The public site gained API documentation that makes xpenser more useful as both an app and a developer-facing finance system.

This release came from PR #52 and is now part of the xpenser release archive. It gives people evaluating an open-source expense tracker a clearer view of how the product has improved over time.

What changed

  • Added public Swagger/OpenAPI documentation.
  • Polished landing messaging for API and MCP use cases.
  • Verified the public API contract path in preview.

Why it matters

Developers evaluating a finance app need to see its API shape quickly. Public docs reduce setup friction and support integrations.

Where it fits

This release strengthens the personal finance API and MCP path for xpenser.

For a broader product overview, start with the xpenser home page. Developers can also explore the personal finance API and MCP tools, while self-hosters can review the self-hosted personal finance tracker page.

Start hosted, then self-host when ready

Create a hosted xpenser account for the public instance, or review the MIT licensed source and run your own deployment from Docker Compose.
