Money and ordersBusiness Central MCP server
Through Flowplane an AI assistant uses Microsoft’s own Business Central MCP server for one company. What it can reach is what your Business Central administrator sets up: by default it reads the API pages and queries the signed-in person may use, and a configuration can also allow creating, changing and deleting records or running actions such as posting a document. Reads go straight through; every write and delete waits for your approval by default.

What your assistant can do in Business Central
Flowplane passes Business Central’s own MCP server through, so the tools are the ones Business Central offers when you connect. By default reads are allowed and anything that changes something waits for the person’s approval; your workspace’s rules decide.
Looking things up runs straight away, within what the account you connected may see.
Creating, changing or deleting waits for your approval in the browser, unless your workspace’s rules say otherwise.
Sign-in
Each person signs in with their own Microsoft work or school account and needs a Business Central license; personal Microsoft accounts are refused. The first sign-in in your organisation asks a Microsoft administrator to approve Flowplane once. The tenant is taken from the sign-in, so nobody types it. Flowplane keeps the login sealed; the assistant never sees it.
In Flowplane: In the Flowplane console, add Business Central, type the company as Business Central names it and the environment if it is not Production, and sign in with Microsoft.
Business Central and MCP
Microsoft runs an official MCP server for Business Central online. Flowplane passes it through as it is, for the company and environment you chose, and adds its own approvals and audit on top, so there is no app registration or client configuration to set up yourself.

Questions
- What can the assistant change in Business Central?
- Only what your Business Central administrator allows on the MCP Server Configuration page (8350): which API pages and queries exist, and whether they may create, modify, delete or run actions. Within that, every write and delete waits for your approval by default in Flowplane. A tool the configuration does not give does not exist.
- Business Central “did not accept this environment or company”: what now?
- Check that the company and environment are spelled as Business Central names them, and that an administrator has turned on the MCP server for that environment on page 8350. If you have more than one configuration there, give its name too.
- Can one connection reach several companies?
- No. A connection works with one company in one environment. For another company, or to change the one you chose, add Business Central again.
- Which AI assistants can use Business Central through Flowplane?
- Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot and Mistral Le Chat, and any other client that supports remote MCP servers with sign-in. They all reach Business Central through the same Flowplane address.
