In practice

What teams do with Spend Management connectors

Drawn from the connector pages in this category, so every line describes something one of these connectors actually does.

Finance

  • Tidy up departments, locations and classes

    List every accounting field option in Ramp, spot duplicates and stale entries, and rename or retire them so cardholders stop picking the wrong one.

  • Check which approval policy applies

    Ask how bills above a certain amount are routed today, and adjust or add an approval policy when a new spending threshold comes in.

  • Zip

    Review pending approvals before month end

    Pull the list of open approvals in Zip and check which ones will land in this period's numbers, without opening each request one by one.

Operations

  • See spend by merchant and cost center

    Query Brex expense analytics to see which merchants, cost centers and locations are driving spend this quarter, in plain language.

  • Answer what we pay for something

    When someone asks how much the company spends on a tool, the answer comes from live Cledara transactions rather than a spreadsheet from last quarter.

  • Stand up a new entity's accounting setup

    Create the accounting entity in Ramp for a newly acquired company, then add its accounts and field options so its spend is coded properly from the first month.

Accounting

  • Keep the chart of accounts current

    When a new general ledger account is opened in the ERP, add the matching accounting account in Ramp and fix the name or code on an existing one without opening the settings screen.

  • Fix memos on card expenses after the fact

    Catch up the memo on a Brex expense after a call with the cardholder so the expense category and purpose are clear at month end.

  • Fetch the invoice behind any card charge

    Give the AI a transaction and get the Cledara invoice link straight back, ready to attach to the ledger entry.

Procurement

  • Zip

    See where a purchase request is stuck

    Ask which Zip requests are still waiting and who has not approved yet, then follow up with the right person before the deadline slips.

  • Spot overlapping tools before renewal

    Ask which Cledara applications do similar jobs and what each has cost this year, so the renewal decision is made with the numbers in front of you.

  • Zip

    Keep vendor records accurate

    Add a new supplier to Zip after a sourcing call, or correct a vendor's details when their contact or payment information changes.

Tool counts are what the connector exposes today; the split is what those tools do.

Hosted sign-in takes a partnership with each vendor, and more are in progress. Until one lands, Your own app means the connector works today — you register an OAuth app once and connect. API key and App credentials mean an admin pastes them once, with nothing to register.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many Spend Management connectors does Elaichi have?

5+ Spend Management connectors are in the catalog today, and the list grows as connectors are added. 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.
