FAQ on the Payhawk MCP

Prev Next

This article provides answers to some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQ) related to the Payhawk MCP.

Can the AI Assistant change anything in my Payhawk account?

Yes, with your confirmation. As well as looking up and summarizing data, your AI Assistant can take actions such as recoding expenses, approving items, freezing cards, and creating purchase orders. Every change shows a preview first and waits for your confirmation. It never starts a payment or a transfer - money movement always happens in the Payhawk Web Portal or the Payhawk Mobile App.

Who can see the answers?

Only you, in your own conversation. Results are scoped to your Payhawk login, so two colleagues with different permissions may get different answers to the same question.

Is the connector the same in Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex?

Yes. It is built on an open standard (Model Context Protocol), so its capabilities and data protections are identical across them. Some UI components, such as flight or approval widgets, don't render in Codex - there you get the answer as text.
