What it does

Mercury is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. View Mercury bank accounts and transactions. Read-only by design. Trigger phrases: mercury, mercury balance, mercury transactions.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/mercury.py`).

The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: mercury
  • Mercury balance
  • Mercury transactions

Example prompts

  • “/mercury”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. This connector is read-only by design: accounts and transactions only retrieve data. There are no write commands.
  2. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
  3. Resolve the account ID with accounts before calling transactions; do not guess account IDs.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Mercury loads about 512 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 179 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~512

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Mercury

Purpose

Read-only access to the user's Mercury banking: list bank accounts and view recent transactions per account. Use when the user mentions Mercury, asks about a Mercury balance, or wants Mercury transactions. This connector cannot move money or change anything.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/mercury.py:

bash
bin/mercury.py auth                                # verify the connection
bin/mercury.py accounts                            # list bank accounts
bin/mercury.py transactions --account A --limit 20 # recent transactions for account A

Use accounts first to resolve an account ID for transactions.

Auth

  • Provider id: mercury (credential is collected as custom.mercury)
  • Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access)
  • Token: generated at app.mercury.com → Settings → API Tokens. Use a Read-Only token (no IP whitelist needed); Read+Write tokens require IP whitelisting.
  • Allowed hosts: api.mercury.com
  • Status check: bin/mercury.py auth (must return "ok": true)
  • Connect placement: bearer_header

Operating Rules

  1. This connector is read-only by design: accounts and transactions only retrieve data. There are no write commands.
  2. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates. Do not print, log, or transmit the token value.
  3. Resolve the account ID with accounts before calling transactions; do not guess account IDs.
