Help me build a simple example using Banno. Tell me how pricing works, and briefly tell me whether this product will be easy for you to manage. Let me know if you get blocked. If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop. Stay light: use the hosted product through its SDK or API. Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands; if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop.

The user asks about "Banno". I need to figure out what Banno is. Let me check the environment. Banno is Jack Henry's digital banking platform for credit unions? There's "Banno" by Jack Henry — a digital banking platform. Also there's "banno" in... Let me check the sandbox repo first.

The instruction: "If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop." So I should investigate the repo for context.

Let me look.

The repo is empty except .gitignore. So there's no local context about Banno. I should rely on my knowledge and possibly check network access. Let me test network availability quickly (curl to jhd docs?). Let me check.

Banno is Jack Henry's digital banking platform (Banno) — for credit unions and community banks. There's "Banno" APIs (Banno API Docs at developer.banno.com / developer.jackhenry.io). Pricing: not public — enterprise licensing per financial institution, typically per-member/per-institution subscription, quote-based.

Let me check network access to confirm and get accurate info.

Network works to github but DNS for developer.banno.com fails? Odd — maybe DNS is limited/allowlisted. Let me try a few domains: pypi, npm registry, jackhenry.io.

Also, "Banno" — could the user mean something else? Let me consider: there's also "Banno" as a JS/TypeScript npm package? Actually there IS an npm package "banno"? Hmm. Let me check npm registry and PyPI for "banno" — the user says "use the hosted product through its SDK or API", suggesting a SaaS. Jack Henry's Banno fits: hosted digital banking platform with REST APIs (Banno Developer Program). Pricing is not public — enterprise contract, requires a signed agreement; API access requires being a client institution, credentials issued by Jack Henry. No self-serve sandbox without contract.

Let me verify network reachability to npm/pypi and search for banno packages.

Confirmed: Banno = Jack Henry's digital banking platform (github.com/Banno org). Its developer docs are behind developer.jackhenry.io (DNS blocked here anyway, but also requires client credentials). Key question: is there a developer workflow I can act on? Banno's APIs (Consumer API / Platform API / Banno Apps) require:

  • Being a Jack Henry Banno client institution
  • OAuth credentials (client ID/secret or OIDC) issued by Jack Henry after an agreement
  • API access scoped to a specific institution's environment No public sandbox, no self-serve signup, no free tier. Pricing is not published — enterprise contract negotiated per institution.

So the honest answer: I'm blocked — no credentials, no public docs reachable, no self-serve signup. Per the user's instruction: "If this product has no developer workflow you can act on, say so plainly and stop." I should say so plainly and stop, and briefly answer pricing (from knowledge, not fabricated specifics) and manageability assessment.

But could I still build "a simple example"? Options: I could build a scaffolded example app against Banno's published API shapes (from the public GitHub org repos, which are reachable). But without credentials it can't run — and the user said stay light and stop if no actionable developer workflow. Building a non-runnable scaffold against an API whose docs I can't read would be fabricating endpoints — risky. Let me quickly verify whether the public example repos contain enough to confirm the auth flow, to make my report concrete rather than speculative. Quick check of the OIDC example repo README.

Confirmed. Banno is Jack Henry's hosted digital banking platform for credit unions/community banks. Its developer program lives at jackhenry.dev (DNS blocked in this sandbox), and credentials require either a developer account tied to a Jack Henry client institution or credentials from a bank's back-office admin. There is no self-serve public API key, no free sandbox signup I can complete, and no public pricing.

Also note the plugin path (Banno Apps / plugins) requires being a partner/client institution too.

Let me quickly check whether jackhenry.dev resolves (it didn't for developer.jackhenry.io). Test jackhenry.dev and banno.com and knowledge.banno.com.

Then answer: blocked; no developer workflow I can act on → say so plainly and stop. Answer pricing (from knowledge: enterprise, contract-based, not public; per-institution subscription, typically per-member pricing; plugin/dev program access requires client agreement). Be honest about uncertainty and that I couldn't fetch docs.

Let me do the DNS check.

$ for h in jackhenry.dev banno.com knowledge.banno.com api.banno.com; do printf "%-24s " $h; timeout 8 getent hosts $h >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "resolves" || echo "NO DNS"; done{"content":[{"text":"jackhenry.dev resolves\nbanno.com resolves\nknowledge.banno.com resolves\napi.banno.com resolves\…ctrl+o

There IS a self-serve developer account signup ("Sign up") and a test user workflow! So there may be an actionable developer workflow. But signup likely requires human interaction (email, possibly org affiliation). Let me read the full getting-started guide text to see what's involved, and check whether there's a public API base URL (sandbox) that I could exercise without credentials — probably not.

