Overview

BC-MCP is a server designed to provide standardized development rules and context for Business Central projects, optimized for use with the Cursor editor.

To use BC-MCP, clone the repository and include the necessary files in your project. Team members can simply clone the repository or copy the bc-rules.json and .cursor-context files to their project. Administrators can manage rules by editing the bc-rules.json or using a MongoDB database.

  • Static Rules: JSON-based rules for Cursor editor - Render Deployment: Easy deployment to Render.com - Fallback Mode: Works without a database connection - Team-Friendly: Rules automatically applied to all team members
  1. Standardizing development practices across Business Central projects.
  2. Facilitating team collaboration by ensuring all members follow the same rules.
  3. Simplifying deployment processes for Business Central applications.

Use these steps to connect Business Central MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bc-mcp-vanachterjacob": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-bc-mcp-vanachterjacob"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bc-mcp-vanachterjacob": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-bc-mcp-vanachterjacob"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bc-mcp-vanachterjacob": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-bc-mcp-vanachterjacob"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "bc-mcp-vanachterjacob": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-bc-mcp-vanachterjacob"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bc-mcp-vanachterjacob": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-bc-mcp-vanachterjacob"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bc-mcp-vanachterjacob": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-bc-mcp-vanachterjacob"
