Taking the Spendesk MCP product tour with Claude
Just connected the Spendesk MCP and not sure what to ask yet? There's a skill that takes the tour for you, on your real data, in under two minutes.
The right move before installing any specific skill
The other chapters of this guide assume you already know what to ask Claude. But the very first time you connect a new tool, the real question is often simpler: "I don't know what I can do with this yet — show me."
That's exactly what the MCP Product Tour skill does: a conversational, guided tour adapted to your role, with real calls on your own Spendesk data — not a generic demo.
How to trigger it
This skill downloads and installs like any other (see Getting started: install a skill), then triggers in plain language — no command to remember:

To go further, I can install one of these skills right now:
Which one interests you, or would you rather see the tour from another persona's perspective?
For every role: this tour isn't a scripted demo — the numbers Claude shows you are your own. If a result looks off, that's exactly the moment to dig in.
What's next?
Once the tour is done, two natural paths open up: install one of the recommended skills right away, or keep exploring with the next chapter to learn how to install any other skill from the library.
