What is MCP?
Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants securely access business data and tools. It was created by Anthropic (Claude) and is supported by OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Microsoft. Our MCP server translates AI requests into safe, audited queries against your ERP.

The AI sees only what you allow
Designed for accounting data: trust first, convenience second. Read-only by default, writes only with human confirmation.
We read, we don’t interfere
By default the AI only reads: via mServer or through a dedicated read-only database account. It never writes to POHODA and doesn't affect how it runs.
Writes only via official interfaces
Write actions go through the vendor’s official interface and every one is confirmed by a human.
Module-level permissions + audit
Payroll and other sensitive modules can be excluded; every request is logged.
Hosted in the EU, encrypted end to end
The cloud service runs in the EU and connects to your POHODA over an encrypted link, via IP whitelisting or your VPN. Beyond the audit log, we never store your data and never use it to train AI models.
OAuth 2.0, no shared keys
Every user signs in as themselves and access can be revoked at any time.
How we connect to POHODA
We offer two ways. We pick the one that fits your setup.
POHODA's official interface
- All POHODA editions, including basic
- A good fit if you already run mServer
- Reading and writing via XML
POHODA's SQL database
- SQL and E1 editions
- No mServer and no licence reserved for it
- Fast reads even for large reports, writing via XML
Either way: the AI sees only the modules you allow and writes nothing without your confirmation.
What you need
- Access for our server You give us access to POHODA's mServer or database: by whitelisting our IP addresses or through your VPN. We agree the details with your IT. Nothing is installed on your side.
- AI account Claude (we recommend Pro or Team), ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, or Microsoft Copilot via Copilot Studio.

FAQ
Do I need mServer?
Not necessarily. We offer two ways: via mServer, or straight from the database for SQL and E1. If you already have mServer, we use it. If not, SQL and E1 work without it. We choose together on the intro call.
We have the basic POHODA edition, not SQL or E1. Will it work?
Yes. We connect the basic edition via mServer.
How much does POHODA MCP cost?
Read is €39/mo, Read + write €99/mo. Accounting firms pay from €12 per company per month, for at least 5 companies. A standard connection is a one-off €199. Prices are excl. VAT and the first 14 days are free.
How long does deployment take?
Usually under a week. The longest step is access to mServer or the database, which your IT sets up (1–3 days). The call, connecting the AI and training take about two hours in total.
What will the AI write to POHODA?
In the Read + write tier it can create records in every module POHODA accepts: invoices, orders, quotes, stock documents, bank, cash desk, projects, production and the address book. Nothing is written to POHODA until you confirm the draft.
We run several companies in POHODA.
That’s fine, one connection handles several companies. You name the company in your question, or fix it for a user in the permissions.
Is it suitable for an accounting firm?
Yes. You pay per company (from €12/mo, at least 5 companies) and each accountant sees only their own clients. More in AI in an accounting firm on POHODA.
Will it slow POHODA down?
No. Queries only read and run at low priority, and a typical query puts less load on POHODA than a standard report. We set limits during deployment.
Will the AI see all our data?
Only what you allow. Access is configured per module and the default mode is read-only. Sensitive areas (e.g. payroll) can be excluded entirely.
Do I need a paid Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot subscription?
For day-to-day use, yes. For Claude we recommend Pro or Team (Free allows one custom connector); in ChatGPT, custom MCP servers are available on the Business, Enterprise and Edu plans; Microsoft Copilot connects through Copilot Studio. You pay the AI provider directly; we’ll help you choose.
Where is my data processed, and what about GDPR?
The service runs in EU data centres and connects to your system securely. Data is never used to train AI models. We sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
Can the AI break anything in the ERP?
Not in Read mode — it never writes to the system. Write actions (higher tier) go through the vendor’s official interface and each one must be confirmed by a human.
What if I upgrade my ERP to a new version?
We track supported versions and keep the connector updated. Let us know before a major upgrade and we’ll verify compatibility in advance.
Are you a partner of the ERP vendors?
No — we are an independent vendor. All ERP names are trademarks of their respective owners. We are in talks with several vendors about partnerships.
