Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

One connector, every AI

Spendesk works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Spendesk to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 9 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Spendesk, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Spendesk. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Spendesk owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need real-time financial visibility without leaving their technical or operational environments.

  • 01

  • 02

    Operations Managers

    They task their agent with building budget summaries and software spend reports.

FAQ

Questions Spendesk owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect Spendesk to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and provide your Spendesk Access Token. Once connected, you can use it immediately in compatible clients like Claude or Cursor.

  • 02

    Do I need to log in to Spendesk to check my budget?

    No. Once the MCP is connected, your AI client can check budget status and card limits using the list_budgets and list_cards capabilities.

  • 03

    Can I see employee expense claims?

    Yes. You can use the list_expense_claims capability to view all employee out-of-pocket reimbursement requests.

  • 04

    Is my financial data secure?

    Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages your credentials securely, allowing your AI client to interact with Spendesk via your provided access token.

  • 05

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

    This MCP works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 06

    Can the AI perform destructive actions like making a real payment or deleting invoices?

    No. The integration focuses strongly on extraction via READ endpoints (e.g. list_payments, list_budgets, list_expense_claims). It is designed to act as an advanced analytical viewing lens allowing you to query, organize, and monitor financial positions without executing operational mutations like transferring money.

  • 07

    How can the AI help me understand a specific expense claim?

    You can provide the Expense ID from your list_expense_claims search and ask natural questions. The AI will pull the structured data and explain explicitly who submitted the reimbursement, the exact amount, the associated spending currency, and the current processing status, formatting it all into an easily digestible summary.

  • 08

    How deep is the Spendesk token scoped? Is it secure?

    The integration is secure. Your Vinkius Agent runs strictly client-side on your PC. It queries the API using the explicit Bearer Token you manage. Spendesk's token access capabilities can also be carefully constrained natively from your Organization's Integration Settings to further enforce least privilege.
