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.

Perk Integrates Visa Management Directly into the Booking Process

Visa management is now integrated into the business travel booking journey on Perk. The platform, formerly known as TravelPerk, announces the launch of Entry Ready, described as the first integrated workflow that enables managing and paying for eVisas and electronic travel authorizations without leaving the reservation tool.

The feature automatically analyzes entry requirements from the traveler’s passport details. It then enables initiating a request and settling the associated fees directly within Perk.

Entry Ready is now available to all Perk customers.

The service offers more than 60 eVisas and AVEs thanks to a partnership with Sherpa, a platform specializing in visa solutions.

Sherpa relies on artificial intelligence and more than 350 government relationships to monitor entry conditions. According to Perk, conditions are updated 92% of the time ahead of those of other providers.

The requests processed through Sherpa are also 20% faster than those submitted directly on government portals.


More than 60 eVisas and AVEs available

The deployment of Entry Ready unfolded in two steps.

Since January 2026, Perk automatically displayed the applicable entry conditions for a trip based on the traveler’s passport profile, even before the booking was finalized. This first phase allowed analyzing more than half a million trips and flagging potential visa obligations.

The launch announced on July 23, 2026 adds integrated payment. Travelers can now request and pay for their eVisa or AVE directly at the time of paying for their booking on Perk.

For companies, travel document costs can thus be consolidated on a single line with other travel-related expenses.


A second project born from the Real Work Incubator

Entry Ready is the second project launched by Perk as part of its Real Work Incubator.

The program had already produced Perk Events, an AI-powered module for planning team events, launched in January 2026.
