Launching doola Formation API and the Market's Only Live Formation MCP. Wednesday, 24 June 2026 11:00 AM Product announcements. Any platform or AI agent can now turn a user, anywhere in the world, into a real US company through a single API or MCP call. No US residency or SSN required. NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / June 24, 2026 / doola, the AI Business-in-a-Box(TM) for global entrepreneurs, announced the launch of its doola Formation API today, giving platforms and AI agents a way to embed US company formation directly inside their own products without building filing operations from scratch. The API formalizes formation as a two-step flow; create a customer, submit a company formation, with asynchronous progress delivered over signature-verified webhooks. A platform can take a user from idea to a real US company with entity filing, EIN, and registered agent support included, requiring no US residency and no Social Security Number, and removing the step that has long stalled non-resident founders trying to activate, bank, or scale. doola is the only company to have shipped a formation MCP running in six real production environments today across Replit, Claude, Lovable, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Vercel, making company formation something an agent can execute rather than merely recommend. Sandbox and production environments, machine-readable errors, idempotent creates, and reference-data lookups are available to developers at launch. The launch extends doola's existing partner program, which spans three models: affiliate, embedded iFrame, and white-label API; so platforms can start with a referral link and scale to full infrastructure as volume grows. "Founders come to doola because they need a real US business structure before they can bank, sell, raise, or operate globally," said Arjun Mahadevan, Founder and CEO of doola. "With the doola formation API and formation MCP, we're bringing that infrastructure directly into the platforms where they're already building. But formation is only the starting point. What matters just as much is helping founders stay compliant and supported as their business grows." Beyond formation, doola manages the full lifecycle for partner customers, including registered agent, ITIN, annual reports, bookkeeping, business taxes (Form 5472 for foreign-owned entities included), and business banking setup, and absorbs customer operations and support, so partners are not expected to manage compliance on behalf of referred users. About doola doola (Y Combinator S20) is the AI Business-in-a-Box(TM) for global entrepreneurs, providing an all-in-one back office that includes US LLC formation, Registered Agent services, an EIN, US business banking and payment processor access, bookkeeping, tax filings, analytics, and a company formation API. doola serves 22,000+ founders across 175+ countries over the past five years and is backed by Y Combinator, Nexus Venture Partners, and HubSpot Ventures.

doola brings LLC formation to Vercel, closing the gap between deployment and legal infrastructure. Founders can now go from deployment to legally protected business without ever leaving Vercel. doola MCP is now live inside Vercel, letting founders form a real US LLC through a plain conversation in v0, Vercel's AI-native interface, in the same session where they ship their product to the world. * The flow is quick and seamless. No separate dashboard. No context switching. No paperwork to figure out on your own. Available to US and non-US founders in 175+ countries, no US SSN required. * doola has helped more than 15,000 founders start and scale US businesses, backed by $13M in venture capital from Y Combinator, HubSpot Ventures, Nexus Venture Partners, and other top investors. NEW YORK, June 8, 2026 (Newswire.com) - doola, the AI Business-in-a-Box(TM) for global entrepreneurs, today announced that its Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration is now live inside Vercel. The launch makes doola the only company formation platform available natively across Claude, Replit, ChatGPT, Lovable, Perplexity and Vercel, six of the leading environments where modern founders build and launch, and brings agentic LLC formation to the platform where side projects stop being hobbies and start becoming real businesses. The integration lets founders form a U.S. LLC directly inside a Vercel project through v0, Vercel's AI-native interface. After a one-time MCP setup, users can start the formation process through plain conversation. v0 guides them through company setup details and checkout without leaving the deployment environment, while doola handles the backend filing process and routes users to their dashboard for next steps like EIN setup, banking and compliance. Vercel is where the product goes live. Since v0 became generally available in 2024, more than 4 million people have used it to turn their ideas into apps in minutes, making it core infrastructure for modern product launches, not a niche dev tool. Until today, the moment a founder needed a legal entity behind their deployment, the workflow broke. Getting an LLC to receive payments, a registered agent to stay compliant, and an EIN to open a bank account meant stopping, leaving, and figuring it out somewhere else entirely. doola MCP makes incorporation part of shipping. "Developers have been deploying on Vercel and then stopping cold the moment they needed a legal entity," said Arjun Mahadevan, Founder and CEO of doola. "That extra operational work has slowed founders down for years, and many end up delaying incorporation for far too long. With doola MCP inside Vercel, you can push code and form the company in the same workflow. Same session, same afternoon. The product and the entity go live together. That's how modern company formation should work" The Vercel launch is the sixth integration in a three-week rollout for doola, following launches across Claude, Replit, ChatGPT, Lovable and Perplexity. The company says more integrations are on the way as it continues embedding business formation, banking and compliance workflows into the AI tools founders already use. So far, doola has helped entrepreneurs from more than 175+ countries form U.S. LLCs, including founders without a U.S. SSN or mailing address, with no U.S. visit required during the process. About doola doola (Y Combinator S20) is the AI Business-in-a-Box(TM) for global entrepreneurs. The platform provides an all-in-one back-office solution, including U.S. LLC formation, Registered Agent services, an EIN, a U.S. business bank account and payment processor access, bookkeeping, business tax filings, business analytics, and a company formation API. By integrating these complex services, doola empowers founders to start and scale their US businesses with confidence, even without a US Social Security Number. doola serves 15,000+ founders across 175+ countries and is backed by $13M in venture capital from Y Combinator, Nexus Venture Partners, HubSpot Ventures, and others.

