What is Ai Coding Toolkit

ai-coding-toolkit is a comprehensive development toolkit designed to accelerate the integration of Plaid services using AI coding assistants. It includes sandbox data, mock data generation, and an MCP server to facilitate faster development.

Use cases

Use cases include testing Plaid integrations without real financial data, accelerating the development process with AI assistance, and providing specialized knowledge to AI coding assistants through product-specific guides.

How to use

To use the ai-coding-toolkit, navigate to the ‘/sandbox’ directory and follow the setup instructions provided in the README. This includes generating mock data and accessing the sandbox API.

Key features

Key features include mock financial data generation for testing, Plaid documentation search capabilities, sandbox access tokens for testing, and webhook simulation to test application handling.

Where to use

ai-coding-toolkit is primarily used in the financial technology sector, particularly for developers integrating Plaid’s services into their applications.

AI Coding Tookit for Plaid

A comprehensive toolkit designed to accelerate Plaid integration development using AI coding assistants. This repository provides sandbox MCP tools (mock data generation, documentation search capabilities, etc.) and product-specific guides to help developers build Plaid integrations faster and more efficiently with AI assistance.

Repository Structure

• /sandbox: Contains a sandbox MCP server implementation that helps developers integrate with Plaid more quickly by providing mock data and sandbox API access.
• /rules: Contains product-specific guides that can be used either as direct prompts for AI assistants or as Cursor rules to accelerate Plaid integration development.

Sandbox MCP Server

The sandbox MCP server located in /sandbox directory provides a set of tools to facilitate faster integration with Plaid. It offers:

• Mock financial data generation
• Plaid documentation search
• Sandbox API access tokens
• Webhook simulation

This sandbox environment allows developers to test their Plaid integrations without using real financial data.

Key Features

• Generate mock financial data for testing purposes
• Search Plaid documentation for relevant API information
• Obtain sandbox access tokens for testing
• Simulate webhooks to test application handling

Getting Started

To use the sandbox MCP server, navigate to the /sandbox directory and follow the instructions in its README.

cd sandbox
# Follow instructions in sandbox/README.md for setup and usage

Rules for AI Integration

The /rules directory contains comprehensive guides for various Plaid products and features. These guides can be used in two ways:

1. Direct Prompts: Copy the content directly into your conversations with AI assistants to provide them with specialized knowledge about Plaid products.

2. Cursor Rules: Import them as Cursor rules to enable your AI coding assistant to automatically understand Plaid’s integration patterns and best practices.

Using these rules significantly accelerates development by giving AI models the context they need to generate code for Plaid integrations.

[!WARNING]
These guides are designed to be used for the purpose of building a sample Plaid integration with the use of AI coding tools. You are solely responsible for ensuring the correctness, legality, security, privacy, and compliance of your own app and Plaid integration.
