# Light MCP Plugin for Claude Code

A [Claude Code plugin marketplace](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/plugin-marketplaces) that connects Claude Code to [Light](https://light.inc)'s financial platform via MCP.

Once installed, Claude Code can query your bills, vendors, cards, expenses, ledger accounts, and more — directly from your terminal.

> **Full setup guide:** [Connect your AI assistant to Light](https://help.light.inc/ai-features/how-to-use-light-mcp)

## Prerequisites

- A Light account with MCP enabled (see [Connect your AI assistant to Light](https://help.light.inc/ai-features/how-to-use-light-mcp))
- [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com) installed

## Setup

### 1. Generate a Light MCP token

1. Open **Settings > Profile** in Light
2. Scroll to **MCP Tokens**
3. Click **Add**, enter a name (e.g. `Claude Code`), and click **Create**
4. Copy the token (starts with `lmcp_`) — it won't be shown again

### 2. Set the token as an environment variable

Add this to your shell profile (`~/.zshrc`, `~/.bashrc`, etc.):

```sh
export LIGHT_MCP_TOKEN="lmcp_paste_your_token_here"
```

Then reload your shell:

```sh
source ~/.zshrc  # or ~/.bashrc
```

### 3. Install the plugin

In Claude Code, run:

```
/plugin marketplace add light-space/light-mcp
/plugin install light-mcp@light-mcp
```

Restart Claude Code. Light tools will appear in the tool list.

### Verify

Ask Claude Code:

> "What Light tools do you have available?"

If the connection is working, it will list the available Light tools.

## What's included

The plugin registers Light's remote MCP server (`https://api.light.inc/rest/ext/mcp`) which provides tools for:

- **Bills** — search, view details, and manage invoice payables
- **Vendors** — search and look up vendor/supplier information
- **Cards** — list and inspect corporate cards
- **Card transactions** — search, view, and modify draft transactions
- **Expenses** — view draft expenses and submit for reimbursement
- **Accounts** — search chart of accounts and tax codes
- **Users** — search team members
- **Tasks** — view pending approvals
- **Policy** — query company policies
- **Help articles** — browse Light platform documentation
