MCP integrations in Tauranga.
MCP integrations that lives in your stack, not on a vendor's roadmap. Shipped from Bay of Plenty.
Tauranga, up close.
The Port of Tauranga is New Zealand's largest export port, and forestry, kiwifruit and dairy make up almost 75 per cent of its exports.
Most of New Zealand's kiwifruit crop is exported through the Port of Tauranga. Kiwifruit picking and packhouse work run from about March to mid-June.
Tauranga ships the forestry, kiwifruit and dairy that fill New Zealand's export vessels. We automate the logistics paperwork, packhouse rosters and invoicing behind every container.
On the tools or running at scale, the admin still eats the week :)
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.
*Illustrative example based on nine hours a week of admin. Actual results vary by workflow and business.
How much is the admin really costing 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.
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.
Not your typical AI agency.
*Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. Results vary by workflow and business.
One workflow.
In production.
In weeks.
What MCP integrations covers
We'd call the engagement a success when Tauranga teams are using the system without thinking about us.
- 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
Straight answers
What if our Tauranga 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 realistic outcome for Tauranga businesses?
Existing AI tools become 10x more useful with real business context. We don't promise tenfold lifts because we don't see them outside of marketing decks.
How fast could we have MCP integrations in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Tauranga businesses. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
Can it remind us about the annual return?
Yes. Every company must file an annual return with the Companies Office each year, separate from its tax return.
Does it keep up with KiwiSaver changes?
It has to. The minimum employer contribution rose to 3.5 per cent on 1 April 2026 and rises to 4 per cent on 1 April 2028.
