Expense Tracker MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing personal expenses. This server exposes a set of MCP tools that allow AI agents to add, list, edit, summarize, and delete expenses. All data is stored in MongoDB and scoped to authenticated users.

✨ Features

• 🔐 User Authentication

  • Every request is authenticated using a Bearer Token (API Key).

  • API keys are securely stored as SHA-256 hashes.

• 💰 Expense Management

  • Add new expenses

  • List expenses within a date range

  • Edit existing expenses

  • Delete expenses

• 📊 Expense Summarization

  • Aggregate expenses by category

  • Filter summaries by date range

  • Optional category filtering

• 🤖 MCP Native

  • Fully compatible with MCP-enabled AI agents.

• ⚡ Asynchronous & Fast

  • Built using FastMCP and Motor for high-performance asynchronous MongoDB operations.

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Vikkaasshh/ExpenseTracker_MCP_Server.git
cd ExpenseTracker_MCP_Server

2. Create Virtual Environment

Linux / macOS

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Windows

python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install Dependencies

Using uv (Recommended)

pip install uv
uv pip install -e .

Using pip

pip install -e .

4. Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the project root.

MONGODB_URI=mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>@cluster.mongodb.net/

Replace the connection string with your MongoDB URI.

Example:

MONGODB_URI=mongodb+srv://admin:password123@cluster0.mongodb.net/

🗄️ Database Setup

Create a users collection.

Each authenticated user should have a document similar to:

{
  "_id": ObjectId("64b5fdf82bc9d0f4b0f92b72"),
  "api_key_hash": "f6c7cf74e35dca8d2b11f...",
  "is_active": true
}

The api_key_hash must contain the SHA-256 hash of the user's API key.
