AFAS AI Connect, by iWebDevelopment, is a hosted MCP server that connects your AFAS Profit administration to your AI assistant. Ask questions, pull reports, and prepare bookings for approval, right from the chat you already use.
Hosted at https://mcp-afas.iwebdevelopment.com. Sign in through your browser on first use; no tokens to paste into your AI client config.
Get started in about 2 minutes. See the installation guide to connect your administration.
Works with Claude on all plans (including the free plan); also with ChatGPT (Developer Mode, paid plans), Perplexity (Pro/Max/Enterprise), GitHub Copilot in VS Code, Cursor and other developer tools. Availability and setup differ per client. See the client compatibility matrix below.
- Ask: plain-language questions about your administration ("Wat heb ik klant X vorig kwartaal gefactureerd?").
- Report: outstanding items, aging, profit & loss, balance sheet.
- Create & book with approval: every write is a draft you review and approve first. Nothing posts to AFAS Profit without your confirmation.
- Analyse: large-dataset analysis and trend overviews, on the Analytics plan.
- "Toon mijn tien recentste verkoopfacturen met het openstaande bedrag."
- "Welke debiteuren staan nog open en hoe lang?"
- "Wat heb ik klant X vorig kwartaal gefactureerd?"
- "Omzet per klant per maand dit jaar."
- "Kolommenbalans voor deze periode."
- "Maak een verkoopfactuur voor klant X (ter goedkeuring)."
AFAS authenticates with an AppConnector token, not a per-user login, so an administrator connects the environment once. In AFAS, go to Algemeen › Beheer › App connector and add a new one (Nieuw):
- Give it a description (e.g. "AI Connect") and set Authenticatietype to Classic token (confirm the two security prompts).
- Enable Automatisch token genereren and choose Maak nieuwe gebruikersgroep op basis van App connector-naam.
- Link the required connectors via Nieuw › select › Voltooien.
Then register the generated token with AFAS AI Connect. The installation guide walks through every step. After that, everyone you invite just signs in through their browser.
- Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
- Paste the base URL:
https://mcp-afas.iwebdevelopment.com - Sign in through your browser when prompted.
On the free plan you can add one custom connector. On Team/Enterprise, an owner adds it org-wide.
For a legacy mcp-remote fallback, see examples/claude-desktop-config.json (optional, not required).
/plugin marketplace add iwebdevnl/afas-ai-connect
/plugin install afas-ai-connect@iwebdevnl-afas
/reload-plugins
/mcp
The last command signs you in.
Prefer to add it manually? claude mcp add --transport http afas https://mcp-afas.iwebdevelopment.com
AFAS AI Connect is a standard remote MCP server, so most MCP-capable clients (ChatGPT, Perplexity, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Zed, and others) can add it by URL. Setup steps and plan requirements vary per client, see the matrix below.
See the full documentation for per-client setup.
