How to Connect SAP Concur to MCP for AI Agents

SAP Concur with AI Agents

SAP Concur is the leading travel and expense management platform. Connecting Concur to MCP enables AI agents to query expense reports, access travel bookings, and automate approval workflows.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Deploy AnythingMCP

git clone https://github.com/HelpCode-ai/anythingmcp.git
cd anythingmcp && docker compose up -d

Step 2: Create a REST Connector

Open the AnythingMCP dashboard at http://localhost:3000 and create a new REST connector. Set the base URL to the Concur API endpoint (e.g., https://us.api.concursolutions.com/api/v3.0).

Step 3: Configure Authentication

In the connector settings, configure OAuth 2.0 with your Concur application credentials from the SAP Concur Developer Center.

Step 4: Import and Customize Tools

Configure endpoints for expense reports, receipts, travel requests, and approval workflows in the dashboard.

Step 5: Test and Connect

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "concur": {
      "url": "http://localhost:4000/mcp"
    }
  }
}

AI Agent Use Cases

• "Show all pending expense reports awaiting my approval"
• "What's the total travel spend for the Engineering team this quarter?"
• "List all expense reports submitted this month"
• "Are there any policy violations in recent expense reports?"

Best Practices

1. Company-level tokens — Use Company tokens for organization-wide access
2. Expense policies — Map Concur expense policies to tool validation rules
3. Rate limits — Concur APIs have strict rate limiting
4. Data sensitivity — Expense data contains personal financial information
