Frequently asked questions
Certify (Emburse Professional) scores D+ on Supergood's API Report Card. Emburse Professional (Certify) offers a REST API at api.certify.com/v1 covering expense, employee, company, and AP data. Auth is a static key and secret pair generated by a tenant admin, with no OAuth. The main reference is login-gated and PUT/POST semantics invert REST norms.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
Certify is a cloud-based travel, expense, and invoice (AP) management platform now sold under the brand Emburse Professional.
Vertical: Travel & Expense (with Accounts Payable via the Emburse Professional AP module). Mobile receipt capture via the Certify Mobile app with ReceiptParse OCR auto-extraction. Corporate card transaction feed ingestion (Amex, Visa, Mastercard) with auto-matching to receipts.
Strong mid-market presence; not market-dominant. Across the broader Emburse portfolio (Certify/Professional + Chrome River/Enterprise + Captio + Nexonia + Tallie + Abacus + Spring), Emburse reports serving more than 18,000 organizations and roughly 12 million users worldwide.
Expense reports: header (employee, report name, purpose, dates, currency, totals, status), line items (date, vendor, amount, category, payment type, GL code, department, project, attendees, allocations, notes), attached receipt images, policy violations, audit flags, approval history, reimbursement status.
Founded in 2008; ~18 years old as of 2026. Certify was an early SaaS-era T&E entrant, built later than Concur (1993) but earlier than Expensify (2008), Navan (2015), Ramp (2019), Brex (2017).
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official Certify (Emburse Professional) MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Certify (Emburse Professional) doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
