Shelter
Shelter is a read-only AI money guardian from Nextaura Labs that connects to a user's financial accounts through Plaid and publishes a 30-day cash-flow forecast, safe-to-spend and affordability checks, bill and subscription detection, and low-balance alerts. Its agent surface is an official open-source MCP server (npm @shelter.money/mcp, ten read-only tools with an MCP-registry server.json) backed by a scoped-API-key Agent API; the documented API host api.shelter.money was NXDOMAIN at probe time (2026-09-07), so the live API could not be reached.
Shelter is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Personal Finance, Budgeting, Fintech, MCP, and AI Agents.
Shelter’s developer surface includes pricing, support, engineering blog, signup flow, and 16 more developer resources.
