# ramp-mcp: A Ramp MCP server
## Overview
A Model Context Protocol server for retrieving and analyzing data or running tasks for [Ramp](https://ramp.com) using [Developer API](https://docs.ramp.com/developer-api/v1/overview/introduction). In order to get around token and input size limitations, this server implements a simple ETL pipeline + ephemeral sqlite database in memory for analysis by an LLM. All requests are made to demo by default, but can be changed by setting `RAMP_ENV=prd`. Large datasets may not be processable due to API and/or your MCP client limitations.
### Tools
#### Database tools
Tools that can be used to setup, process, query, and delete an ephemeral database in memory.
1. `process_data`
2. `execute_query`
3. `clear_table`
#### Fetch tools
Tools that can be used to fetch data directly
1. `get_ramp_categories`
2. `get_currencies`
#### Load tools
Loads data to server which the client can fetch. Based on the tools you wish to use, ensure to enable those scopes on your
Ramp client and include the scopes when starting the server as a CLI argument.
| Tool | Scope |
| ------------------------- | ------------------- |
| load_transactions | transactions:read |
| load_reimbursements | reimbursements:read |
| load_bills | bills:read |
| load_locations | locations:read |
| load_departments | departments:read |
| load_bank_accounts | bank_accounts:read |
| load_vendors | vendors:read |
| load_vendor_bank_accounts | vendors:read |
| load_entities | entities:read |
| load_spend_limits | limits:read |
| load_spend_programs | spend_programs:read |
| load_users | users:read |
For large datasets, it is recommended to explicitly prompt Claude not to use REPL and to keep responses concise to avoid timeout or excessive token usage.
## Setup
### Ramp Setup
1. Create a new client from the Ramp developer page (Profile on top right > Developer > Create app)
2. Grant the scopes you wish (based on tools) to the client and enable client credentials (Click on App > Grant Types / Scopes)
3. Include the client ID and secret in the config file as well as the scopes you wish to use
### Local Setup
1. Clone this Github repo via `git clone [email protected]:ramp/ramp-mcp.git` or equivalent
2. Install [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
## Usage
Run the MCP server from your CLI with:
```bash
RAMP_CLIENT_ID=... RAMP_CLIENT_SECRET=... RAMP_ENV= uv run ramp-mcp -s
```
## Configuration
### Usage with Claude Desktop
Add this to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"ramp-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"//ramp-mcp", // make sure to update this path
"run",
"ramp-mcp",
"-s",
"transactions:read,reimbursements:read"
],
"env": {
"RAMP_CLIENT_ID": "",
"RAMP_CLIENT_SECRET": "",
"RAMP_ENV": ""
}
}
}
}
```
