# Requests

> Card requests, multi-transfer requests, and approval workflows

Requests are the approval primitive Qonto uses for spend that needs a second pair of eyes: someone asks for a card or a transfer, and an approver reviews it. Visibility and what you can do depend on your role. The MCP server lets you list and create requests, and decline them. Approving a request is done by the approver in the Qonto web app — the MCP server hands you a link to the approve page rather than approving on your behalf.

| Tool                            | What it does                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    | Upstream                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |

| `list_requests`                 | Paginated list of expense-management requests (flash card, virtual card, transfer, multi-transfer). Visibility is role-scoped: employees see their own, managers their team's, admins and owners everything.                                                    | [List requests](/api-reference/business-api/expense-management/requests/list-requests)                                                                                                                                                      |
| `create_card_request`           | Create a card request (`flash` or `virtual`) for the authenticated membership. Needs approval before the card is issued.                                                                                                                                        | [Create a flash card request](/api-reference/business-api/expense-management/requests/create-a-flash-card-request) / [Create a virtual card request](/api-reference/business-api/expense-management/requests/create-a-virtual-card-request) |
| `create_multi_transfer_request` | Bundle 1 to 400 SEPA transfers into one approval batch. The approver later signs it with SCA in the Qonto web app.                                                                                                                                              | [Create a multi-transfer request](/api-reference/business-api/expense-management/requests/create-multi-transfer-request)                                                                                                                    |
| `approve_request`               | Returns a link to the approve page for a pending request in the Qonto web app. The MCP server does not approve on your behalf; the approver reviews and confirms there, where the underlying action (transfer execution, card issuance) and any SCA take place. | [Approve a request](/api-reference/business-api/expense-management/requests/approve-a-request)                                                                                                                                              |
| `decline_request`               | Decline a pending request. The request moves from `pending` to `declined`; the underlying action does not run.                                                                                                                                                  | [Decline a request](/api-reference/business-api/expense-management/requests/decline-a-request)                                                                                                                                              |

<Note>
  Approvals happen in the Qonto web app, not through the assistant. When you ask to approve a request, `approve_request` returns a link to the approve page; you review and confirm there, completing any Strong Customer Authentication in the Qonto mobile app when prompted.
