Precisely has developed a lightweight setup using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect APIs with large language model (LLM) interfaces like Claude Desktop. This approach eliminates the need for writing boilerplate code and allows for intuitive exploration of services through conversational interfaces. MCP offers a standardized method for AI applications to connect with APIs, data, and tools, enabling LLMs to dynamically decide which functions to invoke in response to user prompts. This aligns with Precisely’s goal of making it easier to integrate high-integrity data with applications and workflows. An MCP server was built to wrap all available endpoints from Precisely APIs, resulting in a code-light environment where Claude Desktop can execute API calls automatically based on a user’s request. The MCP server supports natural language prompts and enables instant access to location intelligence tools and rich datasets without requiring any code. It also helps scale the impact of data programs across the organization without adding to developer workload.
