Set up the Ramp MCP server

The Ramp MCP server gives AI agents access to Ramp — querying spend data, transactions, and vendors, managing approvals and reimbursements, editing cards, and handling trips. This guide covers granting employee access in Ramp and connecting the Ramp MCP server to MintMCP.

Prerequisites​

  • A MintMCP admin account
  • A Ramp account
  • A Ramp admin to manage MCP access for employees
  • Each user needs their own Ramp login to complete OAuth consent

Grant employee access in Ramp​

Ramp admins control which employees can use the Ramp MCP server. Before connecting in MintMCP, grant access to the users who should be able to connect.

  1. In Ramp, go to Company > Integrations > Ramp MCP.
  2. Click Manage Access.
  3. Grant access to the roles, departments, or specific users who should be able to connect.

The Ramp MCP server respects each user's existing Ramp permissions — granting MCP access does not expand what a user can do beyond their current role.

Set up Ramp in MintMCP​

  1. Go to app.mintmcp.com/vmcps?tab=manage-store.
  2. Find the Ramp MCP server and click Install.
  3. In the Configure Ramp dialog, click Install to confirm the defaults:
    • Authorization Method: OAuth
    • Connection Type: Per-user credentials

Security considerations​

  • Each user authenticates with their own Ramp login via OAuth, so actions are tied to their individual identity and Ramp permissions.
  • Read-only sessions expire one week after last use; read-write sessions expire 24 hours after last use. Users will be prompted to re-authenticate when their session expires.
  • MCP access in Ramp is controlled by role, department, or individual — users not granted access in Company > Integrations > Ramp MCP cannot connect even if MintMCP is configured.
