# Coupa MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Coupa and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 559 Coupa actions (235 reads, 278 writes and 46 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Coupa credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Coupa's limits and records every call.

[Connect Coupa free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing)

100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

`claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`

the first call

```
do {
  action: "coupa.invoices.list",
  intent: "check which Coupa account is connected"
}
# Query invoices · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 559 actions in one signed file
- 235 read look, never change
- 278 write create and update
- 46 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Coupa in three steps.

1. 01
   ### Add actionlake to Claude.
   Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.
   `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`
2. 02
   ### Connect Coupa.
   OAuth 2.0, client credentials. Paste the app's client id and secret; actionlake fetches and renews the token, and nobody has to sign in. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
   - `client_id` Client ID of a Coupa OAuth2/OpenID Connect client with grant type Client credentials
   - `client_secret` Client secret of the same OAuth client (shown on the client's page)
   - `host` Where your Coupa lives: your host
   - `scopes` Your Coupa scopes
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "coupa" }
   # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
   ```
3. 03
   ### Make the first call. Check before a write.
   Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free.
   ```
   do    { action: "coupa.invoices.list" }
   # query invoices · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "coupa.invoices.create", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

## The Coupa API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 69 of Coupa's 69 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Coupa actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   Which Coupa invoices are more than 30 days overdue? Group them by customer with the total owed.
   calls `coupa.invoices.list`
2. Write write
   Creates an invoice in draft status in Coupa. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `coupa.invoices.create`
3. Across systems read
   For each customer, how many invoices are in Coupa and how many tickets in ConnectWise PSA?
   calls `coupa.invoices.list` `connectwise_manage.tickets.list`

Across your systems

## Coupa, joined to the rest of your business.

One `ask` fetches from Coupa and another system, joins the rows on the same customer on our side, and hands your agent the answer, not every row.

- For each customer, how many invoices are in Coupa and how many tickets in ConnectWise PSA?
  `coupa.invoices.list` + `connectwise_manage.tickets.list`, on `crm.company` · [ConnectWise PSA](https://actionlake.com/connectors/connectwise-psa)
- For each customer, how many invoices are in Coupa and how many tickets in HubSpot CRM?
  `coupa.invoices.list` + `hubspot_crm.tickets.list`, on `crm.company` · [HubSpot CRM](https://actionlake.com/connectors/hubspot-crm)

Also mapped by other connectors `identity.user` **517** `work.project` **116** `finance.invoice` **91** `asset.supplier` **38** `hr.department` **36** `finance.purchase_order` **35** `finance.expense_report` **5**

ask

```
ask {
  intent: "for each customer, how many invoices are in Coupa and how many tickets in ConnectWise PSA",
  steps: [
    { action: "coupa.invoices.list", as: "inv", input: {}, limit: 100, max_pages: 5 },
    { action: "connectwise_manage.tickets.list", as: "tix", input: {}, limit: 100, max_pages: 5 },
    { join: {
        left: "inv",
        right: "tix",
        on: "crm.company",
        group_by: "inv.company_name",
        select: ["inv.company_name", "count(inv.id) as invoices", "count(tix.id) as tickets"]
    } }
  ]
}
```

Example. Run it through check first: it validates the steps and prices them, and it is free.

Governance for Coupa

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

46 Coupa actions are destructive. The first 10:

- Void invoices `coupa.invoices.void`
- Cancel `coupa.purchase_orders.cancel`
- Delete expense line `coupa.expense_lines.delete`
- Delete task `coupa.tasks.delete`
- Delete requisition `coupa.requisitions.delete`
- Log out (CSP)iframe session `coupa.suppliers.logout_iframe_session`
- Reverse payable allocations `coupa.payable_allocations.reverse`
- Mark Order as Ready to Pay `coupa.payable_orders.ready_to_pay`
- Mark Order as Paid Externally `coupa.payable_orders.pay_externally`
- Mark Invoice Payable as Paid and stop tracking in Coupa `coupa.payable_invoices.pay_externally`

A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

do coupa.invoices.void confirm_policy: **human**

Void invoices?

**intent:** the user asked me to void invoices

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _coupa-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "coupa-agent",

  approval_rules: [

    { match: "coupa.expense_lines.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }

Questions

## The Coupa MCP server, answered.

**Is there a Coupa MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 559 Coupa actions across contracts, invoices, requisitions and purchase orders, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Coupa.

**What do I need to connect Coupa?**

Client ID of a Coupa OAuth2/OpenID Connect client with grant type Client credentials and Client secret of the same OAuth client (shown on the client's page). Plus your host and your scopes. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "coupa" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in Coupa?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 46 Coupa actions are destructive, including void invoices, cancel and delete expense line. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

**Will an AI agent use up my Coupa API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Coupa service file: 25 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (234 Coupa actions can be), which never reaches Coupa.

**What does a Coupa action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (559 Coupa actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Coupa refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

**Which Coupa API does it cover?**

The Coupa Core API (REST, JSON), reference as published on Coupa Compass 2026-10 at your Coupa instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from Coupa's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 559 actions in 123 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Can I combine Coupa with my other systems?**

Yes. ask joins Coupa to ConnectWise PSA or HubSpot CRM on the same customer and returns the answer rather than every row. Coupa maps work.project, which 116 other connectors also map.

**Does actionlake keep my Coupa data, and where?**

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Coupa credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

**Which AI clients can use it?**

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
