Included in ERPClaw, free

Your business system, reachable from your AI tools

ERPClaw speaks MCP, the standard that lets AI assistants work with other software. Ask about your numbers from the assistant you already use, or wire ERPClaw into your own automations. Other products sell this as a feature; here it is simply how the system was built.

One action layer, every door

Chat with it

The plain-language interface you use day to day. "Invoice Acme for the March retainer" is a complete instruction.

Reach it from your assistant

MCP-capable AI tools connect to the same operations, so your business system joins the conversations you already have elsewhere.

Program against it

Developers call the identical layer. No second-class API that drifts from what the product can really do.

Whichever door a request comes through, the same rules hold: deterministic accounting code does the posting and the checking engine verifies the books after every entry. Doors differ; the discipline does not.

Common questions

What is MCP, without the jargon?

MCP is the plug standard that lets AI assistants use other software. If a tool speaks MCP, an assistant like Claude can work with it directly: ask it questions, have it do things. ERPClaw speaks it natively.

What can I actually do with it?

Work with your business system from the AI tools you already use. Ask about your numbers from your assistant, have it raise a document, pull a report into another workflow. The same plain-language operations, reachable from wherever you already work.

Is this bolted on?

No, and that is the difference worth understanding. ERPClaw was built AI-native: every business operation was designed to be invoked by an AI in the first place. MCP access is that same layer exposed through the standard plug, not a wrapper added for marketing.

Is it safe to let an AI touch my books?

The AI decides what you meant; deterministic accounting code decides what gets posted; and a checking engine verifies the books after every posting. That protection applies no matter which door the request came through, including MCP.

What about developers?

Same surface, programmable: every business operation is callable, so integrations and automations use the exact layer the AI uses. The developer docs cover the details.

Does it cost extra?

No. Like everything in ERPClaw, it is part of the free, self-hosted, open-source product.
