Expensify is an expense management platform for tracking receipts, reports, and corporate card transactions. The Expensify MCP server lets you export reports, reconcile transactions, and create expenses using natural language.

What Can It Do?

  • Export expense reports in CSV, Excel, PDF, or XML formats
  • Reconcile card transactions by exporting transaction data
  • Create expenses in bulk with categories, tags, and custom fields
  • Get download links for exported data

Where to Use It

Add Expensify as a tool to any agent. The agent can then interact with your expense data conversationally, choosing the right actions based on context. To add an MCP tool to your agent:
  1. Open your agent’s configuration
  2. Click Add toolsConnect an app with MCP
  3. Search for the integration and select it
  4. Authenticate with your account
You can control which tools your agent has access to. After adding an integration, click on it to enable or disable specific tools based on what your agent needs.

In Workflows (Via Agent Node)

For automated pipelines, use an Agent Node with Expensify tools. This gives you the flexibility of an agent within a deterministic workflow.

As a Custom MCP Node

You can also create a standalone MCP node for a specific action. This generates a reusable node that performs one task, useful when you need the same operation repeatedly in workflows.
To create a custom MCP node:
  1. Go to your node library and search for the integration
  2. Click Create a node with AI
  3. Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Export reports from last month”)
  4. Test the node and save it for reuse
Custom MCP nodes are single-purpose by design. For tasks that require multiple steps or dynamic decision-making, use an agent instead.

Authentication

To use Expensify, generate API credentials:
  1. Create an account at expensify.com
  2. Go to Integrations
  3. Copy your partnerUserID and partnerUserSecret
  4. Add them to your Gumloop credentials

Example Prompts

Use these with your agent or in the Agent Node: Export reports:
Export expense reports from January 1 to January 31 as a CSV
Get card transactions:
Export corporate card transactions for last month
Create expenses:
Create an expense for $45.50 at Uber on January 15 in the Travel category

Troubleshooting

IssueSolution
Agent not finding the right dataSpecify clear date ranges and report states
Action not completingCheck that you’ve authenticated with your Expensify API credentials
Unexpected resultsThe agent may chain multiple tools (e.g., exporting first, then filtering). Review the agent’s reasoning to understand its approach.
Tool not availableVerify the tool is enabled in your agent’s MCP configuration
Agents are smart enough to chain multiple API calls together. For example, asking “Get my Q4 expense summary” will export reports and calculate totals. If results seem off, check the agent’s step-by-step reasoning.
