(Brex) - "Which Cledara applications renewed this month and what did each cost?" (Cledara) - "Summarize last week's Ramp transactions by accounting account." (Ramp) - "Which Zip requests are waiting on approval this week?" (Zip) ## What an agent can call in Spend Management 559 tools across the category.

Each one arrives as a set of MCP tools an agent can call through https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. ### Can Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor all use Spend Management connectors? Yes. Elaichi exposes one organization-wide endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, and Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any MCP client and the Elaichi Agent all connect to that same address with OAuth. Connecting a Spend Management account once makes it reachable from every one of them. ### Do Spend Management connectors work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients? Yes. Spend Management connectors are reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call them — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent. There is no per-client setup beyond pointing the client at https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. ### Do Spend Management connectors need me to bring my own OAuth app? Most do not. 1 of the Spend Management connectors uses Elaichi's hosted sign-in, with nothing to register. 3 connect with an API key or app credentials that an admin pastes once, with no app to register. 1 asks you to bring your own OAuth app: you register it once with the vendor and connect. Hosted sign-in for those is in progress, a vendor partnership at a time, and when one lands the only thing that changes is that the registration step goes away. Each connector's page says which it is before you start. ### Can I stop an agent from writing to Spend Management tools? Yes. Tool restrictions apply at role and individual level, and a restricted tool is never advertised to the model, so it cannot be called or guessed at from the tool list. Read-only access to a Spend Management connector is a matter of allowing the reads and leaving the writes out. ### Whose access does an agent get on a shared Spend Management connection? The access of the person the agent is acting for, resolved against their current role on every call — not the access of whoever connected the account. A colleague can use a connection without ever seeing its credential. [Browse the full connector catalog](https://elaichi.ai/connectors/)
