MCP integrations in Chicago
For Chicago operators who want a working pilot in weeks, not a year-long programme.
What MCP integrations actually does
Wire Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini directly into your tools with the Model Context Protocol. Your team uses AI in their existing inbox, CRM, or chat – with your data, your permissions, your guardrails.
Most of our Chicago engagements start the same way: a 20-minute call where the owner describes a workflow we've heard before in shape but never in detail. MCP integrations is then designed against the detail, not the shape.
- 01 Custom MCP servers for your CRM, ERP, or in-house tools
- 02 Permission-aware so AI only sees what each user can
- 03 Tool-call audit log for compliance
- 04 Works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
Built on: MCP Claude TypeScript Vercel
Why Chicago businesses choose this
Chicago runs on logistics, manufacturing, finance and a genuinely diverse industrial base – AI here means fitting into operations that were already running lean before AI existed.
What's different about doing this work in Chicago.
A major freight and logistics hub, a deep manufacturing base, and a futures and options trading industry with zero patience for anything slow. Chicago businesses want AI that respects an operation that already runs tight.
We work with teams across Chicago: The Loop · River North · Wicker Park · Lincoln Park · Evanston · Naperville.
How we build MCP integrations for a Chicago team
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Chicago business, so value lands before the build is finished. Every engagement starts with a short call and a paid discovery if the brief needs one.

MCP integrations in Chicago – common questions
What's a typical engagement length for Chicago businesses?
Six to twelve weeks for the build, then a short managed-services month while the system goes from "shipped" to "owned by your team". After that you keep us on retainer if you want, or take it from there yourself.
Do you do hourly billing or fixed price?
Fixed price for the pilot, every time. After that it's your call – fixed price per milestone or a small monthly retainer for ongoing iteration. We don't run open-ended T&M because it disincentivises us from finishing.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes – on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Existing AI tools become 10x more useful with real business context.
Can you work with our existing systems?
Yes. The default MCP integrations stack we reach for is MCP, Claude, TypeScript, Vercel, but we'll bend it around whatever you already run – Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, Cin7, your own in-house apps. The discovery week maps every data source before any build starts.