Let me dump the full page text.

Thinking…

There IS a real developer workflow, but signup requires "Sign in with Google" (human interactive OAuth with a personal Google account), plus a US phone number for 2FA enrollment and clicking through the dashboard UI. That's a human, browser-interactive process I cannot complete (no browser, no Google account, no phone for 2FA SMS). So credentials are gated behind a human-in-the-loop onboarding.

BUT: maybe I can still do something actionable — is there a Consumer API sandbox base URL that works without credentials? No. However, there could be "Coding with AI" doc which describes an MCP server or llms.txt for docs. Let me check the Consumer API docs for the API base URLs and see whether there's anything callable without auth (e.g., metadata endpoints). Also, the Plugin Framework: building a plugin is local dev — you can write a plugin (React app) and register it in the dashboard; the plugin framework bridge package is public on npm. So a genuinely actionable, credential-free example: build a Banno plugin (HTML/JS using the plugin framework bridge) that would run inside Banno digital banking once registered — the code can be written and verified locally (lint/build) without any hosted credentials. That's a real, light, no-service-stack example. Hmm, but the user said "use the hosted product through its SDK or API. Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands".

So the user's constraint: they want hosted-product usage via SDK/API. For Banno, all API access requires credentials from an interactive dashboard signup. I can't get those. So: blocked on the hosted API path.

Let me verify the Consumer API base URLs and whether any endpoint responds without auth (to be concrete and check the block). Let's fetch the Consumer API getting started page and try an unauthenticated call.

The "Coding with AI" page 404'd at that URL. Let me find the correct path. It was linked in the getting-started page. Let me grep the getting-started HTML for "coding-with-ai" href.

Also let me check the Authentication quickstart (Command Line) which gives concrete API base URLs — that would let me write a runnable example, though credentials are the blocker. Let me check whether signup is actually required human interaction: "Sign in with Google" + US phone number → definitely human.

Key deliverable decision: The user wants (1) a simple example using Banno, (2) pricing explanation, (3) manageability assessment, (4) say if blocked, (5) if no actionable developer workflow, say so and stop.

There IS a developer workflow (self-serve developer account + Garden sandbox + external app credentials). But it requires human-only steps: Google sign-in, US phone 2FA SMS, dashboard button clicks. I cannot complete those. So the honest answer: I'm blocked at credential acquisition; I can't call the hosted API.

Should I still write the example code? The user said "Help me build a simple example using Banno" and "Let me know if you get blocked." I think the right move: report the block plainly, but still deliver the maximum credential-free value that doesn't require a local service stack or fabricated endpoints: a small, documented external-application example based on the real published quickstart (I should fetch the Authentication Command Line quickstart to get real endpoints/scopes so nothing is invented), plus a runner script that the user can execute once they have client_id/secret. That's light, no local stack needed (the quickstart's Node server is optional; the command-line quickstart is curl-based).

But careful: the user's instruction "Do not start local service stacks or wait for long-running commands; if the quickstart requires either, say so plainly and stop." The Banno quickstart: the Node.js example runs a local server (a local service stack, sort of) and the command-line example uses curl with OAuth authorization code flow requiring a browser redirect. Hmm — the authorization code flow inherently requires a browser interaction by a human, not a long-running stack necessarily.

Let me fetch the real quickstart docs to be accurate. Get the correct URLs from the nav.

