Connect Cursor to Business Central

Cursor reaches Business Central through one Flowplane address. You add Business Central once in Flowplane, add that address to Cursor, and sign in. Look up customers, items, sales orders and more in a Business Central company, and change records, after your approval by default.

  1. 1

    Add Business Central 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.

    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.

    Add Flowplane to Cursor

    Your address is shown in the Flowplane console; it looks like

    https://mcp.flowplane.eu/<your-label>

    1. Add the block below to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project).
    2. Open Cursor’s MCP settings and turn flowplane on.
    3. When Cursor asks, sign in to Flowplane and allow it.
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "flowplane": { "url": "https://mcp.flowplane.eu/<your-label>" }
  }
}

  3. 3

    Ask Cursor

    • “Which sales orders for Adatum are still open?”
    • “How many units of item 1000 do we have in stock?”
    • “Show the contact details of customer Bakkerij Peeters.”
    • “Create a new customer: Brouwerij De Linde, Kerkstraat 12, Gent.”
    • “Post the sales invoice for Janssens NV that is still a draft.”
What it can do

What Cursor can do in Business Central

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.

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.

FAQ

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.
Does Cursor see the password or key for Business Central?
No. You sign in to Business Central through Flowplane, which keeps that sign-in sealed. Cursor only gets a Flowplane sign-in for you, which you can revoke in the console.
Can Cursor change things in Business Central without asking?
Not by default: reads are allowed and anything that changes something in Business Central waits for your approval. Your workspace’s rules can make that stricter or looser.
