What is the Ramp MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Ramp MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Ramp account. It provides structured and secure access to your company's financial data, so your agent can fetch transactions, analyze card activity, generate statements, manage departments, and retrieve detailed expense information on your behalf.

  • Comprehensive transaction tracking: Instantly pull lists of all your business transactions or your own card activity, making it easy to monitor expenses and spot anomalies.
  • Card management and insights: Retrieve details about specific Ramp cards or see all cards assigned to you, including limits, status, and cardholder info for better financial oversight.
  • Automated statement generation: Ask your agent to generate and download account statements in multiple formats (PDF, CSV, JSON) for reporting or bookkeeping.
  • Department and organizational management: Create new departments or fetch detailed department profiles to help structure your expense tracking and categorize spending.
  • Detailed transaction analysis: Dive into specific transactions to get merchant information, receipts, dispute details, and accounting codes for audit and compliance purposes.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, you can. Claude Cowork fully supports MCP integration. You get structured tool calling, message history handling, and model orchestration while Tool Router takes care of discovering and serving the right Ramp tools.

Yes, absolutely. You can configure which Ramp scopes and actions are allowed when connecting your account to Composio. You can also bring your own OAuth credentials or API configuration so you keep full control over what the agent can do.
