Summary
Connects Claude to your ExpenseLM account so you can query and analyze your expense data directly in conversations. You'll need an ExpenseLM API key to authenticate. Once configured, you can ask questions about your spending patterns, get expense insights, and retrieve financial data without leaving your chat window. Useful if you're already tracking expenses in ExpenseLM and want to incorporate that financial context into your AI workflows. Setup is straightforward with uvx on both Mac and Windows, and it also works with Perplexity Desktop if that's your preferred client.
Keep your Mac awake while Claude Code and 40+ AI agents run. Sleeps when they're idle.
