A CONNECTION WITH CONTEXT
Your assistant.
Your operation.
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the connection between a compatible AI assistant and ORCA’s supported tools. Your assistant asks for information; ORCA retrieves it from your connected company.
- Connect your assistant.
We’ll confirm compatibility and configure the ORCA connection for your company.
- Ask a practical question.
Your assistant uses available tools to retrieve relevant ORCA records.
- Review the answer in context.
Keep the location, reporting period, data coverage, and source limitations visible as you decide what to do next.

AN ANSWER YOU CAN PUT IN CONTEXT
The number is only
part of the answer.
Useful assistance keeps the business record, scope, and limitations alongside the result.
MAIN · UNITS
Which scope?
Keep locations, units of measure, and reporting periods attached to the result.
HISTORY ≠ FORECAST
What does it mean?
Historical demand informs planning. It does not guarantee future demand or place a purchase order.
ACCESS & CONTROL
Useful access.
Clear boundaries.
Start with a defined business question and the tools needed to answer it.
Connected to your company.
The MCP connection authenticates a user and checks ORCA permissions before making tools available and when calling them.
Read-focused business tools.
The inventory, demand, order, shipment, and collection tools shown here read records. They do not change stock, place orders, or collect payments.
Define the next step.
Some configured workflows can write generated files or support specialized imports. We’ll review their scope and controls separately before including them in your setup.
A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Start with clarity.
Do I need to understand MCP?
No. Tell us which assistant you want to use and what you need to accomplish. We’ll walk through compatibility, the connection, and the available tools.
Can it work with our QuickBooks or NetSuite setup?
The assistant accesses supported data in ORCA. What is available depends on your ORCA configuration and the records connected through your existing integrations. This is not unrestricted access to every feature in QuickBooks or NetSuite.
Will AI automatically change inventory or orders?
The inventory and order tools featured on this page are read-only. They do not automatically adjust stock, purchase products, or change orders.
Does this predict demand?
ORCA supplies historical demand data for analysis. Historical demand is not a guaranteed forecast or an automatic replenishment decision.
What should we bring to a demo?
A business question, the systems you use, and your preferred AI assistant. We’ll identify the supported workflow and the access it needs.
BUILT AROUND YOUR BUSINESS
Connect assistance to the questions your business asks.
We can scope additional tools and integrations around a defined business need. Data access, permissions, and any actions beyond the read-only examples on this page are designed and reviewed as part of that scope.
