Incorporate

Cofounder files the company's formation through Ramp. The founder signs in to Ramp and verifies their identity on Ramp's own pages; your agent handles the rest of the application and the filing.

Connect Ramp

Start with cofounder company incorporation get; it reports whether Ramp is connected and what to run next.

MCP	CLI	API
`company_incorporation_get`	`cofounder company incorporation get`	`GET /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation`
`company_incorporation_connect`	`cofounder company incorporate connect`, `cofounder company incorporation connect`	`POST /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/connect`
`company_incorporation_applications_create`	`cofounder company incorporation applications create --first-name <first> --last-name <last>`	`POST /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/applications`

Already have a Ramp account? incorporate connect opens the sign-in. New to Ramp? applications create starts an application and emails the signed-in founder an invite. Prefill accepts business and ownership details.

Fill in the application

Read the application before asking the founder anything, so you don't ask for details it already has. Updates change only the fields you pass.

MCP	CLI	API
—	`cofounder company incorporation applications get`	`GET /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/applications`
—	`cofounder company incorporation applications update --business <json> --data-source-summary <text> --user-prompt <text>`	`PATCH /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/applications`

Every change to the application takes --data-source-summary (where the facts came from, such as "legal name confirmed by the founder") and --user-prompt (what the founder asked for). SSN and passport details are refused here; the founder enters them only on Ramp's page.

Track the application

MCP	CLI	API
`company_incorporation_progress_get`	`cofounder company incorporation progress get`	`GET /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/progress`
`company_incorporation_documents_list` (general MCP only)	`cofounder company incorporation documents list`	`GET /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/documents`

progress returns a deep link whenever Ramp needs the founder; identity details such as SSN are only ever entered there.

Ramp may come back with follow-up questions. Each one says who should answer it: answer the ones marked AGENT yourself, and hand the founder the deep link for the rest.

MCP	CLI	API
—	`cofounder company incorporation applications followups list`	`GET /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/applications/followups`
—	`cofounder company incorporation applications followups update --followup-id <id> --response-text <text> --data-source-summary <text> --user-prompt <text>`	`PATCH /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/applications/followups/{followup_id}`
—	`cofounder company incorporation applications followups submit --data-source-summary <text> --user-prompt <text>`	`POST /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/applications/followups/submit`
—	`cofounder company incorporation applications documents list`	`GET /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/applications/documents`
—	`cofounder company incorporation applications documents delete --document-id <id> --data-source-summary <text> --user-prompt <text>`	`DELETE /cofounder-cli/v1/company/incorporation/applications/documents/{document_id}`

Send the answers with followups submit once followups list says the application is ready and the founder has said yes. Check the uploaded documents before adding another, and delete a duplicate or wrong upload only after the founder confirms.

File

Pick the state and industry, then submit:

cofounder company incorporation options list --lookup states
cofounder company incorporation options list --lookup industries --industry-search "software"

cofounder company incorporate submit takes the state, NAICS code, a short description, three or more --name-option candidates, and a mailing address. It spends money: it prompts to confirm the formation fee, or pass --yes with --snapshot <fee-cents> set to the filing_fee_cents that options list --lookup states returns. This is Ramp's published one-time formation package price, including state fees and first-year registered agent service. Ramp's states API supplies availability, and Cofounder adds the published price. Review Ramp's pricing and registered agent renewal costs with the founder before confirming. On MCP, company_incorporation_submit carries the same fee confirmation. The longer form, cofounder company incorporation submit --confirm-fee --filing-fee-cents <cents> ..., takes the mailing address as one JSON value. The API rejects an amount that differs from the published price Cofounder uses, or a state Ramp no longer offers.

After filing, cofounder company incorporation registration-status get follows the government filing and shows the EIN once it's issued. On MCP, company_incorporation_registration_status_get returns progress, filing dates, an ein_issued flag, and a dashboard_url instead of the EIN value. Open that link and sign in as an admin of the selected company to view its EIN.

company_incorporation_documents_list returns document metadata and provider download URLs through general MCP and the authorized CLI/API. It is unavailable in the OpenAI and Claude plugins because the collection can include EIN letters. The authenticated dashboard also provides access to these documents.
