Ramp customers are running month-end with AI-assistants

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 through MCP and CLI servers, including Ramp.

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, NotionAI, 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 into his ERP entirely.

His view is that any company that does not adopt AI into their financial workflows will fall behind.

But he is deliberate about where the boundaries are. He does not approve or release payments through AI — that stays in Ramp’s product, where there is a full audit trail. He is 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. 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 are building next

More workflow coverage: The most common request we receive: more tools. We are 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.
