  "summary": "Spendesk is automatable today through its official MCP server. This record is the Spendesk spend-management product. The help guide, last updated July 2026 and marked available to all customers on 4 August 2026, says an account owner or admin generates OAuth client credentials under Settings, Integrations, AI Connections. The server URL is https://public-api.spendesk.com/v1/mcp. The token endpoint is https://public-api.spendesk.com/v1/oauth2/token/create and the authorization endpoint is https://public-api.spendesk.com/v1/oauth2/authorize. Only account owners and controllers can query. Employees cannot. Access is read-only. Documented clients are Dust, Claude, and ChatGPT. Multi-entity accounts can enable an organisation-level option when generating credentials. Example prompts cover spend by cost center, unexported supplier invoices, and top suppliers. A separate public REST API, SDK, CLI, and webhook contract were not established on the pages opened for this pass. Connector catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. MCP scores 6 because the server is official and useful for finance questions, and read-only access plus the owner and controller gate are material limits.\n"
