What does an MCP integration cost?

An MCP integration costs €5,000 to €15,000 excl. VAT with us. For that we build an MCP server on top of your existing system, so an AI assistant can work with it safely. Where you land in that range mostly depends on your system and on how much the AI is allowed to do.

What you get for that

An MCP server is the piece of software that gives an AI model access to your system. It offers a few tools, like "look up a customer" or "show open orders". The AI can only do what those tools allow. What MCP is, exactly, is in MCP: how to connect AI to the software you already use.

The price covers building that server. Together we decide which tools there will be and which data stays out. The server works with your users' own permissions and logs every call. After that we test it with a small group of colleagues.

What puts you at the lower end

There's already an API. If your system has a clean, documented API, the MCP server simply talks to it. That saves a lot of work.

It's one system. A server on just your CRM or just your web shop is easy to oversee.

The AI only asks questions. Tools that only read change nothing in your system. They need fewer checks.

What puts you at the upper end

There's no API yet. Then there first has to be a way to reach your data. With an older system that was never meant for integrations, that can be quite a bit of work.

Several systems. Does the AI need to combine data from your ERP and your web shop? Then we build more tools, and that data has to fit together too.

The AI also changes data. Tools that create an order or update a customer need extra checks. A person confirms in between, so nothing changes by itself.

Strict security requirements. Requirements for login, per-user permissions and logging take extra time. Which risks are involved and what you do about them is in Is MCP secure?

What's not in the price?

The AI model itself. You use an existing AI application that supports MCP, like Claude or ChatGPT. You pay that subscription or the model usage to that provider. Support after delivery is agreed separately too.

How long does it take?

If your software already has a clean API, a first version with a few read tools is often ready in 2 to 4 weeks. If an API has to be built first, it takes longer. How that compares to other projects is in how long it takes to build an app.

How do you get to a price for your situation?

Start with one or two questions your team asks often. Look at which system has the answers and whether it has an API. Then we can tell you fairly quickly where you'll land in the range.

Frequently asked questions

Is an MCP integration cheaper if my software already has an API?

Yes. An existing, documented API saves a lot of work. The MCP server then talks to that API and only has to add the tools on top. If an API has to be built first, you'll be higher in the €5,000 to €15,000 range.

Can I start small with an MCP integration?

Yes, and we recommend it. Start with a few tools that only read, on one system. That sits at the lower end of the range. If it goes well, you can expand later.

Is the AI subscription included in the price of an MCP integration?

No. The price covers building the MCP server. The AI application you use, like Claude or ChatGPT, you pay separately to that provider.
