MCP integrations in Dunedin.
MCP integrations designed around the way a Dunedin team actually runs.
Dunedin runs on health, education and professional services, where every hour lost to paperwork is an hour away from students, patients and clients. We give it back.
Dunedin, up close.
Dunedin's economy is led by healthcare and social assistance, education and training, and professional, scientific and technical services, and the University of Otago contributes about 15 per cent of the city's GDP.
The University of Otago supports about 9 per cent of Dunedin's workforce. Otago Anniversary Day falls on on or near 23 March.
What MCP integrations actually do
Wire Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini directly into your tools with the Model Context Protocol. With the right workflow automated, nine hours of admin a week could drop to about one.*
*Illustrative example only, based on 9 hours a week of admin falling to about 1 hour a week. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
Already buried in admin? We'll sort the first workflow for you :)
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*
*Illustrative, based on 9 hours a week of admin at a typical 80% automation rate. The calculator uses your own numbers.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What MCP integrations covers
Existing AI tools become 10x more useful with real business context.
- Custom MCP servers for your CRM, ERP, or in-house tools
- Permission-aware so AI only sees what each user can
- Tool-call audit log for compliance
- Works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
- No shelfware or licences you do not use
- No AI theatre
From one-person trades to national organisations, we find the hours :)
The questions a public sector buyer asks, answered up front: privacy impact, the NZISM, where the data lives and how an algorithm is held to account.

Questions Dunedin businesses ask
What if our Dunedin doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For MCP integrations specifically, we typically run that work on MCP, Claude, TypeScript, Vercel and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Dunedin businesses that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
Anyone else in this space using MCP integrations?
Plenty. Existing AI tools become 10x more useful with real business context. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" - it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.
What does the Privacy Act 2020 mean for AI?
The same rules apply as for any system holding personal information. A breach that could cause serious harm must be reported to the Privacy Commissioner, who expects it within 72 hours.
Can the AI run on New Zealand-hosted cloud?
Yes, the options now exist. Microsoft opened a New Zealand cloud region in December 2024 and AWS followed in September 2025, both with local data residency.
