The company positions itself as the leading player in its category to integrate invoice reconciliation and event management via the MCP protocol.

This announcement comes amid a period of rapid growth for the startup, which recently raised more than one billion euros in funding and whose presidency is held by the French Jean-Christophe Taunay-Bucalo.

For him, automating repetitive tasks constitutes a major productivity lever for businesses: “AI must restore to employees the power to do what they love most: their vocation, their mission. The MCP connector from Perk is another way to achieve that. If you remove the work that was never the real job, there remains room for growth and for the people who truly count.”

Thanks to this open standard protocol, users can now formulate simple queries such as “Which Q2 invoices are unpaid?” or “Show me all flight lines for our cost center in Boston” to obtain structured answers and download supporting documents in PDF. The tool also integrates Perk Events management, enabling tracking of registrations, venues, and upcoming seminar sessions.


A Response to the Demand for Automating Enterprise Workflows

The protocol integration addresses a shift in how businesses operate. According to an internal survey conducted in June 2026 among 420 organizations, nearly a quarter (23%) already configure or connect AI solutions to their existing systems, with business travel at the forefront of processes professionals want to automate.

Nikita Miller, Chief Product Officer at Perk, emphasizes the operational simplification brought by this update: “Every team in a company touches travel and expense data, but most still spend their time rummaging through reports and switching platforms to find simple answers. It is this invisible work that this MCP connector eliminates, meeting teams in the tools they already use.”

The data consultation service will be operational from launch. The technical roadmap foresees, during the summer of 2026, the introduction of writing capabilities that will allow directly making travel reservations, submitting expense reports, uploading receipts, and managing approval and modification flows from compatible AI assistants.

AirPlus, Kresus, and Mastercard Target Indirect Expenses for Businesses

AirPlus International and Kresus Technologies have forged a strategic partnership in collaboration with Mastercard. The aim: to offer European businesses a centralized solution for managing and paying for so-called « non-strategic» purchases.

The new offering combines AirPlus virtual cards, the technology platform developed by Kresus Technologies, and Mastercard’s global acceptance network.

According to the partners, this solution should enable finance and procurement teams to gain visibility and control over expenditures that are often dispersed and lightly governed.


Indirect spending can account for between 20% and 30% of total expenditures

Indirect spending includes digital subscriptions, one-off purchases, software license renewals, and certain urgent repairs. Although they are typically modest in individual value, they can represent between 20% and 30% of a company’s total expenditures, notes a press release.

The solution rests on three core features: payment acceptance, expense approval, and automated accounting integration. In practical terms, companies will be able to settle with suppliers, including those that do not traditionally accept card payments, without having to reference them in their purchasing systems.

Each transaction can also be routed through approval workflows configurable to the company’s internal policies.

Finally, payments will be automatically reconciled in the existing ERP and accounting tools, ensuring better alignment between cash flows and accounting.
