Business Central Integration
nunq integrates with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, enabling users to query ERP data using natural language through the AI assistant.
Overview
The Business Central integration connects nunq to your Business Central environment via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Once connected, users can ask questions about customers, vendors, inventory, financials, and more, and the AI will retrieve the relevant data directly from Business Central.
Supported Operations
The integration supports querying the following Business Central entities:
- Customers — Look up customer details, contact information, and balances.
- Vendors — Query vendor records and purchasing information.
- Items — Check inventory levels, item details, and pricing.
- Sales orders — Review sales order status and details.
- Purchase orders — View purchase order information.
- Invoices — Access sales and purchase invoice data.
- General ledger — Query general ledger entries for financial reporting.
- Chart of accounts — Browse the chart of accounts structure.
- Employees — Look up employee records.
Authentication
Two authentication methods are supported:
- OAuth 2.0 (cloud): For Business Central Online deployments. Uses Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) for secure authentication. This is the recommended method for cloud environments.
- Basic Auth (on-premise): For Business Central on-premise installations. Requires a username and password with appropriate API permissions.
Setting Up the Integration
- Navigate to the Admin section and then Integrations or Tools.
- Add the Business Central MCP server connection.
- Provide the required authentication credentials and your Business Central environment URL.
- nunq will discover the available tools automatically.
- Assign the Business Central tools to the assistants that should have access.
Example Use Cases
- "What is the current balance for customer Contoso Ltd?"
- "Show me all open purchase orders from this month."
- "How many units of item 1001 are in stock?"
- "List the top 10 sales invoices by amount this quarter."
- "What are the general ledger entries for account 6100 in February?"
The AI translates these natural language questions into the appropriate Business Central API calls and returns the results in a readable format.
