description: File an expense report. Use when the user mentions a receipt, reimbursement, or expense, or asks to submit spending for approval.

To file an expense:

1. Ask for the receipt if the user hasn't attached one, and read the amount, date, merchant, and currency from it.
2. Call the expenses connector's `create_report` tool with those fields. Default the category from the merchant type; ask only if it's ambiguous.
3. If the amount is over the user's approval limit (check with `get_policy`), add their manager as approver before submitting.
4. Reply with the report number and its approval status. Don't paste the full API response.

# Expense Reports

File, track, and approve expense reports from a conversation with Claude.

## Use it

Attach a receipt and ask Claude to file it. Claude reads the amount, date,
and merchant, files the report through the Expense Reports connector, and
replies with the report number. Ask what's waiting on you to list the
reports that need your approval.

## Data

The plugin sends receipt details and report fields to your Example Corp
account through mcp.example.com. It stores nothing itself.