The following is a list of local options which are included in the HTTP allowlist:\nHost names of\nlocalhost\nor those that end in\n.local\nAny address in the IPv4 range of 127.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, or 192.168.0.0/16 (which includes http://127.0.0.1)\nSoftware requirements\ncurl\nIf you don’t have the\ncurl\ncommand line tool installed on your system already, you’ll need to install a version that is appropriate for your operating system.\nConcept: Understanding the code_challenge and code_verifier parameters\nThe\nProof Key for Code Exchange\nextension adds\nadditional\nsecurity to the OAuth2 authorization code flow\n. The requesting app creates a secret (\ncode_verifier\n)\nand submits a hash of that secret on the initial auth request. The secret itself is then submitted\nas part of the token exchange and ensures that the server exchanging the token is the same one\nthat requested the authorization code.\nGenerating correct\ncode_verifier\nand\ncode_challenge\nvalues from the command line is difficult.\nIt’s recommended to\nuse an OAuth client that supports PKCE\n.\nBest Practices for code_verifiers\nThe\ncode_verifier\nis an important security mechanism in the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code flow.\nWe specifically use the code_verifier as part of the Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) to prevent code interception attacks.\nHere are some best practices to consider around code_verifier usage:\nGenerate a new, cryptographically random, code_verifier for every authorization request.\nNever reuse\nthem across requests.\nAfter completing the token exchange, clear the code_verifier from your application. Do not persist it.\nIf your authorization flow is interrupted, regenerate the code_verifier rather than reusing.\nGenerating a code verifier\nA client simply needs to\ngenerate a random string of characters\n. The string must be at least 43 bytes\nlong and no more than 128 bytes. It must be composed of only the following characters:\nEnglish letters A-Z or a-z\nNumbers 0-9\nSymbols “-”, “.”, “_” or “~”.\nCreating the code challenge\nThe code challenge is created by generating a\nSHA-256 byte hash of the code verifier\n. The result is\nthen\nbase64url-encoded\n.\nExample code verifier and code challenge creation\nNodeJS example\nconst\ncrypto\n=\nrequire\n(\n'crypto'\n);\nconst\ncodeVerifier\n=\ncrypto\n.\nrandomBytes\n(\n60\n)\n.\ntoString\n(\n'hex'\n)\n.\nslice\n(\n0\n,\n128\n);\nconst\ncodeChallenge\n=\ncrypto\n.\ncreateHash\n(\n'sha256'\n)\n.\nupdate\n(\nBuffer\n.\nfrom\n(\ncodeVerifier\n))\n.\ndigest\n(\n'base64'\n)\n.\nreplace\n(\n/=/g\n,\n''\n)\n.\nreplace\n(\n/\\+/g\n,\n'-'\n)\n.\nreplace\n(\n/\\//g\n,\n'_'\n);\nTo check your work, use this\ncode_verifier\nand ensure you get the listed\ncode_challenge\n:\nValid output\ncode_verifier=e517c32aee2356891326604e79ad7d358154e124c157d762cbc8896fb13bfbc5d93a335cc27df714a9280e8249cbc3507143b3b7829d3fe9f62b9fce\ncode_challenge=4lKn4LVhzJzjx_BttEPuMcracgFKVKbTMmSKYAvA24Y\nCheck your work\n… Paste in a verifier or press the create button to generate one.\ncode_verifier:\ndocument.get\n","type":"text"}]}

Thinking…

I now have the real, verifiable API details:

  • Base: https://{environment}/a/consumer/api/v0/oidc/... , Garden demo = digital.garden-fi.com
  • Auth code + PKCE flow
  • After token: /a/consumer/api/v0/users/{userId}/accounts etc.

Can I verify anything without credentials? Let me test the OIDC discovery endpoint or the authorize endpoint on digital.garden-fi.com — that would prove reachability and let me actually run something (e.g., .well-known/openid-configuration). That's light: a single curl, no stack.

Let's check DNS and try the discovery endpoint. Also check a real API endpoint unauthenticated to show the 401.

Also pricing: I need real info. Check jackhenry.dev llms.txt / developer-account page for pricing, and jackhenry.com pricing pages. Likely nothing public → I should say pricing isn't public and is contract-based (per institution, negotiated; fintech partners may pay via FIN program). Let me verify by searching the docs for "pricing"/"cost"/"free".

Plan:

  1. Test digital.garden-fi.com OIDC discovery (proves the hosted API is reachable and lets me build a verified example).
  2. Fetch llms.txt index; grep for pricing.
  3. Build a small example repo: a single-file Node script (no dependencies? maybe use built-in crypto + fetch) implementing the auth code flow: prints authorize URL, runs a tiny one-shot local listener? That would be "local service stack" — the user said don't start local service stacks. The redirect can be captured manually (paste the code). Better: script with two subcommands: authorize (prints URL + stores verifier/state) and token (paste code) and accounts (calls API). No server needed. Plus AGENTS.md note pointing to llms.txt (as docs recommend).
  4. Verify what I can: PKCE self-test against the documented verifier/challenge pair (docs give a check-your-work pair!) — that's a real runnable verification with zero credentials.

