## Description

Sets a user's recurring monthly spend limit, replacing any limit already in place. This governs corporate cards (`Limit Type` = `USER`); vendor cards carry their own limit set on the card itself. Use **List Users** to find the user ID and **Get User Limit** to read the current limit. [See the documentation](https://developer.brex.com/openapi/team_api/users/setuserlimit)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `user` | `string` | Yes | The person whose monthly limit is being set, as a Brex user ID, e.g. cuuser_ckze72soa117f01pkmf1wcpl3. Use List Users to find a user ID by email address. |
| `amount` | `integer` | Yes | The monthly limit, in the currency's smallest denomination — 100000 is $1,000.00 in USD. |
| `currency` | `string` | No | The type of currency, in ISO 4217 format. Default to USD if not specified |

  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "brex-set-limit-for-user",
  arguments: {
    user: "User",
    amount: 10,
  },
})
