    How to connect

    How to connect per-diem to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/per-diem

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).

    perdiem_ratesList a scheme's bundled daily allowance rates with the authority, instrument, source URL and effective date they came from. Filter by country or city. Free and unlimited.
    perdiem_calcCalculate the daily travel allowance for one trip: the amount per day and the total in the scheme's currency, with the partial-day fraction and the meal deductions the scheme's own rule applies. Free and unlimited.
    trip_recordCalculate a trip and save it under a name, traveller taken from the shared business profile; returns the TRIP-YYYY-NNNN id. An identical record is refused and named, spending no slot. Free: 5 trips a calendar month.
    trip_listList saved trips with the scheme, destination, dates and total on each, and a total per currency. Filter by scheme, destination, traveller, project and start date range. Free and unlimited.
    trip_deleteDelete one saved trip and free the free-tier slot it held that month. A trip that has been exported or has an expense booked against it is refused with the blocker named, and nothing is written. Free and unlimited.
    trip_exportReturn the exact expense_add arguments for a saved trip: one payload for subsistence and, with split_lodging, one for lodging. It writes nothing in the expense-tracker server; only mark_exported changes this trip. Pro.
    perdiem_reportTotal saved trips per scheme and calendar month, bucketed by start date: trips, days, subsistence and lodging, each in the scheme's own currency, with the trip ids behind every figure. Pro.
    license_statusReport this endpoint's licence state for your token as JSON: the product, the tier free or pro, why it is not Pro, and the checkout URL. Call it to explain a free-tier refusal. No arguments, nothing changes.
    license_activateTurn Pro on for this connection with key, an MCPL1.<payload>.<signature> issued at checkout for this server or the bundle. Data under your token stays; a wrong or expired key changes nothing. license_status confirms it.
