MCP Server: Make Your Systems Available to Agents

The problem

Your AI is only as useful as the systems it can reach.

Your ERP, warehouse and transport systems already contain the data and processes your business runs on.

But AI agents can’t simply use them.

Your data is spread across systems.
Your core systems weren’t built for AI agents.
Building a new AI integration for every use case creates more work.

The good news: you’ve already connected these systems with Lobster.

Lobster MCP

You've already built it. Now give AI access.

Your existing Lobster integrations already connect your ERP, warehouse, transport and other systems. Lobster MCP lets you publish those integrations as tools for AI agents.

Connect

Your existing Lobster integrations connect your systems and keep data moving.

Publish

Choose an existing profile and publish it as an MCP tool. Define what the agent can do and when it should use it.

Deploy

Your MCP-compliant agent discovers the tool and can use it immediately.

Demos

The real value isn't an AI that can answer questions about your business. It's an AI that can work with your business.

„Which open orders are affected by today’s transport disruption?“

Demo 1

Supply chain in crisis

The agent can:

Query ERP, transport and warehouse systems in one conversation to identify the affected orders.
Compare sourcing options, including cost and timing & book the selected transport.
Write the resulting transaction back to the platform.

Demo 2

An order that can’t be fulfilled

The agent can:

Look up the customer and order details.
Check the ERP to identify the problem & search the PIM for alternative products.
Use sales data to compare the alternatives & update the order with the replacement.
Generate and send the customer confirmation.

„Why is a customer order only partially confirmed?“

Customer story

ABS Safety adopted Lobster's MCP server so their internal AI model can now query PIM and article data directly. Today, employees get answers to product questions in natural language instead of searching for them – with no manual exports and no sensitive data exposed.

For us, Lobster is the quiet presence in the background that ties everything together, keeping our data updated across a very mixed set of systems. The platform gives us a huge range of tools to tackle complex integration tasks flexibly and quickly.

SECURITY & FLEXIBILITY

Put AI to work, on your terms.

Choose what agents can access, keep your business logic in Lobster, and add new capabilities as your needs evolve.

You decide what the agent can do.

Giving an AI agent access to your business systems doesn’t mean giving it access to everything. You publish the capabilities you want it to use. Everything else stays out of reach.

Published tools only
Agents can only call the tools you publish. Nothing is exposed unless you choose to make it available.
Your rules, your profiles
Your business logic stays in Lobster – not hidden inside a model or a prompt. That keeps it testable, maintainable and under your control.
Full traceability
MCP tools use the same versioning and logging model as your other Lobster integrations, so calls and actions remain traceable in the platform.

Need another capability? Add it in Lobster.

An agent can only use the tools you’ve published. If it needs something else, you can create or publish another capability in Lobster – often by publishing a profile you already have.

Reuse what you already have
Build on the integrations and profiles you already run.
Configuration, not coding
New tools use the same components as your other Lobster integrations.
Make changes without retraining
New or updated capabilities become available without reconnecting or restarting the agent.

Pathfinder

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting AI systems to external tools, apps, and data sources, published by Anthropic in late 2024. It defines one common language for those connections, so any compliant tool works with any compliant AI system. Lobster acts as an MCP server, so any MCP-compliant agent can use the integrations you publish.

Both are defined in the same place, the API Manager, and you can use either. A REST API defines endpoints for classic integration purposes. An MCP server is optimized for AI systems: it publishes tools an agent can discover and call on its own, each with a description that tells the agent when to use it.

No. Lobster connects your systems as they are, including legacy ones, and publishes those existing integrations as tools.

No. MCP setup happens inside Lobster Data Platform and follows the same process as any other integration, so any Lobster user can complete it.

The first endpoint can go live in under a day. Publishing an existing profile as a tool takes minutes.

Both, and you control which. A tool does exactly what its underlying profile does, so you publish read access, write access, or both.

It reports that the capability isn’t available. You can add the tool in Lobster, and it’s usable immediately, with no reconnect or restart.

Any MCP-compliant agent.

Your AI is only as useful as the systems it can reach.
