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
In Agents (Recommended)
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:- Open your agent’s configuration
- Click Add tools → Connect an app with MCP
- Search for the integration and select it
- Authenticate with your account
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.- Go to your node library and search for the integration
- Click Create a node with AI
- Describe the specific action you want (e.g., “Export reports from last month”)
- 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:- Create an account at expensify.com
- Go to Integrations
- Copy your partnerUserID and partnerUserSecret
- Add them to your Gumloop credentials

| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Agent not finding the right data | Specify clear date ranges and report states |
| Action not completing | Check that you’ve authenticated with your Expensify API credentials |
| Unexpected results | The agent may chain multiple tools (e.g., exporting first, then filtering). Review the agent’s reasoning to understand its approach. |
| Tool not available | Verify the tool is enabled in your agent’s MCP configuration |
