Countbean plugin for Claude Code

Hosted plain-text accounting in Claude Code: a git-backed Beancount
ledger, AI ingestion of statements and receipts into validated double-entry, and HTML/Excel reports.

Install

Run these one at a time — Claude Code reads a multi-line paste as a single
slash command, so sending them together makes marketplace add swallow the
install line and fail with URL rejected: Malformed input to a URL function.

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/CPUtester5465/countbean-plugin.git

/plugin install countbean@countbean

Then reload, so the running session picks up the plugin's commands and MCP
tools — they are bound when Claude Code starts, so a fresh install is not live
until you do:

/reload-plugins

Use the full HTTPS URL, not the CPUtester5465/countbean-plugin shorthand — the shorthand resolves
to [email protected], which needs an SSH key and GitHub's host key already in your known_hosts.

Then connect it to your book. Say this to Claude with nothing after it:

/countbean:connect

It prints a short code and a link. Open the link, sign in at
app.countbean.com, pick the book, and approve —
Claude picks it up within a few seconds. There is no key to copy between
windows. (If you would rather paste a key you already have, put it on the same
line: /countbean:connect cbk_… bok_….)

Full documentation is in plugin/README.md.

This repository is published, not authored

The source of truth is the plugin/ directory of the Countbean monorepo. This repo is a mirror,
pushed by CI on every change.

Pull requests here cannot be merged — they would be overwritten by the next publish. The
mirror exists so that installing the plugin does not require access to the private monorepo,
and so plugin/mcp/countbean_mcp/ledger.py can keep being byte-compared against its
ledger_core original by tests that need both in one tree.
