MCP bridge into your CRM

A CRM report in a minute: asking your sales numbers inside the CRM

A manager asks in plain language, Claude reaches into the CRM through a bridge that carries their own permissions, and returns the numbers they are allowed to see. Everyone gets their own view. Nobody downloads a spreadsheet.
