Service: Custom MCP Server Development for AI Agents

Connect AI agents to your business systems efficiently with custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Lionwood helps you build MCP servers that give AI applications, like Claude and OpenAI powered agents, controlled access to APIs and data from internal tools. We provide full-cycle services from choosing the right tech stack and implementing OAuth to integrating existing services, testing, and deployment. Whether you’re a startup exploring AI or an established business looking to automate workflows, we can help you design, build, and ship an MCP solution that fits your specific needs.

When and Why MCP Server Development Matters
Give AI Agents Access to Business Systems

Give AI Agents Access to Business Systems

Your AI agent can generate code and answer questions, but it needs a reliable way to interact with your business systems. MCP servers connect AI clients with selected APIs, databases, and internal tools, enabling agents to retrieve information and perform authorized actions.

Simplify Complex Integrations

Simplify Complex Integrations

Connecting AI applications to a growing software stack through separate, bespoke integrations can be difficult to maintain. MCP provides an open standard for communication between AI clients and external tools, helping you build reusable connectors and manage integrations more efficiently.

Keep AI Access Secure and Controlled

Keep AI Access Secure and Controlled

Agents need clear boundaries when interacting with customer data, SaaS platforms, or business-critical systems. We implement appropriate authentication, OAuth where applicable, authorization rules, input validation, and read-only access when write operations are unnecessary.

From AI Experiments to Working Integrations

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI applications to discover and use tools and contextual information through a common interface. It can help join agents, chatbots, and other applications to existing business capabilities without requiring a separate integration for every client.

However, adopting MCP involves more than implementing a protocol specification. The server must work with your APIs, data models, permissions, infrastructure, and existing tech stack. Lionwood combines backend engineering, system integration, and AI development expertise to help you create a solution that supports real business workflows.

How We Organize Our MCP Development Process
01

Requirements and Use Cases

We identify the intended users, AI clients, systems, and workflows, and what the server should read, write or automate.

02

Architecture & Security Design

We define the implementation approach, access boundaries, and whether OAuth, read-only permissions, etc. are required.

03

MCP Server Development

We implement the server using a suitable language and SDK, such as TypeScript or Python.

04

Integration and Configuration

We configure permissions and connect the server to the required APIs, databases, SaaS tools, etc.

05

Testing and Validation

We test tool discovery, input handling, API, permissions, error scenarios, and validate read and write operations.

06

Deployment and Improvement

We package and deploy the server to the agreed environment, document its configuration, and support the next steps.

core MCP capability types: tools, resources, prompts

What you get
  • Custom server code aligned with your use cases and technical spec
  • Tools for approved operations, from retrieving inventory information to triggering business workflows
  • Resources and contextual information that help agents work with relevant data
  • Documentation and tests to support future updates and maintenance

Build an MCP server around your business logic instead of forcing your workflows into a generic connector. We implement the tools and context your agents need, using your existing APIs and data sources wherever practical.

MCP Solutions for Different Use Cases

MCP Servers for Business Applications

Connect AI agents to CRM platforms, customer portals, SaaS products, and internal business applications. Enable approved operations such as retrieving customer information, checking records, or updating data under defined permissions.

MCP Servers for Enterprise Data Access

Give AI applications controlled access to business knowledge, documents, databases, and operational data. Use read-only tools where retrieval is sufficient, with access rules aligned to the sensitivity of the information.

MCP Servers for AI-Powered Workflow Automation

Consolidate multiple systems so an AI agent can coordinate approved steps across a business process. Potential use cases include inventory checks, support workflows, reporting, and communication between internal tools.

MCP Server Modernization, Audit, and Hardening

Improve an existing implementation that needs better compatibility, stronger access controls, more reliable tool execution, or a clearer rollout process. We help identify issues, fix code where required, and prepare the server for evolving requirements.

Our Approach

We focus on practical integration outcomes rather than implementing technology for its own sake. Our team considers how agents will use your systems, how access should be controlled, and how the solution will be maintained after launch.

  • Use-case-driven methodology
  • Security by design
  • Clear tool boundaries
  • Fit with your existing stack
  • Maintainable delivery
OPTIMIZING AI ACCESS TO YOUR SYSTEMS
Client's problem
  • Business data is spread across disconnected systems and APIs
  • AI agents cannot interact with internal tools without a dedicated integration layer
  • Multiple connectors increase maintenance overhead as your tech stack evolves
  • Authentication and permissions make secure access more complex
  • Existing servers need debugging, testing, or other improvements
Solution

Lionwood develops MCP servers that connect AI agents with your existing systems. We handle implementation, integration, rollout, and auditing to help you build secure, maintainable connections between AI applications and business functionality.
