2,500+ businesses have connected Ramp to an AI assistant since January
Until 2026, every finance AI tool required credentials, custom code, and ongoing developer maintenance. A new standard now lets AI assistants connect directly to business software like Ramp via MCP and CLI servers.
MCP and CLI servers are lightweight “connectors” that let an AI assistant (or your terminal) securely talk to Ramp, so you can ask questions or take actions without building an integration yourself.
Controllers, finance managers, and business owners now run month-end close, reconcile bills, and approve expenses through Claude, ChatGPT, Notion AI, or their terminal.
"All I do is Claude these days"
One controller at a logistics technology company has spent over 10 hours tuning Claude to generate financial statements, run flux analysis, conduct internal audits, and build one-click reporting. His goal: run as much of his month-end close and AP process through Claude as possible — and avoid logging in to his ERP entirely.
His view is that any company that doesn’t adopt AI into their financial workflows will fall behind.
But he’s deliberate about where the boundaries are. He doesn’t approve or release payments through AI — that stays in Ramp’s product, where there’s a full audit trail. He’s comfortable letting Claude communicate with vendors, but not yet with customers.
The pattern across early AI adopters is clear: push AI as far as it can go for speed and analysis, but keep humans in the loop for approvals and external communication.
What businesses are doing with Ramp’s MCP and CLI
Since January, adoption of Ramp’s MCP and CLI has grown from 275 businesses to 2,500+. Here are their most common workflows:
What they are doing | % of users who connect weekly |
|---|---|
Pulling spend breakdowns by category, vendor, or month | 52% |
Searching bills, matching invoices, checking payment status | 38% |
Finding missing memos, flagging unsynced transactions | 33% |
Auditing reimbursements and GL codes | 14% |
Batch-approving transactions and reviewing policy exceptions | 12% |
60% of weekly users are business owners, and 36% are business admins — finance operators, not developers. These users aren’t just using Ramp’s MCP and CLI to ask questions. 62% of usage is completion-oriented work like coding transactions, attaching receipts, and approving requests.
50+ finance tools are live today, accessible through a conversation
The same Ramp platform that manages your cards, bills, expenses, and travel now gives AI assistants direct access to act on your data via MCP or CLI. Just ask your AI assistant to:
- Pull every uncoded transaction from last week
- Find the receipt for a specific vendor charge
- Show which bills are pending approval and for how long
- Flag transactions missing memos or out of policy
Get answers in seconds from data already in Ramp — no exports, no spreadsheets.
What we’re building next
More workflow coverage: The most common request we receive: more tools. We’re building for approvals, bill creation, invoice management, accounting coding, procurement intake, and so much more.
Contextual intelligence: Today, coding a transaction through an AI assistant gives you a list of GL categories. Soon, Ramp will suggest the right one based on your company's policies and past behavior.
Agent Cards (alpha): As AI moves from answering questions to taking action, you need a way to give agents access to company funds without giving up control.
Ramp Agent Cards are corporate cards issued directly to AI agents with real spend limits, merchant controls, and full transaction visibility. The same governance that applies to every employee now applies to every agent.
