AI without access to your data is just a clever chatbot. AI connected to your business systems via MCP servers is a genuine productivity tool. Here are 10 integrations we build for clients — and what they make possible.
1. 🗄️ Your Company Database
The foundation of most MCP deployments. Connect AI to your SQL or NoSQL database and suddenly it can answer questions about your actual business data — client records, order history, inventory levels, financial figures — in natural language.
"What were our top 10 clients by revenue last quarter?" → Instant answer from your live data.
2. 📁 Document Management Systems
SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox, or local file servers. AI searches across thousands of documents, finds relevant information, and summarises it. No more digging through folder structures or remembering file names.
"Find our standard NDA template and summarise the key clauses" → Found, read, and summarised in seconds.
3. 👥 CRM Systems
Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Zoho, or custom CRMs. AI accesses client profiles, interaction history, deal stages, and pipeline data. Reps get instant context before every call.
"Brief me on Acme Corp — last 3 interactions, current deal stage, and any open issues" → Complete briefing in 5 seconds.
4. 📧 Email Systems
Exchange, Outlook, Gmail. AI reads incoming mail, categorises by urgency and type, drafts responses, and extracts action items. The inbox that used to take an hour to process gets handled in minutes.
"Summarise today's unread emails and flag anything urgent" → Prioritised summary with draft responses ready.
5. 🧾 Accounting Software
Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, FreeAgent. AI processes invoices, matches transactions, answers financial queries, and generates reports. Accountants spend less time on data entry and more on advisory.
"What's the outstanding balance for client X and when was their last payment?" → Instant answer from Xero.
6. 🎯 Applicant Tracking Systems
Bullhorn, JobAdder, Workday, or custom ATS platforms. AI screens CVs, searches your candidate database, and matches applicants to roles. Recruiters find the right candidates in seconds instead of hours.
"Find Java developers in Birmingham, 5+ years experience, open to contract" → Ranked shortlist from your database.
7. 🚛 Transport Management Systems
Your TMS, customs software, and carrier platforms. AI auto-populates customs declarations, classifies HS codes, and generates shipping documentation. Logistics teams clear goods faster with less manual paperwork.
"Generate a customs declaration for this commercial invoice" → Draft declaration with commodity codes in 30 seconds.
8. 📋 Project Management Tools
Jira, Asana, Monday.com, Trello, or custom PM tools. AI tracks project status, generates progress reports, identifies blockers, and updates stakeholders. Project managers get real-time visibility without chasing updates.
"What's the status of Project Alpha and are there any overdue tasks?" → Live status from your PM tool.
9. 📞 Communication Platforms
Microsoft Teams, Slack, or internal messaging systems. AI monitors channels for action items, summarises long threads, and answers questions by pulling data from connected systems. The information your team needs, where they already work.
"Summarise the #sales channel from this week and list any decisions made" → Structured summary with action items.
10. 🔌 Your Custom Internal Tools
The bespoke system your developer built five years ago. The legacy application that runs a critical process. The internal API that nobody documented. If it has any kind of interface, we can build an MCP server for it. No system is too old, too niche, or too custom.
"Check the production schedule in our legacy system for next week" → Data retrieved from your 15-year-old system via MCP.
The Multiplier Effect
Each integration is useful on its own. But the real power comes from combining them. When AI can access your CRM and your email and your document store simultaneously, it can do things that no single-system tool can:
- Prepare a complete client briefing by pulling CRM data, recent emails, and relevant documents in one query
- Generate a proposal by combining client requirements (from email), pricing (from database), and templates (from document store)
- Answer "what's happening with client X?" by checking every system at once
One MCP server is useful. Three MCP servers working together are transformative.
Getting Started
You don't need all 10 on day one. Most clients start with 1-2 integrations — typically their database and document store — and expand from there. Each new MCP server builds on the same infrastructure, so the second one is faster and cheaper than the first.
