FAQ

Questions

ExpenseBot gives AI assistants and automation platforms structured access to expense data, Gmail receipt capture, reports, income, mileage, compliance checks, and accounting handoffs. ExpenseBot remains the system that captures and organizes receipts; downstream accounting software remains the source of truth for the books.

Receipt ingestion for agent workflows

ExpenseBot can also be the receipt-intake component inside a larger AI or automation workflow. Your agent owns orchestration, business rules, review policy, and downstream systems; ExpenseBot handles supported receipt intake, extraction, duplicate detection, terminal processing status, and customer-owned evidence in Google Sheets and Drive.

A reliable integration should:

Submit each receipt once and retain the returned submission identifier.
Check that identifier until it reaches an authoritative terminal result.
Branch explicitly on success, duplicate, held-for-review, or error states.
Avoid resubmitting work that is still pending.
Connect each customer's own ExpenseBot account rather than sharing one personal credential across clients.

See the builder integration overview for the workflow contract, architecture boundary, and implementation examples.

Recommended: remote OAuth

Use the hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint in clients that support remote MCP and OAuth:

https://mcp.expensebot.ai/mcp

Example mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "expensebot": {
      "url": "https://mcp.expensebot.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The client should open ExpenseBot sign-in and consent in the browser. Do not paste an ExpenseBot token into chat.

Local stdio fallback

Clients without remote OAuth support can run the public npm adapter:

npx -y @expensebot/mcp-server-auth

Store a revocable ExpenseBot token in the client's EXPENSEBOT_TOKEN environment or secret configuration. Generate and revoke tokens from AI Assistant Tokens.

What agents can do

Search and analyze expenses, income, mileage, subscriptions, and profit and loss.
Submit receipt images and PDFs and check processing results.
Scan connected Gmail accounts for receipts and monitor scan progress.
Add cash expenses, mileage, income, and confirmed client advances.
Review, correct, categorize, group, and annotate exact expenses with confirmation safeguards.
Create, inspect, export, and share reports and continue into client billing.
Review credits, refunds, compliance issues, monthly books, and client advance balances.
Trace document activity and open the relevant ExpenseBot review UI when a visual workflow is safer.

The live server currently exposes more than 50 tools. Write actions use previews, confirmations, bounded selections, or app handoffs where appropriate.