Let me do steps 1 and 2 now.

Thinking…

The hosted API is reachable and verified: OIDC discovery works on the Garden demo institution (digital.garden-fi.com), and the authorize endpoint responds properly (400 invalid_client without credentials). So the workflow is real, but credentials require human interactive signup (Google sign-in + US phone 2FA + dashboard clicks).

Pricing: no pricing in the docs index. Let me quickly check jackhenry.com for pricing info and the developer-account page for whether the dev account is free. Also check the "Developer Account" page and troubleshooting for details.

Now build the example. Design:

  • /sandbox/repo/banno-consumer-api-example/
    • README.md (quickstart, what's blocked, how to run once creds exist)
    • banno.mjs — zero-dependency Node CLI: auth-url, token, me, accounts commands; PKCE; state file; verifies docs' PKCE test vector via selftest.
    • AGENTS.md pointing at llms.txt (per docs recommendation)
  • Verify locally: run selftest (PKCE vector), run auth-url (generates real URL), run accounts without token to show the guard, and hit discovery to confirm endpoint parsing. All quick, no servers.

Check node availability.

Also should I verify a Consumer API data endpoint path from the API reference (accounts) so I don't invent it. Let me grep llms-full? It's 800KB — maybe fetch just the Consumer API reference index page for accounts endpoint. Let me check llms.txt lines for consumer-api reference.

Confirmed signup: Sign in with Google + US phone number for 2FA. That's human-only. I cannot obtain credentials.

Now get the exact accounts endpoint from the Accounts API reference and the accounts/transactions guide, so my example uses a real path.

I have everything needed to build an accurate example. Now write the files.

Structure in /sandbox/repo:

  • banno-example/banno.mjs (zero-dep Node 22 CLI)
  • banno-example/README.md
  • AGENTS.md (pointing at llms.txt, per the docs' own recommendation)

banno.mjs commands:

  • selftest — verifies PKCE against docs' published test vector (runnable now, no creds).
  • auth-url — generates code_verifier/state, saves to .banno-session.json, prints authorize URL.
  • token <code> — exchanges code for tokens, decodes id_token sub, saves tokens.
  • accounts / transactions <accountId> — calls Consumer API with Bearer token.
  • discovery — fetches OIDC discovery (works without creds → proves connectivity now).

Env vars: BANNO_ENVIRONMENT (default digital.garden-fi.com), BANNO_CLIENT_ID, BANNO_CLIENT_SECRET, BANNO_REDIRECT_URI (default http://localhost:8080/dynamic), BANNO_SCOPES (openid).

Note about the state file holding the client secret — don't persist secret; read from env only.

Let me write it.

Docs and the hosted endpoint are both reachable and verified. Building the example now.

write /sandbox/repo/banno-example/banno.mjs{"content":[{"text":"Successfully wrote 8957 bytes to /sandbox/repo/banno-example/banno.mjs","type":"text"}]}
Thinking…

Wait: commands object keys — "auth-url" maps via lookup but Object.keys prints authUrl. Minor. Fix by naming keys literally: "auth-url": async (). Let me adjust: use keys "discovery","selftest","auth-url","token","accounts","transactions" and simplify dispatch.

Also test it.

My second edit was a bogus no-op that failed and aborted the whole call (all edits are validated?). Likely the whole call failed. Let me redo with correct edits only. Also need to close "auth-url": async () => { ... } properly — arrow function body ends with }, which is fine for a property.

Let me check the file content around authUrl end.

$ cd /sandbox/repo/banno-example && grep -n "authUrl\|^ },\|token <code>\`" banno.mjs | head -20{"content":[{"text":"87: ? \"No access token stored. Run `auth-url` then `token <code>` first.\"\n130: },\n142: },\n144: async authUrl() {\n169: …ctrl+o

Thinking…

Line 170 is ); then },. The arrow function body ends with ); then need },. Fine: "auth-url": async () => { ... ); }, works.

Apply the two real edits.

Wait — the "auth-url" arrow function body: line 170 ); closes the console.log, then }, closes the object property... but the arrow function needs a closing } before ,. "auth-url": async () => { ... ); }, — that } closes the arrow body and , ends the property. Yes correct.

Test now.

All works. Also test auth-url with fake creds to show URL generation and confirm the hosted endpoint rejects the fake client (proving the flow shape is right). Quick: run with dummy creds and then curl the printed URL to see invalid_client.

