ChatGPT for Business Central

How to connect ChatGPT to Business Central

Bring ChatGPT into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It reads your data in plain language and prepares the work, and every write lands as a draft you approve inside BC.

Can ChatGPT connect to Business Central?

Yes. ChatGPT connects to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central through Zentriq Connect, an MCP connector (MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the open standard that lets an AI assistant talk to an external system through a set of tools). Once connected, ChatGPT reads your live ERP data in natural language, so you can ask about customers, items or documents instead of clicking through pages.

Zentriq Connect is that connector. You add one link to ChatGPT, sign in with Microsoft, and it works with your live Business Central data, under your own permissions.

Reading is easy. Writing is the hard part.

Most Business Central MCP connectors, including Microsoft's own, are read-only. Reading data is useful, but the real work in an ERP is creating and posting documents. An AI that writes to your ledger with no human in the loop is a liability.

Zentriq Connect is built for safe write access: ChatGPT never posts directly. Every write it makes lands as a draft proposal that you review and approve inside Business Central. Nothing touches your books until a person clicks. That approve-in-BC model is what makes AI write access to an ERP genuinely safe.

How to connect ChatGPT to Business Central

Setup takes a few minutes and works on web, desktop and mobile.

  1. Sign up free at zentriqsoftware.com and connect your Business Central.
  2. Install the Zentriq Agent extension on Business Central from Microsoft AppSource. This is what surfaces the drafts for you to approve.
  3. In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Paste https://app.zentriqsoftware.com/api/mcp, leave the OAuth fields empty, sign in with Microsoft, and pick your environment and company.

That is the whole setup. ChatGPT is now working inside your ERP, safely. See the step-by-step guide for screenshots.

Built on MCP, an open standard

MCP is an open standard, so the same connector is not locked to one assistant. If your team also uses Anthropic's model, you can connect Claude to Business Central with the very same link, and you can read the full story on the Business Central MCP connector page.

Security and data residency

ChatGPT only sees what your Business Central permissions allow, and every write is a draft you approve in the ERP. Your data is hosted in Europe. During reasoning it passes through your own ChatGPT, and we say so plainly rather than pretending otherwise. Zentriq is a Microsoft Partner, built for Business Central, Swiss-made.
