What an agent can do here

Spend management with an official MCP server over the Ramp developer API — transactions, cards, reimbursements and bill pay.

Core write

Agents can do the product’s core job — edit the timeline, ship the deploy, update the record.

Hosting
Vendor-hosted

Connect with a URL — nothing to install.
