Perplexity

Move money without leaving the chat

You can execute same-day wire transfers directly inside your Claude Desktop chat using the `increase_create_wire` tool. The agent formats the routing numbers and handles the payload validation before initiating the transaction. This cuts out the manual banking portal entirely. If you need to push regular payments to vendors, the `increase_create_ach` tool handles standard domestic bank transfers. This MCP integration lets you tell the agent who to pay and how much, and it builds the transfer object in your sandbox or production account.

Instantly spin up virtual debit cards

The `increase_create_card` tool allows you to issue virtual or physical debit cards on demand right inside your workspace. Your agent writes the configuration for the card constraints and maps it to a specific funding source. Once generated, you can inspect active cards using `increase_list_cards` to audit current spending limits. This lets your team provision unique cards for specific SaaS subscriptions during conversations with the agent.

Manage accounts with this MCP Server

Programmatic bank account creation is handled by the `increase_create_account` tool to set up new ledgers instantly. You can organize your corporate funds into distinct sub-accounts without clicking through bank forms. To keep track of these funds, your agent uses `increase_get_balance` to pull real-time ledger figures. You always know exactly how much cash is available before initiating any outbound payments.
