Connect your Splitwise account to your AI client to sync your social circle and group rosters. Once connected, your agent handles the lookup work for you.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI see my Splitwise friends and groups?

Yes. Your AI uses this MCP to pull your friend list and specific group memberships. This ensures every expense you track is tied to the correct person. You'll see how the data flows below.

Where every issue lands.

Outcomes for your expense tracking

The AI handles the data retrieval so you can focus on the math.

SYNCED

Accurate contact lists

The AI pulls your current friends list. You won't have to guess which contact name to use when adding a new debt.

VERIFIED

Group member matching

Your agent checks group rosters to confirm who is actually in a specific trip or household. This prevents assigning costs to people who aren't part of the group.

IDENTIFIED

User profile lookup

The AI identifies your own profile details. This keeps your personal balance and identity consistent across all requests.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

The AI cannot create new friends or change existing Splitwise settings. You still handle the actual money transfers and contact additions in the Splitwise app.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI moves through your Splitwise data to find the right people for your task.

  1. Identify you

    The agent first checks your own account details to establish context for the session.

    get_current_user

  2. Fetch contacts

    The AI pulls your full list of friends to see who is available for expense assignment.

    get_friends

  3. Target specific people

    If you mention a specific person, the agent pulls their individual profile data.

    get_friend

  4. Confirm group members

    The agent cross-references your request against group rosters to ensure the person belongs in that specific group.

    get_friends

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI add new friends for me?

    No. The current tools only allow the AI to read your existing friends and group lists.

  • 02

    Can my AI delete an expense?

    No. This MCP is designed for retrieving contact and group information, not for modifying or deleting financial records.

  • 03

    Does the AI know my Splitwise password?

    No. The connection is handled through secure authorization, and your password is never shared with the AI or Vinkius.

  • 04

    Can I use this with any AI?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which group I'm talking about?

    The AI uses the contact and group data it retrieves to match the names you mention in your chat to the actual members in your Splitwise account.
