Business value
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Business Central helps businesses unlock the full potential of AI-driven automation and orchestration. When the server exposes Business Central entities such as customers, items, and sales orders through a standardized API, you get seamless integration with intelligent agents built on any AI platform that supports the MCP protocol, including Azure OpenAI and Copilot Studio. With this capability, users can automate repetitive tasks, streamline workflows, and interact with their ERP data conversationally. The result is improved efficiency, faster decision-making, and a more intuitive user experience across business operations.
Feature details
MCP is an open API standard that enables intelligent clients to discover, describe, and invoke operations on remote services in a self-describing, plug-and-play way.
MCP standardizes how applications provide context to language models. This standardization helps applications integrate seamlessly with different data sources and tools. This open standard connects AI assistants and agents to various systems where data resides, such as content repositories, business tools, and development environments. An MCP-compliant agent uses rich contextual information to act efficiently. A non-MCP-compliant agent doesn't have the necessary context.
With the MCP server for Business Central, you can easily connect agents to existing knowledge sources and APIs. You can enable agents to interface directly with Business Central. Actions and knowledge synchronize automatically. This synchronization facilitates real-time updates and the evolution of functionality. This model simplifies agent development and minimizes ongoing maintenance efforts.
