A developer reviewing code and data flows for a business-software MCP server

Custom MCP integration

MCP development for business software in Morocco

We assess the interfaces your software actually provides, then build a controlled connection to a compatible AI assistant. Scope, permissions and acceptance criteria come before the pilot.

In brief

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, standardises how a compatible assistant accesses tools and context. It does not replace a software API or create access that does not exist. Hunter BI in Casablanca assesses your installed interfaces, then develops the MCP server, permissions, logging and tests for a defined business workflow.

What we deliver

From a software interface to a tool for your assistant

The proposal defines the scope after inspecting the environment and the rights available.

Connectivity assessment

Inspect the installed product, version, modules and available API, SDK, local automation or exchange mechanism. Confirm licensing and access rights before promising a capability. An existing connector is assessed before custom development is proposed.

A bounded tool catalogue

Define operations in business terms with validated inputs, limited outputs and explicit errors. Each tool has a clear purpose. The assistant does not receive unrestricted database access or a general command executor as a shortcut.

Security and deployment

Agree the execution identity, user permissions and data flows. Separate reading, preparation and writing. Sensitive operations require the defined approval, followed by a check of the actual outcome.

Handover and maintenance

Provide the tested versions, acceptance evidence, operating instructions and known limitations. Name the incident owner and suspension procedure. Changes to the software, client or protocol require targeted regression tests; support is scoped in the agreement.

Reference architecture

From the user's request to controlled business access

A proposed allocation of responsibilities, not a diagram of a disclosed customer deployment.

Assistant and user

The user expresses a task. The application asks for missing context and presents any consequential action for approval.

MCP server and controls

The server validates identity, permissions and parameters. Only the operations in the agreed catalogue are exposed.

Authorised interface

The selected API, SDK, local interface or exchange mechanism performs the operation within the rights granted by the business system.

Business system and verification

The result is checked, restricted to useful fields and returned with appropriate references. Failure or uncertainty is reported, not hidden.

Protocol reference: MCP architecture documentation.

Validation

What the acceptance tests need to prove

These are proposed checks. Their successful execution must be demonstrated for the actual project.

Minimum permissions

Test an authorised user, a denied user and a request outside the allowed data area. Retain evidence that prohibited operations are refused.

Approved writes

Identify the target and proposed content before execution. Test refusal, stale approval and uncertain responses. Inspect operation status before retrying to prevent duplicates.

Identity and credentials

Verify the execution account, authentication and revocation behaviour. Credentials must not appear in model-visible tool results or operational logs.

Data and hostile instructions

Limit response size and fields. Test retrieved material containing malicious instructions: it must not expand the assistant's access or authorised task.

Failures and traceability

Test an unavailable interface, timeout and invalid result. Connect the request, tool invocation and outcome in the review evidence without exposing secrets.

Compatibility and operations

Replay scenarios on the declared clients and versions. Document dependencies, update checks, incident ownership and how to suspend the connector.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between MCP and an API?

An API is an interface to a system. MCP is a protocol through which a compatible assistant can use defined tools and context. A real, authorised interface must still execute the operation underneath; MCP does not bypass software permissions or licensing.

Can software without a suitable API still be connected?

Sometimes another supported mechanism is available, such as an SDK, local automation or an agreed export. It depends on the edition, version and rights. We inspect the actual environment before confirming a feasible scope.

Does hosting the MCP server locally keep all data local?

No. A cloud assistant may transmit tool results and conversation context to its model provider. Strictly internal processing requires checking the assistant, model, connector, logs and other services as a complete chain.

Will one server work with every assistant?

No universal compatibility is promised. The client must support the selected protocol version, transport, tools and authentication. A local stdio process is not directly accessible to a cloud application. The delivery record lists tested configurations.

How long does custom MCP development take?

The schedule follows inspection of the available interface, required operations and security expectations. Begin with a targeted workflow, such as an enquiry or document preparation, and validate it before extending the scope.

What information is needed for a quote?

Provide the software publisher, version, modules, hosting, intended assistant and first task. Specify read or write access, users and test-environment availability. Do not submit passwords, API keys, payroll exports or confidential client documents through the public form.

What should your assistant do in your software?

Bring a software version, a recurring task and an expected result. We will identify the interface, access controls and tests required.
