Propose a feature

avenir-mcp grows from real uses of a plan. If you find yourself doing a task by hand that an agent could do for you, or an answer that could be clearer, propose it. Proposals are handled in the project’s GitHub issues, in public; you need a GitHub account.

Open a feature request

How to propose

1. Check it is not already there. Read the roadmap and search the open proposals. If yours exists, add a 👍 and your use case to it rather than a new issue.

2. Open a feature request. The form asks four things:

   Question	Why
   What do you want to do?	the task, in your words — not the tool you imagine
   What would you say to the agent?	a sentence you would type, and the answer you expect
   What happens today?	what the current tools do, and why it is not enough
   Does it change the plan?	a write needs a preview, a confirmation and an undo

3. Follow the discussion. Questions come as comments on the issue; you are notified by GitHub.

Never paste real financial data

Issues are public. Do not paste transactions, balances, account names, payees, screenshots of YNAB or your token. Invent the figures: “a 12.99 subscription that became 14.99” is enough to understand the need.

What makes a good fit

A proposal is easier to accept when it:

• describes a task, not a YNAB endpoint to wrap — see Architecture;
• works with YNAB’s public API and a personal access token;
• can be tested on an invented plan, like the rest of avenir-mcp;
• if it writes, can be previewed, confirmed and undone — see Safety by design.

Proposals that would send your data to another service, or act without your confirmation, are declined.
