Modern AI assistants should not operate in isolation, disconnected from the live project data and workflows that drive your business. Planisware’s standardized interface based on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) closes this gap by connecting Planisware’s AI agent, directly to external systems and AI agents.
MCP is an open standard that enables AI to securely access real‑world data and take action where work actually happens. With MCP, Planisware’s AI agent Oscar becomes a cross‑platform, context‑aware agent that can plug into many systems breaking down data silos, simplifying integrations, and delivering real‑time portfolio intelligence across your enterprise ecosystem.
The MCP feature at a glance
- Open‑standard MCP interface: A universal protocol that replaces custom, one‑off integrations with a single, scalable standard.
- Cross‑platform agent collaboration: Seamless interaction with any MCP‑compatible LLM‑based agent.
- Real‑time data retrieval & actions: Read live data, update records, and trigger workflows across applications.
- Persistent context: Planisware acts as a natural persistent storage and execution space for your MCP workflows.
- Enterprise‑grade foundation: Designed to reduce integration complexity while aligning with Planisware’s PPM, SPM, and agentic AI strategy.

Use cases
With seamless connections across tools and data sources, the possibilities are virtually endless. Planisware’s AI assistant, Oscar, can pull insights from your ecosystem (external sources, business tools, and collaboration platforms) in real time.
For example:
- Search for up‑to‑date customer / sales pipeline data from an external CRM system like Salesforce when scoping a new project. The gathered key account details, deal statuses, or support issues can be presented alongside project plans to ensure they account for key client commitments and to align initiatives, all without toggling between systems.
- Pull real-time project updates from a team messaging platform such as MS Teams during a meeting or group chat.
- Draw on market, risk, industry trend or regulatory intelligence from external sources to provide external context during project planning and risk management.
