Taking the Spendesk MCP product tour with a Dust agent
The Spendesk MCP was just connected to your Dust workspace and you're 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 configuring a specific agent
The other chapters of this guide assume you already know what to ask your Dust agent. But the very first time the Spendesk MCP gets connected to your workspace, the real question is often simpler: "I don't know what we 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
On Dust, this skill isn't a file to download: it's the content of a skill from the library that you paste as an agent's system instructions (see Getting started: setting up MCP tools in Dust). Once pasted, trigger it in plain language:
I just connected the Spendesk MCP, show me what you can do. I'm a [your role: CFO / Controller / AP Manager / Finance Analyst / Procurement].
If you don't specify your role, the agent will ask before starting.
What happens next
The agent will: run 2-3 real calls tailored to your role, explain what they reveal in plain language, honestly flag one current MCP limitation relevant to you, then recommend 2-3 skills to add to its instructions next.

Happy to. Let me check your overdue supplier invoices.
What I found in your account:
Worth knowing: I can analyze your invoices and suppliers, but I can't yet approve a batch of invoices in one action. Exactly one write action exists today on the supplier side: archiving a supplier.
To go further, I can add one of these skills to my instructions:
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 the agent 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: add one of the recommended skills to your agent right away, or keep exploring with the next chapter to learn how to set up the MCP in Dust in detail.
