The Ignition MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP-compatible assistants read and change your Ignition account in plain English, and as at September 2026 it is on every plan at no extra cost. This covers what it reaches, how to connect it in three steps, and a real session that went from discovery call to two draft proposals in under four minutes.

A beta integration turns a recorded client meeting into a draft Ignition proposal in one click, built from the firm’s own service library and pricing. How it works and how it is rolling out.

MCP for accountants, explained (without the jargon)
MCP is the plug standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT talk directly to the software your firm already runs, which is why Xero, Ignition and half your app stack suddenly mention it. Here's what it actually does, what's verified versus vapour, and the questions to ask any vendor before you connect it to client data.

Agentic AI in accounting, explained (before a vendor explains it to you)
Every accounting software keynote now says "agentic," and most of the audience is nodding along without a working definition. Here's what an AI agent actually is, which agents are real in accounting today versus demo-reel material, and the three questions that matter more than anything a vendor shows you on stage.
