MCP servers

MCP server development to make your product usable by AI agents

Make your product usable from ChatGPT, Claude and other AI agents with a secure MCP server, agent-ready APIs and llms.txt.

Starting price

From €1,900

The final price depends on scope. You get a fixed quote or a day-rate estimate before any work starts.

Make your product usable from AI assistants

Many of your customers already work inside an AI assistant. They ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to look things up, draft, plan and update records. If your product can't be reached from there, they copy and paste between windows, or they pick a tool that can be reached. An MCP server fixes that: a small, well-defined layer that lets an assistant call your product's tools with the user's own permissions.

This service is for SaaS founders, product leads and CTOs who want their app to work in that setting, and for teams who want AI assistants to use internal systems safely. If you want AI features inside your own interface instead, see AI integration.

What a good MCP server needs

A demo server that answers one call is quick to build. One your customers can rely on takes more care:

  • Tools shaped around tasks, not around your database tables. "Find my open bookings for next week" works better than five generic endpoints, because the assistant picks the right tool more often.
  • Clear names and descriptions, since they are what the model reads when it decides what to call.
  • Real authentication. Each user connects their own account through OAuth and only sees their own data.
  • Guardrails on write actions: permission checks, confirmation for anything destructive, rate limits and an audit log.
  • Testing in real clients, because each assistant handles tool calls slightly differently.

Proof

I built the MCP server for WithMaslow, a personality assessment platform, with Laravel MCP on top of the Laravel 13 API I rebuilt for the product. AI clients can use the product through it, alongside the AI-generated insights that run inside the app.

I work in both Laravel and TypeScript, so the server can live inside your existing back end instead of becoming a separate system to maintain. For a Laravel product, this pairs naturally with Laravel development.

What affects the price

MCP server projects start from €1,900; you get a fixed quote after a short scoping call. The main factors:

  • the number of tools, and whether they only read data or also change it
  • whether there is an existing API to build on
  • internal use by your own team versus OAuth for every customer
  • how many AI clients must be tested and documented

Being usable by AI agents goes beyond MCP. If you also want your public pages read and cited by AI assistants, technical SEO and performance covers structured data and llms.txt.

Start with a short call

Send me the tasks you'd like your customers to hand to an AI assistant. I reply within one working day, and after a short call you get a written proposal with a fixed price. Get a quote for an MCP server.

How we work

  1. 1

    Discovery call

    We list the tasks your users would hand to an AI assistant and the data and actions each of those tasks needs.

  2. 2

    Tool design

    I write a short spec of tools, inputs, outputs and permissions for you to approve before I build anything.

  3. 3

    Build and test

    I build the server, add OAuth and permission checks, and test every tool in real AI clients, with a demo each week.

  4. 4

    Launch and handover

    I deploy, write the connection guide for your users and hand over the code and docs, or stay on for maintenance.

Frequently asked questions

What is an MCP server and why would my product need one?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor connect to outside tools and data. An MCP server for your product lets your users ask their assistant to read or change things in your app, with their own permissions. Your product becomes usable from inside the tools your customers already work in.

How much does it cost to build an MCP server?

MCP server projects start from €1,900 for a focused server with a handful of tools on top of an existing API. Servers that need OAuth for every customer, many write actions or a new API underneath cost more and are quoted after a short scoping call. You get a fixed price before work starts.

Do we need an API before you can build an MCP server?

No. If your app has no public API, I can build the MCP tools directly on your back end, which Laravel MCP makes straightforward in Laravel apps. If you already have a REST or GraphQL API, the MCP server can sit on top of it and reuse its permissions.

Is it safe to let AI agents access our customers' data?

It is when the server is designed for it. Each user signs in with OAuth and the server only exposes what that user is already allowed to see. Write actions get explicit permission checks, every call is logged, and rate limits stop runaway usage. Destructive actions can require confirmation or be left out entirely.

Which AI assistants can connect to an MCP server?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers, which today includes Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and VS Code. Before launch I test the server in the clients your users actually work in, because each one handles tool calls a little differently.

Can you add an MCP server to our Laravel or Nuxt app?

Yes. I built the MCP server for WithMaslow with Laravel MCP, on the Laravel 13 API I rebuilt for the product, so AI clients can use it. For Node.js and Nuxt projects I use the TypeScript SDK or Nuxt MCP Toolkit.
