Use cases
What teams do with Ramp through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Controllers
Limit which options cardholders can choose
Set filter rules on Ramp accounting fields so a team only sees the departments or cost centers that apply to it, and clear out old rules in bulk when the structure changes.
-
Finance systems
Check on the accounting connection
Ask which accounting connections Ramp has, whether one needs reactivating, and mark a connection ready to migrate when the company moves to a new ledger.
-
Accounting
Code spend to the right account
Create an accounting coding in Ramp that ties spend to the correct account, department and class ahead of the close, instead of fixing it after the export.
-
Operations
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.
Try asking
- “Summarize last week's Ramp transactions by accounting account.”
- “Which Ramp cards spent most this month?”
- “List Ramp accounting connections added since April.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Ramp to Claude?
Two steps. First connect Ramp in Elaichi: Ramp connects over OAuth, but it needs an OAuth application you register inside Ramp yourself, so somebody with admin rights brings a client ID and secret once, and after that everyone signs in with their own Ramp login. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Nobody else on the team handles a credential from that point on.
Does Ramp work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Ramp is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Ramp once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Ramp data?
With Ramp connected, you can ask for a list of your accounting accounts, add or rename one, review the department, location and class options cardholders pick from, set rules for which options each team sees, create accounting codings, and check on or reactivate your accounting connections. Ramp exposes a lot of actions, so short concrete asks work best, such as "list our Ramp accounting field options" rather than a long paragraph.
Does connecting Ramp give the AI everything in my Ramp account?
No. Every request to Ramp runs as the person who signed in, so the AI can only see and change what that person's own Ramp role already allows. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to read-only on the chart of accounts, but it can never grant more than the person has in Ramp.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Ramp?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow listing Ramp accounting accounts while blocking deletes, updates or bulk removals of field options. A blocked action is never shown to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor at all, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to a Ramp connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Ramp through every AI client ends at once. If they had shared a Ramp connection with the team, it keeps working for everyone else. Disconnecting Ramp once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.
