Use Slingstone from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok
Your team already has an AI assistant open all day. With MCP, it can work with Slingstone too.

Why MCP matters
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to business applications. Instead of each vendor building a chatbot, your assistant of choice connects to the applications you use.
What your team can do
Ask what bills are waiting for approval, which licenses expire next quarter or why a payment was coded the way it was — and get answers from live Slingstone data. Assistants can also prepare work, like drafting a coding or a summary, for a person to review.
The same guardrails
MCP access uses the same roles and permissions as the application. Approvals, payment releases and other sensitive actions stay with people inside Slingstone.
Legacy tools vs. Slingstone
| Legacy tools | Slingstone |
|---|---|
| A vendor chatbot in a side panel | Your own assistant connected via MCP |
| Locked to one AI provider | Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok or any MCP client |
| Separate permissions for AI | Same roles and audit trail as the app |
