FAQs
The questions people ask before connecting an agent to their spend.
What is Cardboard MCP?
Cardboard MCP lets you connect AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP compatible clients to Cardboard. Once connected, your agent can help with approved Cardboard workflows: finding missing receipts, preparing exports, reviewing spend, and answering finance questions.
What can I use Cardboard MCP for?
Finding missing receipts and building reminder lists, preparing CSV exports, formatting spend data, reviewing software spend, spotting overlapping vendors, and building your own finance automations.
Which AI tools work with Cardboard MCP?
Any client that supports MCP can connect. That includes Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, IDEs, and custom internal agents, depending on how each one supports MCP.
Can I use Cardboard MCP for spend analysis?
Yes. You can ask about spend by vendor, software overlap, marketing and departmental spend, missing receipts, and which vendors need a review.
Is the MCP secure to use?
Yes. Agents get only the permissions you approve. When you connect one you are shown a consent screen where you choose what it may do on your behalf, so it never receives unlimited access to your account. Admins can revoke a connection at any time, and every action an agent takes is logged and timestamped.
How much does the MCP cost?
MCP is included in the Basic, Pro, and Business plans. There is no additional cost.
