Per Diem MCP server

Work out the daily travel allowance for a business trip on the rate tables the tax authorities actually publish, and keep the trips you priced. You give it where you went, when you left and when you got back, and which meals somebody else paid for; it gives you the amount per day and the total, in the scheme’s own currency, with the partial-day rule and every meal deduction shown next to the numbe

Install it

Hosted, nothing to install: open https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/connect - it mints a free token and prints a ready URL, https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/per-diem/t/<token>. Paste that into your client. The bare https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/per-diem hands out the tool list but answers tool calls with HTTP 401, which is why the tokenised URL is the one to use.
Claude Desktop, one click: download the .mcpb bundle
From source: git clone https://github.com/theluckystrike/mcp-servers then build servers/per-diem.
npm: the package @theluckystrike/mcp-per-diem is staged and publishes shortly; the .mcpb bundle is the supported install until then.

Pricing

Free to run locally, forever. The Pro licence is $19, one time, lifetime — it changes only the hosted endpoint’s saved-report cap, never the tools. All 58 servers together are $39 as a bundle instead of $1102 bought one at a time.

Buy the Per Diem Pro licence — $19

Questions people actually ask

Is the Per Diem MCP server free?

Yes. Running Per Diem locally is free and unlimited, and the code is MIT licensed. There is a one-time $19 Pro licence for the hosted endpoint, which removes the saved-report cap. No subscription and no account are required.

Does Per Diem need an API key?

No. The server works offline against local files. If you use the hosted endpoint, the connection is authenticated with a scoped token instead of a per-tool API key.

Where does the data go?

Local installs keep everything on your machine. The hosted endpoint stores records in an isolated per-tenant namespace, and only for servers you actually call.

Which clients can use it?

Any MCP client: Claude Desktop (via the .mcpb bundle), Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with an MCP extension, or your own agent over the Streamable HTTP transport.
