You Can Now Talk To Your FileMaker App In Natural Language

What Is MCP?

Claris MCP gives FileMaker developers a practical path to secure, scalable AI integration. It exposes FileMaker data and scripts to AI assistants, so people can interact in natural language, while you still control what is allowed.

What Does MCP Stand For?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It was introduced by Anthropic as an open standard for connecting AI assistants to the systems where data lives.

What Is Claris MCP?

Claris MCP allows you to connect an AI assistant to what you deliberately expose. This gives you full control over security, permissions, and business logic.

How the Connection Works

Claris MCP uses a simple configuration snippet; a JSON object containing your FileMaker Server URL and a static authentication token.

An MCP client uses this information to establish a secure connection with your FileMaker solution and discover only the resources you’ve chosen to expose.

Takeaways

• If you build FileMaker systems, you can let users ask questions in plain language against what you expose.
• You can let an assistant run approved actions through scripts you choose to expose.
• You can keep the rules where they belong: inside FileMaker security and business logic.
