Ramp

Corporate cards, expenses, and bill pay with a $0 plan, an official remote MCP, and a CLI with an agentic-purchase skill.

Operable ProductAPI / service Deterministic MCP server

Ramp is a hosted spend platform: cards, expense management, accounts payable, and accounting sync to QuickBooks and Xero on a free plan. Ramp publishes an MCP server at mcp.ramp.com/mcp (demo data at demo-mcp.ramp.com) and a CLI over the same agent-tools backend, so an agent can search transactions, approve or reject requests, code transactions, submit reimbursements, and, with Agent Cards, make a scoped one-time purchase.

Use it when
  • we run our cards and expenses on Ramp's free plan and want the agent to code last week's transactions and chase missing receipts before the QuickBooks sync
  • we want an agent to buy a scoped item once with a merchant-locked card instead of sharing a company card number
Gotchas
  • US businesses only; card approval is an underwriting step, not a signup
  • Custom MCP clients need redirect-URI allowlisting through Ramp support before production; the shared Ramp OAuth client must be used
  • Read-write sessions expire 24 hours after last use; admins control MCP access per employee under Integrations
  • CLI is built on api.ramp.com/agent-tools, which is closed to external clients

Operable: what an agent can drive

Interface

OfficialMCP serverpublished by the builderremote

How an agent can drive an Operable Listing, in five levels: native (built for the agent as the primary interface), official (the Builder ships an agent interface), wrapped (a third party wraps the software's API), config (an agent can only drive it by editing files), gui (screen control only). An interface is official only when it is published by the same organization that ships the software. GUI-level Listings are allowed and sorted last.
