MCP server development: connect AI to your systems safely.
Model Context Protocol is the standard way to give AI assistants access to tools and data. We build MCP servers that are secure enough for production, not just for a demo.
- Sprint
- 2–3 weeks per system
- Ideal for
- Teams using Claude, Copilot or custom agents
- Connects to
- Salesforce, SQL Server, Fabric, SharePoint, Jira, custom APIs
- Security
- OAuth 2.1, least-privilege scopes, audit logs
The challenge
The hard part of MCP is governance
Writing a basic MCP server takes an afternoon. Deciding which user can call which tool, keeping writes safe, limiting how much data reaches the model and logging every call for audit takes engineering.
We design each server around your identity provider and data rules, then test it with the AI clients your teams already use.
Scope
What each MCP sprint delivers
- Tool designA small set of clear, typed tools that map to real tasks, instead of exposing raw database access.
- Identity and scopesSign-in through Entra ID, Okta or Google, with the caller's own permissions applied to every request.
- Safe writesRead-only by default. Write tools require confirmation or an approval step you control.
- Context limitsPagination, field filtering and summarisation so responses stay small and costs stay low.
- Audit and monitoringEvery tool call logged with user, inputs and result size, ready for your SIEM.
How it runs
Clear stages. You decide at the end of each.
Pick the system
Agree the tasks people want the AI to do and the data it may touch.
2–3 daysBuild
Server, tools, auth and tests.
1–2 weeksPilot
Real users try it from Claude or your agent, and we tune the tools.
1 weekHand over
Deployment, runbook and monitoring.
2–3 daysQuestions
What teams ask us about this.
Which AI clients can use the servers you build?
Any MCP-compatible client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Claude's web connectors and custom agents built on the Claude Agent SDK or other frameworks.
Can MCP servers run inside our network?
Yes. We deploy them as containers in your cloud or data centre, behind your existing gateway.
Will this expose sensitive data to the model?
Only what the tools return. We filter fields, mask identifiers and keep responses to what the task needs.
