From the project README

ExpenseOnDemand MCP by usefulapi

Use your ExpenseOnDemand account from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Read accounting exports, payroll totals, users, customers, cost centres, categories and grades, and add or update employees, customers and cost centres, or deactivate an employee. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own credentials.

Live endpoint: https://expenseondemand.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://expenseondemand.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http expenseondemand https://expenseondemand.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "expenseondemand": {
      "url": "https://expenseondemand.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your ExpenseOnDemand credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/expenseondemand/

On first connect you provide your API subscription key (from the ExpenseOnDemand developer portal), your ClientID and your ClientKey (both shown in the ExpenseOnDemand app for your subscription). The server validates them and stores them per user. No keys go in config files.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
