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 RotaCloud 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 RotaCloud, not make changes to it.

Tugger reads from RotaCloud. 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 RotaCloud, Xero, BambooHR and the rest in a single conversation. Tugger handles the joins.
  • AI that understands RotaCloudYour 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 RotaCloud. 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 RotaCloud data?

Only what you allow.

AI privacy controls, built in

RotaCloud holds more than shifts. Staff pay rates. 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.
  • Every category, your callSet each kind of personal data to Visible or Hidden on its own, so the AI sees only what it needs.
  • Different rules where you need themSet rules for your whole account, then override them for RotaCloud, a single connection or an individual user.

What Tugger customers say

Don't just take our word for it.

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.

With Tugger we are now utilising Claude AI and Cowork to carry out analysis that was never before available to us. This has been a paradigm shift in speed and accuracy of management decision making in our business.
Jeff Smith
Partner & Director of Digital Disruption · Envirotech Group
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.

Can I connect RotaCloud to Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. Tugger connects your RotaCloud data to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and any other MCP-compatible assistant. Connect RotaCloud to Tugger, switch on AI Insights, and ask questions in natural language.

What is MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It's the standard way AI assistants connect to business data. Tugger's MCP gives your assistant secure, read-only access to your RotaCloud data, and to every other app you've connected to Tugger.

Can AI change or delete my RotaCloud data?

No. Tugger's MCP is read-only. Tugger reads from RotaCloud and never writes back, so nothing your AI assistant does can change, delete or create a record in RotaCloud.

Can I control what AI sees in my RotaCloud data?

Yes. Tugger's AI privacy controls let an administrator set each category of personal data to Visible or Hidden, separately for staff and for customers. Anything hidden is withheld inside Tugger before the answer leaves, and every AI call is recorded.

Can Claude build dashboards from my RotaCloud data?

Yes. Describe the dashboard you want and Claude builds it from your RotaCloud data. Ask for changes in the same conversation, and refresh it whenever you want up-to-date numbers.

Does Tugger work with Power BI?

Yes. Power BI, Tableau and Excel all plug into the same RotaCloud data your AI assistant uses, and it refreshes automatically.

What RotaCloud data does Tugger sync?

Tugger syncs shifts, attendance, employees, leave, locations, roles, availability, swap requests and more.

Where is my RotaCloud data stored?

In the UK by default. Need it held in your own region? Talk to us about hosting it there.

Is my RotaCloud data used to train AI models?

Not by Tugger. We don't use your data to train models. Your chosen AI provider handles data under its own terms, and we'll point you at the right documentation for whichever one you use.

How long does it take to set up?

Connecting RotaCloud takes a few clicks, and Tugger does the rest. Your first sync then runs on its own, and we'll email you when your data's ready. How long that takes depends on how much RotaCloud data you've got.