doola MCP inside Perplexity: the fastest way to go from LLC research to LLC filed. By Karishma Borkakoty TL;DR: doola MCP is now live inside Perplexity Computer as a launch partner in the Computer for Growing Businesses bundle. Founders can go from researching formation states to filing an actual LLC, including entity, EIN, registered agent, and compliance, without ever leaving a Perplexity session. Here's what changed, how it works, and how to get started. You open Perplexity to look into Wyoming vs. Delaware. You read through the breakdown, decide Wyoming makes the most sense for you, and you're ready to pull the trigger. In the past, that's exactly where the momentum died. You'd have to open a new tab, find a completely separate tool, and stare at a blank dashboard that forgot everything you just researched. The gap between "I have an idea" and "I have a company" used to mean drowning in weeks of paperwork. But with doola MCP inside Perplexity AI Computer, that gap is gone. It's literally one prompt to legally form your business. Why Perplexity specifically. The searches and queries on Perplexity are inherently high-intent. A founder researching state-specific tax laws is not looking for a general overview; they are usually minutes away from making a final decision on where to form their company. Perplexity was processing 780 million queries a month as of mid-2025, and a significant portion of that traffic comes from early-stage entrepreneurs who are one step away from making their business official. Historically, completing that final step required leaving the platform to find a separate filing service. Now, the entire process stays in one place. doola inside Perplexity Computer. doola is now a native connector and launch partner inside Perplexity Computer, the platform designed to handle execution, from publishing websites and generating reports to building dashboards and managing sales pipelines. This is launching as part of the Computer for Growing Businesses bundle, a curated set of tools built specifically for early-stage founders and small business owners. The bundle brings together software like SimilarWeb, Semrush, Apollo, Vercel, Supabase, Granola, and Canva. "Computer is incredibly powerful, but that openness can be paralyzing, especially for a founder staring at a blank prompt. The strongest persona we've seen on Computer is the entrepreneur and small business owner, so Computer for Growing Businesses curates the workflows and connectors that persona actually needs. doola is the natural anchor for the 'start the company' part of that journey." - Dmitry Shevelenko, Chief Business Officer, Perplexity Within this setup, doola anchors the formation and compliance layer. Instead of bouncing between different services, founders can handle entity filing, EIN registration, registered agent services through a single prompt, all within the same session where they are building the rest of their company. This integration effectively eliminates the friction of moving from an idea to a legal reality. What the experience looks like. The entire setup is handled directly within the chat window, split into two straightforward phases: "Founders don't need another tool. They need fewer decisions. What Perplexity has built with Computer is the closest thing we've seen to a real chief-of-staff for a one-person company. Plugging doola in means the second a founder decides to start a business, the business actually exists. Registered, compliant, and ready to operate; all without leaving the agent." - Arjun Mahadevan, Founder & CEO, doola * Before payment: Perplexity asks where you are based, what you want to name your company, which state you want to file in, and which package fits your needs. You answer these questions, just like any other conversation in Perplexity. A Stripe checkout window then opens right inside the session. * After payment: The conversation picks right back up where it left off. Perplexity guides you through the remaining details: your business description, mailing address, LLC members, ownership splits, and the IRS responsible party. From there, doola files the LLC, handles the registered agent setup, and manages the backend processing. Once complete, you are routed to your doola dashboard to grab your EIN, set up business banking, and manage ongoing compliance. There are no extra tabs to open, no separate dashboards to set up, and no need to copy and paste information between different systems. Why this matters especially for international founders. Most international founders start the process with the exact same questions: * Do I need a physical US address? * What exactly does a registered agent do? * Should I choose Wyoming or Delaware? * Can I open a US bank account without an SSN? With doola MCP integrated inside Perplexity, those questions are answered and acted upon in the same window. To date, doola has helped over 14,000 founders across more than 175 countries launch US businesses; including those operating entirely without a US Social Security Number.
