encrypted tokens and minimal account metadata — never transaction amounts, descriptions or balances.

Which Redbark plan do I need for MCP access?

MCP access requires a Developer or Professional plan. Brokerage tools (holdings and trades) additionally require the Professional plan.

What is the mcp-remote bridge?

mcp-remote is a small adapter that connects a stdio-based client like Zed to a remote MCP server and manages the OAuth 2.1 flow. Zed launches it with npx; no global install needed.

Do I need an API key?

No. mcp-remote handles OAuth 2.1 in the browser, so no key is stored in your Zed settings.

Your bank data, in Zed

Zed runs MCP servers as context servers. The mcp-remote bridge connects Zed to the Redbark MCP endpoint and handles the OAuth 2.1 browser flow, so Zed’s assistant can read your accounts, balances and transactions live.

Get started

Connect Zed in four steps

Connect your bank to Redbark

Sign up for Redbark and link your Australian bank accounts through CDR Open Banking. You consent at your bank — Redbark never sees your login.

Add a context server

In Zed’s settings.json, add the Redbark context server using the mcp-remote bridge, as shown below.

Authorise with OAuth

On first launch, mcp-remote opens your browser to authorise with OAuth 2.1. Approve read-only access and the connection is cached.

Ask away

Ask Zed’s assistant about your balances or recent transactions. It reads live, read-only data each time.
