Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted ExpenseIn connector that lets an assistant read expenses, approvals, invoices, receipts and card transactions, and create expenses or invoice notes.

What you can do
  • List and fetch expenses, including those awaiting, approved or rejected in approval
  • List and fetch supplier invoices and credit notes, and add a free-text note to an invoice
  • List and fetch receipts, and list card transactions by date, cardholder or search term
  • List users, categories, projects, departments, suppliers, merchants, tax rates, policies and purchase requests
  • Create a new expense for a user
  • Check usage status, request a missing feature, upgrade or cancel the subscription
When to use it
Useful when you want to query or report on ExpenseIn spend from a chat client: pending approvals, last month's card transactions, category tax defaults, or filing a new expense without opening the web app.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no local install. Sign-in is via OAuth, and on first connect you supply an ExpenseIn API key created in the ExpenseIn admin area, which the service stores per user. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans are available.
Before you install
The service holds your ExpenseIn API key and reads company financial data, which passes through a third party. Two tools write data: creating an expense and adding an invoice note, and repeated calls create duplicates. Subscription tools can start a paid Stripe checkout or cancel Pro, and cancellation gives no refund for the current period. Free tier is capped at 50 calls a month.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open ExpenseIn MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fexpensein/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

ExpenseIn MCP by usefulapi

Use your ExpenseIn account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read expenses, approvals, invoices, receipts and card transactions, and create expenses or invoice notes. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://expensein.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://expensein.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http expensein https://expensein.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "expensein": {      "url": "https://expensein.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your ExpenseIn credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/expensein/

On first connect you provide an ExpenseIn API key (Admin → Integration → ExpenseIn API → New API Key). The server validates it and stores it per user. No keys go in config files.
