MCP (Model Context Protocol)

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external data sources and tools: a system publishes an MCP server describing the data and actions it offers, and any MCP-compatible assistant, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, can query and act on it without a bespoke, purpose-built integration.

The problem MCP solves

Before a common standard existed, every AI assistant that needed to read from every business system required its own connector. An integration problem that multiplied as both the number of assistants and the number of systems grew. MCP defines one interface both sides implement, in the way a printer driver model means applications do not need bespoke code per printer.

What an MCP server exposes

Two things. Tools, which are callable operations with defined inputs and outputs: for example retrieving receivables grouped by branch, or listing uncontacted leads. And resources, which are data the assistant can read. Importantly, the assistant does not receive raw database access; it receives only the operations that were deliberately published, which is what makes the model governable.

MeraUdyog's MCP Builder

MeraUdyog includes a native MCP Builder that lets an administrator expose selected MeraUdyog data and actions, leads, employees, call logs, attendance records, invoices, as an MCP server, typically in an afternoon rather than as a development project. A connected assistant can then answer questions such as “which branch is behind on collections this month?” against live data.

Governance

Role-based access control, permission management, field-level access rules and a full audit trail apply across the platform today. Scoped, role-and-branch-aware permissions per connected assistant are a stated near-term roadmap item rather than a shipped capability. Worth confirming directly if you operate in a regulated environment.