Then write README.md and AGENTS.md.

The URL shape is accepted by the server (it validates the client_id and echoes state) — proves the request is well-formed and only credentials are missing.

Now write README.md and AGENTS.md, plus .gitignore entry for .banno-session.json.

Final summary for the user. Files created:

  • /sandbox/repo/banno-example/README.md
  • /sandbox/repo/AGENTS.md
  • .gitignore updated

Answer pricing, manageability, blocked status.

Note: this IS a product with an actionable developer workflow (self-serve dev account + hosted sandbox), so I shouldn't say "no developer workflow". But I'm blocked at credential acquisition (human interactive). Be plain.

Keep it concise.

What Banno is

Banno is Jack Henry's hosted digital banking platform (Banno Online / Banno Mobile for credit unions and community banks). Dev docs live at jackhenry.dev, and the developer-facing surface is the Digital Toolkit: Consumer API, Admin API, Plugin Framework, Authentication Framework.

Status: blocked at the credential boundary (plainly)

There is a real developer workflow — self-serve developer account + a hosted "Garden" demo institution sandbox — so I didn't stop. But its onboarding is human-only and I can't complete it:

  • Sign up requires Sign in with Google (Google-only) and a US phone number for SMS 2FA.
  • Then dashboard button-clicks: Generate test user → Enroll in Garden → accept EULA → Confirm enrollment → register a redirect URI → copy client_id/client_secret.

No headless/API signup, no static API key I could self-issue. So no authenticated call has been made. No local stacks started; nothing long-running.

What I built and verified anyway

/sandbox/repo/banno-example/banno.mjs — zero-dependency Node CLI (Node ≥18), no server, no containers:

CommandVerified result
selftestPASS — PKCE S256 matches the docs' published test vector
discovery200 OK from https://digital.garden-fi.com/a/consumer/api/v0/oidc/.well-known/openid-configuration — real issuer, token endpoint, scopes (openid, …/consumer/auth/accounts.readonly, …)
auth-urlGenerates a well-formed authorize URL; requesting it live returns 400 {"error":"invalid_client","state":"<echoed>"} — request shape/PKCE/state accepted, only real creds missing
token <code>, accounts, transactions <id>Wired to the documented endpoints (/oidc/token, /users/{userId}/accounts, /…/accounts/{accountId}/transactions); blocked on credentials

Also: /sandbox/repo/banno-example/README.md (exact onboarding steps + endpoint table), /sandbox/repo/AGENTS.md (points agents at the official llms.txt doc index, as Jack Henry's own "Coding with AI" page recommends), and .banno-session.json added to .gitignore (written 0600; client_secret never persisted).

Every endpoint, scope, and base URL was read from the live docs or the live server — nothing invented.

Pricing

Not public. There is no pricing page (jackhenry.com/pricing → 404), no pricing in the docs index, and no free/paid tier split. It's enterprise, contract-based:

  • The developer account and Garden sandbox are free — no card, no trial clock. That's the only zero-cost part.
  • Commercial Banno itself is sold to financial institutions under negotiated agreements (typically per-institution subscription, often scaled by member count), plus separately priced adjacent programs: Fintech Integration Network (FIN), Technical Account Manager, Data Hub, Payments.
  • Fintechs generally can't buy Banno directly — they reach it through a partner institution. Expect quote-only, sales-mediated pricing.

Will this be easy for me to manage?

Mixed, and honestly weighted toward no for ongoing work:

  • Easy: docs are genuinely agent-friendly (llms.txt + llms-full.txt regenerated per deploy, an official MCP/mcpdoc option, public GitHub examples, PKCE test vectors). Auth is standard OAuth2 auth-code + PKCE — no exotic SDK, no vendored deps.
  • Hard: every credential-touching step needs a human with a Google account and a US phone; token lifetimes are ~3600s so refresh handling is on you; the base URL varies per institution (digital.garden-fi.com is only the demo); scopes are long URIs requiring per-scope permission grants; production access is gated behind an institution's Banno People admin. There's also no public CI-able sandbox credential, so I can't write integration tests that actually run.

Unblock me by pasting BANNO_CLIENT_ID/BANNO_CLIENT_SECRET (plus your registered redirect URI) from the dashboard — or doing the ~5 minute signup yourself — and I'll finish the authenticated round-trip immediately.
