Expense Tracker
Connect your bank or credit card via MCP and this skill automatically retrieves your transactions, categorizes them intelligently, flags anomalies, and produces a clean monthly spending report. Understand exactly where your money goes — by category, merchant, and trend — without manual data entry. Currently non-functional: neither of Plaid's two MCP servers exposes transaction, account, or ownership data, so this skill cannot retrieve transactions as described until a connector that does exists.
What it does

Use the instead.
Required MCPs
