Who it is for
Employees and contractors who file their own expense reports and chase reimbursement.
Receipts, mileage, and expense reports built inside the chat
Overview
PuraFi builds expense reports from material dropped into a conversation. Receipts arrive as photos, PDFs, or typed descriptions and land in a running ledger with merchant, date, category, and amount, grouped by month or by trip. Mileage is handled by describing the drive: distance is computed server side against a mapping API and priced at the IRS rate in force on the date of travel, including mid-year rate changes.
When the ledger is ready, the connector renders a PDF report plus CSV, Excel, and QuickBooks-ready files, registers the report with an approval service, and emails the approver a link that works without an account. After submission the report carries a status and a days-waiting counter until it is marked paid. A PuraFi account is required, and settings such as the default approver live with it.
Employees and contractors who file their own expense reports and chase reimbursement.
The seventeen tools cover a full report lifecycle rather than a single action: add_receipt and log_mileage collect, make_my_expense_report and submit_my_report package and send, and recall_report, mark_reimbursed, and my_reimbursement_status handle what happens after. Writes outnumber reads.
Availability
PuraFi Expenses is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. PuraFi has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them.
The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one.
Claude listing

Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.
https://mcp.purafi.ai/mcp PuraFi Expenses is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality.
In the publisher's words
PuraFi turns a conversation into a finished expense report. Drop receipts into chat as photos, PDFs, or plain descriptions and PuraFi keeps a running list: merchant, date, category, and amount, organized by month or trip. Describe a drive ("office to the Hartford client and back") and PuraFi figures out the actual driving distance and applies the current IRS mileage rate, including the mid-year rate changes your spreadsheet missed. When you're ready, PuraFi puts everything into a polished PDF report, plus files your finance team can open straight in Excel or QuickBooks. It double-checks every line for the things that get reports bounced back: missing details, forgotten attendees, duplicate charges. Then it sends the report to your approver with a one-click review link. No account or app needed on their end. After you send it, PuraFi tracks where your report stands (pending, approved, or rejected) and counts how many days you've been waiting, so asking "how much am I owed?" always has a real answer. Use it for: • Turning receipt photos and PDFs into organized expenses • Logging business mileage at the current IRS mileage rate • Building expense reports as PDF, Excel, or QuickBooks-ready files • Sending expense reports to your manager for one-click approval • Tracking approval status and how long you've been owed Try: "File my expenses from this trip" - "Log my drive to the client site and back" - "Make my expense report and submit it to my manager" - "How much am I owed?" From a pocketful of receipts to a submitted, tracked expense report, without ever leaving the conversation.
