What's MCP, and why use Tugger's?

MCP is how AI assistants connect to business data.

It stands for Model Context Protocol, and it's the standard Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini all use. Tugger's MCP is the secure route between your assistant and your Harvest Forecast data. One connection covers every app you've connected to Tugger.

Ask anything.Break nothing.

Why's Tugger's MCP read‑only?

Because your AI assistant should answer questions about Harvest Forecast, not make changes to it.

Tugger reads from Harvest Forecast. It never writes back. So nothing an assistant does can change, delete or create a record.

Why use Tugger's MCP?

  • One question, every appAsk across Harvest Forecast, Harvest, Xero and the rest in a single conversation. Tugger handles the joins.
  • AI that understands Harvest ForecastYour data arrives structured and described, so your assistant knows what each record is and how they fit together.
  • As much history as you wantPick how far back to go when you connect Harvest Forecast. Trends and year-on-year comparisons are there to ask about.
  • Your choice of assistantClaude today, something else tomorrow. Same connection, same data, same controls.

What can AI see of your Harvest Forecast data?

Only what you allow.

AI privacy controls, built in

Harvest Forecast holds more than assignments. Notes somebody typed three years ago. Health and other sensitive details. You decide, category by category, what an AI assistant gets to see.

  • Hidden means hiddenSet a category to Hidden and it's withheld inside Tugger before the answer leaves. The AI can't filter, count or total on it either.
  • Staff and customers, set separatelyKeep staff names visible for scheduling questions while customer details stay hidden. Or the reverse.
  • Different rules where you need themSet rules for your whole account, then override them for Harvest Forecast, a single connection or an individual user.

What Tugger customers say

Don't just take our word for it.

It’s helped me keep my finger on the pulse of each department without having to be down in the trenches to get that pulse.
Matthew Skoglund
General Manager · West Crane Services
One of our customers wants a monthly evaluation pack built from thousands of Simpro jobs. It used to take a full day. Now our data reaches Claude through Tugger and the pack comes back in ten minutes, exactly how they want it.
John Trickett
Head of Digital & Technology · Severnside Security Limited
Batch invoicing and reporting used to eat hours of admin time each week, chasing details back and forth between Simpro and our spreadsheets. Now it runs on its own, and because Tugger guides the AI to the right figures, I can trust what comes out.
