Storage
The server stores data in a SQLite database inside the operating system temporary directory:
Database file:
expenses.dbLocation: the current temp folder returned by Python's
tempfile.gettempdir()
On startup, the server creates the expenses table if it does not already exist and performs a small write test to confirm the database is writable.
Categories
If src/expense_tracker_mcp_server/categories.json exists, the server serves that file content through expense:///categories.
If the file is missing, it falls back to these default categories:
Food & Dining
Transportation
Shopping
Entertainment
Bills & Utilities
Healthcare
Travel
Education
Business
Other
Requirements
