Custom MCP Server Development
RedZen builds custom MCP servers that connect AI assistants to your tools and data — with authentication and scoped permissions — so an assistant can look things up and take real actions in your systems safely. Cost and delivery date are agreed before work begins.
We ship MCP in production
Managable, our own product, is exposed to AI assistants over MCP.
Scoped and secure
Authentication and permissions so the assistant only does what it is allowed to.
Fixed price
Cost and delivery date agreed before we start — never hourly.
When an AI assistant needs to reach your systems
An assistant that can talk about your business but cannot actually look anything up in it.
The risk of giving AI access to real systems with no permission boundaries.
Brittle one-off integrations that break the moment the assistant or the API changes.
No standard way to connect the tools and data an assistant needs to be useful.
A custom MCP server exposes exactly the tools and data you choose to compatible AI assistants — with authentication and scoped permissions — so the assistant becomes genuinely useful inside your workflow without opening the door too wide.
What you get
Custom servers
MCP servers that expose your specific tools, data and actions to compatible AI assistants.
Secure access
Authentication and scoped permissions so the assistant only does what it is allowed to.
Real actions
Beyond reading data — letting the assistant safely perform tasks in your systems.
Your data sources
Connections to your databases, APIs and internal tools.
Reliability
Built and tested so the integration behaves predictably, not just in a demo.
Proven in our own product
We expose Managable, our own SaaS, to AI assistants over MCP — so this is a pattern we run, not just recommend.
- A custom MCP server for your tools and data
- Authentication and scoped permissions
- Connections to your data sources
- Documentation for connecting assistants
Custom MCP servers, built for your tools
Off-the-shelf connectors rarely fit a real business. We build a custom MCP server around your specific databases, APIs and internal tools, exposing exactly the actions you want an assistant to be able to take — and nothing more. The result is an assistant that can genuinely operate inside your workflow, not just describe it.
We run this pattern ourselves: Managable, our own product, is exposed to AI assistants over MCP, so we build from experience rather than theory.
Secure, scoped access — the safety model
Giving an AI access to real systems is only sensible with real boundaries. We design authentication and scoped permissions so the assistant can only reach the data and perform the actions you have explicitly allowed, with consequential actions gated where needed.
That boundary design is the core of the work — see our explainers on the Claude API and how Claude Code works for the underlying mechanics.
Common questions
What is an MCP server?
A server built to the Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to your external tools and data in a structured, secure way. We build one custom to your systems.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data so they can look things up and take actions, rather than only talk.
Is it safe to give AI access to our systems?
With scoped permissions and the right limits, yes. Designing those boundaries — what the assistant can reach and do — is a core part of the work.
Which assistants does it work with?
Any client that supports MCP. We build the server; compatible assistants connect to it.
Have you actually built one?
Yes — Managable, our own product, is exposed to AI assistants over MCP, so this is a pattern we run in production, not just advise on.
What can an assistant do through it?
Whatever you allow — from reading data to performing real actions in your systems. The permission scope is defined during the build.
What does a custom MCP server cost?
It depends on the tools and data involved, so we agree a fixed price after scoping — set before any work begins, never hourly.
Do we own it?
Yes. The server, the code and the integrations are yours, with no lock-in to us.
