Example 4: Receipt Processing Automation

Use Case: Automatically process receipts from email or uploads User Intent: “I need to automatically extract data from receipts and create expenses” Maintain conversation history across multiple requests.

class AI2FinChat {
  private token: string;
  private conversationId: string | null = null;
  
  constructor(token: string) {
    this.token = token;
  }
  
  async chat(message: string): Promise<string> {
    const response = await fetch('https://app.ai2fin.com/api/chat/message', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Authorization': `Bearer ${this.token}`,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        message,
        conversationId: this.conversationId
      })
    });
    
    const data = await response.json();
    
    // Save conversation ID for history
    this.conversationId = data.data.conversationId;
    
    return data.data.message.content;
  }
  
  async getHistory(): Promise<Message[]> {
    if (!this.conversationId) return [];
    
    const response = await fetch(
      `https://app.ai2fin.com/api/chat/conversations/${this.conversationId}`,
      {
        headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${this.token}` }
      }
    );
    
    const data = await response.json();
    return data.data;
  }
}

// Usage
const chat = new AI2FinChat('YOUR_TOKEN');

// First message
await chat.chat("Show my transactions");
// AI: "You have 47 transactions..."

// Second message (AI remembers context!)
await chat.chat("Which ones are tax deductible?");
// AI: "Of those 47, 23 are tax deductible..."

// Get full history
const history = await chat.getHistory();
console.log(history);  // All messages retained

Python - Smart Receipt Processor

def process_receipt(receipt_url: str):
    """One-call receipt processing workflow"""
    response = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/mcp",
        headers={
            "Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}",
            "Content-Type": "application/json"
        },
        json={
            "jsonrpc": "2.0",
            "id": 1,
            "method": "tools/call",
            "params": {
                "name": "smart_receipt_processor",
                "arguments": {
                    "receiptUrl": receipt_url,
                    "autoCreateTransaction": True,
                    "autoLinkToBill": True
                }
            }
        }
    )
    
    result = response.json()
    return result["result"]["content"][0]["json"]["data"]

# Usage
receipt_data = process_receipt("https://example.com/receipt.jpg")
print(f"✅ Created transaction: ${receipt_data['transaction']['amount']:.2f}")
print(f"   Merchant: {receipt_data['merchant']}")
print(f"   GST: ${receipt_data['gstAmount']:.2f}")

Example 5: ChatGPT Integration

Use Case: Connect ChatGPT to your financial data via OAuth User Intent: “I want ChatGPT to answer questions about my finances” Build a command-line interface for AI2Fin.

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
from ai2fin_mcp import AI2FinChat

def main():
    token = input("Enter your AI2Fin token: ")
    chat = AI2FinChat(token)
    
    print("AI2Fin Assistant (type 'exit' to quit)\n")
    
    while True:
        user_input = input("You: ")
        
        if user_input.lower() == 'exit':
            break
            
        response = chat.send_message(user_input)
        print(f"AI: {response}\n")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Usage:

$ python ai2fin_cli.py
Enter your AI2Fin token: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs...
AI2Fin Assistant (type 'exit' to quit)

You: Show my bills
AI: You have 12 recurring bills totaling $445.50 monthly...

You: What's due this week?
AI: You have 3 bills due this week:
- Netflix ($15.99) - Due Nov 5
- Spotify ($11.99) - Due Nov 8
- Adobe CC ($54.99) - Due Nov 10

You: exit

OAuth Configuration

{
  "name": "AI2Fin Finance Assistant",
  "description": "Connect your AI assistant to your AI2Fin financial data",
  "authentication": {
    "type": "oauth",
    "authorization_url": "https://api.ai2fin.com/api/auth/oauth/authorize",
    "token_url": "https://api.ai2fin.com/api/auth/oauth/token",
    "scopes": ["read:financial_data", "write:transactions"]
  },
  "mcp_endpoint": "https://api.ai2fin.com/mcp"
}

User Experience:

User connects AI assistant to AI2Fin via OAuth
AI assistant can now answer: “What are my tax deductible expenses?”
AI assistant calls get_tax_deductible_summary via MCP
Returns formatted financial insights

Example 6: Custom Financial AI Agent

Use Case: Build a custom financial AI assistant User Intent: “I want a custom AI agent that understands my business finances”

const { App } = require('@slack/bolt');
const { AI2FinMCP } = require('ai2fin-mcp-sdk');

const app = new App({
  token: process.env.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
  signingSecret: process.env.SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET
});

// Map Slack users to AI2Fin tokens (securely!)
const userTokens = new Map();

app.message(async ({ message, say }) => {
  const userId = message.user;
  const ai2finToken = userTokens.get(userId);
  
  if (!ai2finToken) {
    await say("Please authenticate with AI2Fin first: /ai2fin-login");
    return;
  }
  
  // Send to AI2Fin MCP
  const mcp = new AI2FinMCP(ai2finToken);
  const response = await mcp.chat(message.text);
  
  await say(response.data.message.content);
});

app.start(3000);

Result: Ask AI2Fin questions directly in Slack! ✅

Common Integration Patterns

Pattern 1: Tax Deduction Workflow

User Intent: “I need to maximize my tax deductions”

# 1. Get tax deductible summary
tax_summary = call_mcp_tool("get_tax_deductible_summary", {...})

# 2. Find opportunities
opportunities = call_mcp_tool("suggest_tax_deductions", {...})

# 3. Analyze specific transactions
for transaction_id in opportunities["transactionIds"]:
    analysis = call_mcp_tool("analyze_transaction_tax_deductibility", {
        "transactionId": transaction_id
    })
    
# 4. Apply recommendations
if user_confirms:
    call_mcp_tool("apply_analysis_to_transaction", {...})

Pattern 2: Spending Optimization

User Intent: “How can I reduce my expenses?”

# 1. Get spending breakdown
spending = call_mcp_tool("get_category_spending_summary", {...})

# 2. Compare periods
comparison = call_mcp_tool("compare_spending_periods", {
    "period1Start": "2024-01-01",
    "period1End": "2024-03-31",
    "period2Start": "2024-04-01",
    "period2End": "2024-06-30"
})

# 3. Get top merchants
merchants = call_mcp_tool("get_top_merchants", {...})

# 4. Generate recommendations
recommendations = call_mcp_tool("suggest_budgets", {...})

Pattern 3: Bill Payment Automation

User Intent: “I want to automate bill payments”

# 1. Get overdue bills
overdue = call_mcp_tool("get_overdue_bills", {})

# 2. Get upcoming bills
upcoming = call_mcp_tool("get_upcoming_bills", {"daysAhead": 7})

# 3. Mark bills as paid (with confirmation)
for bill in overdue["bills"]:
    # First call - get confirmation
    preview = call_mcp_tool("mark_bill_as_paid", {
        "billPatternId": bill["id"],
        "occurrenceId": bill["occurrenceId"]
    })
    
    if preview["needsConfirmation"]:
        # Second call - confirm
        result = call_mcp_tool("mark_bill_as_paid", {
            "billPatternId": bill["id"],
            "occurrenceId": bill["occurrenceId"],
            "confirmToken": preview["confirmToken"]
