Perk (formerly TravelPerk), a travel and spend management platform, has launched its MCP (Model Context Protocol) connector. The company, according to an announcement, is the first platform to offer travel, spend, invoicing and events through a single AI integration.
MCP is the open standard that lets AI assistants connect directly to workplace software. Perk MCP, said the announcement, gives finance teams, travel managers and employees the ability to link Perk to Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible assistants, accessing their data through natural language.
Perk customers, according to the announcement, have been clear about what they want from AI: less manual admin, faster answers and the ability to manage travel and spend without switching tools.
According to the announcement, Perk is the first travel and spend platform to give finance teams access to travel invoices via MCP, including line-item breakdowns and PDF downloads on demand. They can ask: “Which invoices from Q2 are unpaid?” or “Show me all flight line items for our Boston cost center” and get structured answers in seconds.
Perk’s MCP, said the announcement, is also the first in its category to give event managers AI access to their full events program. With Perk Events now integrated via MCP, teams can query upcoming sessions, locations, attendee details and RSVP status directly.
With the MCP, said the announcement, Perk users can get answers on their daily travel and spend tasks from inside the AI tools they already use. Travelers can check trip status, bookings, pending expenses and card transactions. Finance teams can search expenses, download structured spend reports and view corporate card spend across the organization. Travel managers can monitor pending approvals, query travel policy rules, and audit users by role, cost center or approval process to close setup gaps fast.
Nikita Miller, chief product officer, said: “Every team in a business touches travel and spend data, but most of them are still digging through reports and switching platforms to find simple answers. That’s the shadow work this MCP connector removes, meeting teams inside the tools they already use.”
Jean-Christophe Taunay-Bucalo, COO, said: “AI should give back the power to employees to do what they love the most, their vocation, their purpose. The Perk MCP connector is one more way we’re making that happen. If you cut the work that was never the job, what’s left is space for the growth and people that actually matter.”
The Perk MCP connector is live and available to Perk’s customers with more capabilities on the way. This summer, said the announcement, Perk will expand the functionality to enable travel booking, expense submission, receipt upload, event logistics, trip modifications and approval flows.
