MCP connections
Give compatible AI applications access to defined tools and approved context. We scope what can be read, what can be changed and where a person should review the result.

01 / What we connect
You do not need a different tool for every problem. Start by making the tools you already use work together in a way your team can understand and control.
Give compatible AI applications access to defined tools and approved context. We scope what can be read, what can be changed and where a person should review the result.
Connect services directly using their supported interfaces. The right approach depends on available actions, access permissions, account limits and the data involved.
Turn agreed triggers and repeatable steps into a workflow—with clear ownership, error handling and a way to inspect what happened.

ClaudeScoped MCP serverApproved context
Example tools. Connections are scoped to your workflow.
MCP gives compatible AI tools a structured way to use approved context and actions.
APIs connect software services directly. We choose the connection method around the work you need done.
02 / Ways to work together
Choose help with the plan, the build or ongoing care. Scope, availability and pricing are confirmed after discovery.
01 / Plan
For deciding what should connect, how it should work and what needs approval.
Scope and pricing agreed after discovery
Discuss a blueprint02 / Build
For implementing an approved connection with a clear definition of done.
Scope and pricing agreed after discovery
Discuss a build03 / Improve
For ongoing care under a separately agreed support and improvement scope.
Scope and pricing agreed after discovery
Discuss ongoing support03 / The approach
Describe the work, the people involved and what a useful result looks like.
Choose the supported tools, permissions and actions that need a human decision.
Test the agreed workflow, failure paths and review requirements before relying on it.
Make ownership, operation and next steps understandable to the people using it.
04 / Questions
No. MCP gives compatible AI applications a standard way to use defined tools and context. APIs connect software services directly. A project may use either or both, depending on what the tools support.
That is the starting point. We review available interfaces, account permissions, plan limits and your desired outcome before recommending what should connect or change.
Not by default. Publishing, sending messages or changing important records follows the permissions and review steps agreed for your project.
No. Tell us about your goal and tools. Access setup uses the appropriate secure authorization process after the scope is agreed.
Documentation, ownership and ongoing support are part of the scope discussion. Monitoring, maintenance and response commitments are agreed explicitly.
