Claude connector · free

Is there a Claude connector for expense reports?

Yes. ExpenseOS is in Claude's connector directory, and it is free. Connect it once and Claude can file receipt photos, price a described drive at the IRS mileage rate, build the report as a PDF, Excel, CSV and QuickBooks file, and email your approver a one-click approve link.

Connecting it, in three steps

  1. Find PuraFi Expenses in Claude's connector directory

    Settings, then Connectors, then Browse. Search for "PuraFi Expenses" and connect it, the directory still carries its former name for now. If you would rather add it by hand, use the server URL below as a custom connector.

  2. Sign in once

    Claude opens ExpenseOS's sign-in in your browser: Google, Microsoft or a six-digit email code. Approve the connection and you are back in the conversation.

  3. Drop a receipt and say what you want

    Claude reads the receipt, ExpenseOS files it. Ask for your report whenever you are ready, and Claude renders the ledger and the report as cards rather than walls of text.

What you can say once it is connected

Claude routes a plain sentence to the right tool and renders the result as a card. The ledger, the report and the reimbursement tracker all appear inline.

It files the report. It does not just read one

Most expense connectors are read-only: they let an assistant search expenses that some other system already holds, which means you still file the report in the other system. ExpenseOS is the other system. The ledger lives here, the report is built here, and the approval email is sent from here, so the conversation is the only place you go.

What the report comes out as

Every report produces all four files, so whatever your finance team asks for is already there.

PDF

The report itself, with a receipt appendix. Every line cross-references its receipt image, so an approver or an auditor can check a charge without asking you for anything.

Excel (XLSX)

The same report as a spreadsheet, for finance teams who re-cut the numbers.

CSV

A frozen line-item export for any system that ingests plain files.

QuickBooks CSV

QuickBooks Online's own bank-import format, so the report goes into the books without a re-key.

Free, and your company does not need to know

The agent is free for you. There is no company account to arrange, no seat to be assigned, no credit card, and no approval from your finance team. Sign in with Google, Microsoft or a six-digit email code, and a personal email address is fine to start. The paid ExpenseOS platform is a separate product your company can buy later; it adds instant reimbursement the moment a report clears policy.

What it deliberately does not do

ExpenseOS Agent prepares and tracks reports. It does not move money, enforce a policy, or decide whether an expense is allowed. Your company reimburses you exactly the way it does today. Being clear about that is the point: it slots into whatever process you already have instead of asking your employer to adopt something.

Questions people ask

Is there a Claude connector for expense reports?

Yes. It is in Claude's connector directory: Settings, Connectors, Browse, then search for "PuraFi Expenses", which is the name the listing still carries. You can also add it by hand as a custom connector using the server URL, since it is a standard Model Context Protocol server.

Is the ExpenseOS Agent free?

Yes, and it stays free. Receipts, mileage, reports, PDF and Excel exports, one-click manager approval and reimbursement tracking are all included at no cost, with no credit card. The paid ExpenseOS platform is a separate product for companies; it adds instant reimbursement the moment a report clears policy.

Do I need my company to sign up first?

No. You can start on your own, today, with a personal email address. Your approver does not need an account either. They get an email with a one-click approve button and never sign in anywhere.

What is the ExpenseOS MCP server URL?

https://mcp.purafi.ai/mcp. It speaks Model Context Protocol over streamable HTTP and authenticates with OAuth, so any MCP client can use it. In ChatGPT and Claude you do not need the URL at all, because ExpenseOS is listed in both directories.

How does my manager approve it?

They get an email with the PDF attached and a one-click Review and Approve button, valid for 14 days. They do not need a ExpenseOS account, an app, or a login. If you sent it to the wrong person or spotted a mistake, you can recall the report and the link stops working immediately.

What files does the report come as?

Four, every time: a PDF with a receipt appendix, an Excel (XLSX) workbook, a CSV, and a QuickBooks-ready CSV in QuickBooks Online's bank-import format. All four are on the report page and on your dashboard.

Does it log mileage at the IRS rate?

Yes, and it works out the distance for you. Describe the drive in a sentence and ExpenseOS routes it server-side with a mapping service, then applies the IRS standard mileage rate for the date you drove, including 2026's mid-year rate change. It never asks the model to guess a distance or recall a rate.

Does it work in ChatGPT as well as Claude?

Yes, and it is the same account and the same ledger in both. It is a standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) server exposing 17 tools, so a receipt you add in ChatGPT is in the report you build in Claude.

Does it keep the actual receipt images?

Yes. The original photo or PDF is stored with the expense and embedded in the report's receipt appendix, cross-referenced to the line it belongs to. That is what makes the report survive an audit rather than just look tidy.

Where is my data, and can I delete it?

Your ledger, reports and receipt images are stored per account for as long as you keep the account. You can download everything as a ZIP whenever you like, and permanently delete your account and every file in one click.

Adding it by hand

ExpenseOS is listed in both directories, so you should not need this. If your client has no directory, add this as a custom Model Context Protocol connector and sign in when prompted:

https://mcp.purafi.ai/mcp

Start with one receipt

Add the app, send it a photo, and see the ledger fill up. The first report usually takes one coffee break.
