Perplexity

Run audits via Claude Code

You can trigger a headless script that uses `list_expense_reports` to grab the latest submissions directly from your shell. DevOps engineers shouldn't have to log into a web portal to check billing data when they live in the terminal. The CLI agent parses the output and pipes it into your preferred format. It calls `list_certify_receipts` to verify documentation exists, dumping the missing records into a local text file for your review.

Sync AP data in CI/CD

Drop this MCP Server into a GitHub Action and let the agent call `list_invoice_reports` on a cron schedule. Automating financial data backups usually requires maintaining custom Python scripts, but this replaces that entirely. Fetching the underlying bills happens next. The terminal client runs `list_certify_invoices`, formats the JSON payload, and pushes the sanitized data to your secure data warehouse automatically.

Extract GL dimensions fast

Your agent executes `get_gl_dimensions` right from the command line to pull the active configuration. Updating your internal routing tables with new accounting codes is tedious work that you can now avoid. Mapping those codes to your staff is just as quick. The toolchain uses `list_certify_users` alongside `list_certify_departments` to generate an updated YAML config, ready for you to commit to the repository.

Common questions about Certify (Emburse) MCP in Claude Code

Run the MCP add command in your terminal using the HTTP transport flag. Make sure you place the flags before the server name. Use the list command afterward to confirm it registered in your config file.

That is exactly what this MCP setup is for. You can write a bash script that tells the agent to fetch specific date ranges and pipe the results into jq for processing.

The agent handles pagination natively by reading the API responses. If a list of expenses exceeds the limit, it will automatically request the next batch until the job is done.

Verify that your container has outbound network access to the Vinkius endpoint. The headless client needs to reach the remote URL to execute the tools over HTTP.

We handle all authentication server-side so your local machine never stores the raw API keys. The invoice data passes through a temporary V8 Isolate Sandbox. Vinkius tears down the environment the moment the connection closes.
