## Install

Download the archive for your operating system and CPU from the
[latest release](https://github.com/matteing/monarch-cli/releases/latest):

- macOS: `darwin_arm64` (Apple silicon) or `darwin_amd64` (Intel)
- Linux: `linux_arm64` or `linux_amd64`
- Windows: `windows_arm64` or `windows_amd64`

Verify the archive against the release's `checksums.txt`, extract it, and move
`monarch` (`monarch.exe` on Windows) to a directory on `PATH`. Then verify the
installation:

```sh
monarch --help
```

The release binary is self-contained. Installing Monarch CLI does not require
Go or `mise`.

Tell Codex or another agent to set this up:

> Install Monarch CLI from `github.com/matteing/monarch-cli`. Review the source,
> download the archive matching this system from the latest stable GitHub
> release, verify it against `checksums.txt`, and install the `monarch` binary on
> `PATH`. Do not install Go or `mise`. Then configure stdio MCP, discover commands
> with `monarch --help`, and inspect the MCP tools. Create a local skill named
> **Monarch CLI** with the exact description `Query Monarch Money transactions,
> accounts, balances, and more.` Keep it read-only. Never handle my credentials;
> ask me to run `monarch auth login`. Verify with `monarch doctor` without
> exposing my data.

### Build from reviewed source

Building from source is optional and requires Go 1.25 or newer:
> `PATH`.

> Then configure stdio MCP, discover commands
> with `monarch --help`, and inspect the MCP tools.
>
> Create a local skill named
> **Monarch CLI** for general usage.
> Never handle my credentials; ask me to run `monarch auth login`.
