Go Money is an open-source personal finance manager written in Go, built for speed, flexibility, and advanced customization.

Unlike most finance apps, Go Money is designed for more advanced users who want full control over their transaction data and storage.

It enables customizations through Lua scripting and external reporting with Grafana.

• Multi-currency transactions with base-currency tracking
• Double-entry ledger for audit-grade bookkeeping
• Custom Lua hooks + transaction rules engine to auto-tag, categorize, enrich transactions
• Grafana-based reporting (bring your own dashboards)
• Tags, categories, hierarchical accounts, daily stats
• CSV/XLSX imports: Firefly III, Monobank, Privat24, Paribas, Revolut
• Embedded MCP server for AI agents — read-only SQL + domain tools exposed at /mcp
• Scriptable and developer-friendly architecture
• High test coverage and stable API
• Multiple client libraries via ConnectRPC
• Prebuilt multi-arch Docker images and standalone binaries (linux/darwin/windows)

A demo instance of Go Money is available at https://demo.go-money.top and grafana dashboards at https://grafana.go-money.top.

Login credentials for the demo instance:

• Username: demo
• Password: demo4vcxsdfss231

Note: The demo instance is reset every 3 hours, so any data you enter will be lost after that time, also possible downtime during the reset process.

Note2: The demo instance is not intended for production use, it is provided for demonstration purposes only.

Note3: The demo instances is running on cheapest 1$ VPS, so it may be slow or unstable at times.

Go Money is available as:

• Docker image — ghcr.io/ft-t/go-money/go-money-full:latest (bundles backend + UI).
• Helm chart — published to gh-pages branch.
• Standalone binaries — go-money-server + go-money-mcp-client for linux/darwin (amd64 + arm64) and windows (amd64), attached to each GitHub Release.

For detailed installation instructions, please refer to the Installation guide.

GO Money provides a simple web UI for managing transactions, accounts, and other financial data.

Go Money provides multi-protocol API (gRPC, JSON-RPC) for more details and documentation, please refer to the API documentation

Go Money does not come with built-in reports. Instead, it allows you to use Grafana to create custom dashboards and reports based on your transaction data.

Grafana guide

Database schema

Query examples

Go Money runs Lua per transaction (via gopher-lua) to enrich, re-tag, re-categorize, split, or annotate based on your own logic. Scripts live in the DB and hot-reload — no restarts.

Rules engine details: docs/business-logic/rules-engine/overview.md.

Lua scripting guide

Lua scripts examples

Bring your existing data from other finance apps. Supported formats:

• Firefly III export
• Monobank statement
• Privat24 xlsx statement
• Paribas xlsx statement
• Revolut statement

See pkg/importers for the parsers.

Go Money ships an embedded Model Context Protocol server at /mcp. Connect any MCP-compatible AI agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, etc.) and query your finances in natural language — "how much did I spend on groceries last month?", "what's my net worth trend?", "auto-tag my Uber transactions".

1. Create a service token in Settings → Service Tokens.

2. Download go-money-mcp-client from the latest release.

3. Add to your agent's MCP config:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "go-money": {
         "command": "go-money-mcp-client",
         "args": ["-server", "https://your-go-money-host/mcp/"],
         "env": { "GOMONEY_TOKEN": "<paste-token>" }
       }
     }
   }

4. Restart the agent. Tools appear under the go-money namespace.

• MCP overview — purpose, query safety, example SQL.
• MCP client setup — full go-money-mcp-client flags, env vars, troubleshooting.
• MCP tool reference — per-tool request/response spec.
• MCP golden rules — must-read for agents before generating queries.
• MCP examples — 30+ natural-language → SQL mappings.

Go Money supports multiple currencies, allowing you to manage transactions in different currencies seamlessly.

Withdrawal transaction always has source_currency set to the account currency, but at same time you can set foreign currency for the transaction, so you can track exchange rates and conversions.

Go Money stores additional fields to track amounts in primary currency, so its much easier to work with that information in reports. For more details refer to Currencies guide
