Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to usefulapi.io, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted MCP server for ExpenseOnDemand: read accounting exports, payroll totals and master data, and add, update or deactivate employees, customers and cost…

What you can do: Export approved expense data for accounting, filtered by report, date range, category, claimant, cost centre, grade and payment type
Get payroll totals per employee and list export templates, expense categories and grades
List customers, cost centres and users, and add or update customers and cost centres
Add, update or deactivate employees, including inviting new ones
Check monthly tool-call usage, request a missing feature, and upgrade or cancel the paid plan
When to use it: Useful when you want an assistant to pull approved expense and payroll figures out of ExpenseOnDemand for reporting or accounting hand-off, or to maintain employees, customers and cost centres without opening the app.
Requirements: Remote endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no local install. Sign-in is via OAuth, and on first connect you supply an ExpenseOnDemand API subscription key, ClientID and ClientKey, which the server stores per user. No keys go in the client config. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month.

Before you install

Several tools write to your ExpenseOnDemand data: adding customers, cost centres and employees, updating records, and deactivating employees. Update tools may clear fields you omit, so read the record first. Adding creates a new record on every call. Paid plans cost money and are billed through a Stripe checkout link; cancellation runs to the end of the paid period with no refund for the current period. Your ExpenseOnDemand credentials are stored by the hosted service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open ExpenseOnDemand MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
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%2Fexpenseondemand/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

README

ExpenseOnDemand MCP by usefulapi

Use your ExpenseOnDemand account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read accounting exports, payroll totals, users, customers, cost centres, categories and grades, and add or update employees, customers and cost centres, or deactivate an employee. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

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

Connect

Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://expenseondemand.usefulapi.io/mcp.
Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http expenseondemand https://expenseondemand.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": {    "expenseondemand": {      "url": "https://expenseondemand.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "expenseondemand": {      "url": "https://expenseondemand.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 ExpenseOnDemand credentials.

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

On first connect you provide your API subscription key (from the ExpenseOnDemand developer portal), your ClientID and your ClientKey (both shown in the ExpenseOnDemand app for your subscription). The server validates them and stores them per user. No keys go in config files.
