FAQ from Brex MCP Server

What does Brex MCP Server do?

It connects AI assistants to the Brex API, allowing read-only retrieval of expenses, budgets, transactions, and accounts, plus receipt matching/upload.

What are the dependencies?

Node.js and npm are required. An active Brex API key must be provided as the BREX_API_KEY environment variable.

Where does Brex data live?

Data is fetched live from the Brex API. The server does not store any Brex data locally.

What transports and authentication are used?

The server uses stdio transport (MCP protocol) and authenticates via a Brex API key set as an environment variable.

Are there any limits or restrictions?

Cash endpoints require additional Brex scopes (return 403 if missing). Pagination is limited to page_size ≤50 and max_items ≤200. Large expansions can produce very large payloads; filtering is strongly recommended.
