27actions available
Three actions you can hand over today
Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.
Create scheduled transaction
Ayro creates recurring transactions in YNAB to automate budget tracking for regular expenses. Users set up recurring payments instantly instead of manually logging them each month.
Update scheduled transaction
Ayro updates recurring transactions in YNAB when payment amounts or schedules change. Users keep automated budgeting aligned with reality without breaking existing automation.
Delete scheduled transaction
Ayro deletes a scheduled transaction permanently from a YNAB budget. Users remove outdated automation without clearing all related transaction history.
How businesses use Ynab + Ayro
Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Ynab actions Ayro runs to close it.
Answer what is left in a category this month
Ayro reads a category's budgeted amount, activity, and balance for the current month, pulls the month summary around it, and lists every category group when the question is broader than one line.
Get Category by IDGet Budget MonthList CategoriesTrace what a payee or account was charged
Ayro lists transactions filtered by payee, account, or category rather than dragging back the whole history, and opens a single transaction when only one is in question.
List Transactions by PayeeList Transactions by AccountGet Transaction by IDSet up and adjust the bills that repeat
Ayro creates a scheduled transaction with its date, frequency, and amount, edits one when the rent changes, and deletes the recurring entry that no longer applies.
Create Scheduled TransactionUpdate Scheduled TransactionDelete Scheduled TransactionSync a budget without re-reading all of it
Ayro pulls a complete budget export with accounts, categories, payees, and transactions, then uses the server knowledge value from that response to fetch only what changed on the next pass.

How it works
Get started in 3 steps
Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Ayro reads the Ynab actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.
Connect Ynab
Authorize the Ynab account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Ayro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Ayro maps it to the Ynab actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

FAQ
Everything else about Ynab
Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Ayro can do inside Ynab.
Because YNAB works in milliunits: 1,000 milliunits is one currency unit, so a balance of 150000 means 150.00. Ayro divides before reporting a figure and multiplies when writing one, which matters most on Create Scheduled Transaction, where the amount is negative for an expense and positive for income.
