Health Warn
- License — License: MIT
- Description — Repository has a description

Permissions Pass
- Permissions — No dangerous permissions requested
This server acts as a bridge between MCP clients and the Ramp Developer API, allowing users to retrieve and analyze financial data. It utilizes an ephemeral in-memory SQLite database to process large datasets and bypass token limitations.
Security Assessment
The tool accesses highly sensitive data, requiring your Ramp Client ID and Secret via environment variables to read transactions, bank accounts, and financial statements. It makes external network requests to the Ramp API. The code scan found no hardcoded secrets or dangerous patterns, and it does not request overly broad system permissions. However, running it against live data (`RAMP_ENV=prd`) inherently exposes sensitive financial information to the LLM client. Overall risk is assessed as Medium.
Quality Assessment
The repository is properly licensed under the permissive MIT license and has earned a decent level of community trust with 32 GitHub stars. The primary concern is that the project appears to be unmaintained, as the last push to the repository was over a year ago (412 days). The codebase is small (11 files) and passed a light automated security audit.
Verdict
Use with caution: the code itself is clean and safe, but its inactive maintenance status and access to sensitive financial data require careful deployment and strict environment variable management.
ramp_mcp
ramp-mcp: A Ramp MCP server
Overview
A Model Context Protocol server for retrieving and analyzing data or running tasks for Ramp using Developer API. In order to get around token and input size limitations, this server implements a simple ETL pipeline + ephemeral sqlite database in memory for analysis by an LLM. All requests are made to demo by default, but can be changed by setting RAMP_ENV=prd. Large datasets may not be processable due to API and/or your MCP client limitations.
Tools
Database tools
Tools that can be used to setup, process, query, and delete an ephemeral database in memory.
process_dataexecute_queryclear_table
Fetch tools
Tools that can be used to fetch data directly
get_ramp_categoriesget_currencies
Load tools
Loads data to server which the client can fetch. Based on the tools you wish to use, ensure to enable those scopes on your
Ramp client and include the scopes when starting the server as a CLI argument.
| Tool | Scope |
|---|---|
| load_transactions | transactions:read |
| load_reimbursements | reimbursements:read |
| load_bills | bills:read |
| load_locations | locations:read |
| load_departments | departments:read |
| load_bank_accounts | bank_accounts:read |
| load_vendors | vendors:read |
| load_vendor_bank_accounts | vendors:read |
| load_entities | entities:read |
| load_spend_limits | limits:read |
| load_spend_programs | spend_programs:read |
| load_users | users:read |
For large datasets, it is recommended to explicitly prompt Claude not to use REPL and to keep responses concise to avoid timeout or excessive token usage.
Setup
Ramp Setup
- Create a new client from the Ramp developer page (Profile on top right > Developer > Create app)
- Grant the scopes you wish (based on tools) to the client and enable client credentials (Click on App > Grant Types / Scopes)
- Include the client ID and secret in the config file as well as the scopes you wish to use
Local Setup
- Clone this Github repo via
git clone [email protected]:ramp/ramp-mcp.gitor equivalent - Install
