Claude for Business Central

How to connect Claude to Business Central

Bring Claude 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 Claude connect to Business Central?

Yes, through Zentriq Connect, an MCP connector for Business Central. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets an AI assistant talk to an external system through a set of tools. Once connected, Claude reads your Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central data in natural language instead of clicking through pages.

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

Reading is easy. Writing is the hard part.

Most Business Central 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: Claude 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.

How to connect Claude to Business Central

Setup takes a few minutes and works on Claude for 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 Claude, open Settings > Connectors > 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. Claude is now working inside your ERP, safely. See the step-by-step guide for screenshots.

An open standard, not a Claude-only trick

MCP is an open standard, so the same connector is not limited to Claude: it also brings ChatGPT into Business Central, or any MCP-compatible AI. For the full picture, see the Business Central MCP connector overview.

Security and data residency

Claude 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 Claude, and we say so plainly rather than pretending otherwise. Zentriq is a Microsoft Partner, built for Business Central, Swiss-made.
