ExpenseBot MCP Server (read-only)

An MCP server that exposes ExpenseBot's public knowledge base to AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Gemini, and any other client that speaks the Model Context Protocol.

Users install this server once, then they can ask their AI assistant questions like:

• "Does ExpenseBot work with Xero?"
• "How much does it cost for accountants?"
• "What's the CFO pitch for ExpenseBot?"

and get accurate answers sourced from expensebot.ai/api/discover.

Install

      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@expensebot/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
