- The Model Context Protocol connector lets a finance team run financial operations on their accounts through AI tools
- The agent can retrieve live balances, FX quotes and payment status, and prepare a currency exchange, a new beneficiary or payment instruction
- Every instruction is presented to the customer for confirmation, and existing Sokin approval rules apply before settlement
LONDON, Aug. 14, 2026: Sokin, the global financial platform powering how businesses transact, manage and optimize money in an agentic world, has connected its licensed payment infrastructure to customers' AI tools, releasing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector. The MCP lets a finance team use AI such as Chat GPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity for a range of tasks such as creating a live cash position estimate or preparing a cross-border payment for approval without leaving the conversation.
"In an agent rush, the advantage sits with whoever owns the infrastructure underneath," said Vroon Modgill, founder and CEO of Sokin. "The Sokin MCP makes our licensed infrastructure directly accessible where clients will ultimately conduct and orchestrate financial operations in the future; through AI.”
In addition to information retrieval, the MCP connector can create a beneficiary, prepare a currency exchange between supported wallets, and prepare a payment. In each case, the customer’s AI tool assembles the instruction and presents the full details. The customer confirms, and where the customer has configured approval rules, the instruction follows that flow before execution.
In testing, Sokin's MCP connector handled 10 multi-currency invoices and treasury moves in under 10 minutes, giving accounts payable teams hours back that they would normally spend keying them in by hand. Each payment still waits for human confirmation before it runs on licensed rails.
That capability rests on what sits underneath it. Sokin holds licenses across 36 countries and moves money to more than 170 countries in more than 70 currencies and its own settlement infrastructure. A prepared instruction settles on rails Sokin owns and is licensed to operate.
"A read-only connector, which is what most MCPs in this space are right now, is a search bar with more personality. It tells a finance team where the money is and hands the work straight back to them," said Pete Daunton, Chief Strategy Officer at Sokin. "Our MCP reaches the tools that create a beneficiary, quote an exchange rate and prepare a payment. The ability to give an
agent real work is what is going to save our customers a lot of time and what they are going to love most about this."
Sokin’s customers already reach Sokin through the portal or embedding it inside their own platforms through APIs. The connector adds a third route, through compatible AI and Large Language Models including Claude and ChatGPT.
Through the Sokin MCP connector, an authorized user's AI agent:
- Prepares a beneficiary, a currency exchange, or a single payment, and presents the full instruction for the customer to confirm
- Returns wallet balances and transaction activity for every corporate the authorized user can access
- Retrieves a current FX quote for an exchange between supported Sokin wallets
- Finds an existing beneficiary, or checks new beneficiary details against what the payment route requires
- Returns the latest status of a payment, and the account details needed to fund a wallet
