AFAS AI Connect is an MCP connector (Model Context Protocol) that lets you link your AFAS Profit administration to an AI tool such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot. Once the connection is active, your AI tool can reach your AFAS data directly. Safe, real time and without any technical knowledge.
Instead of running reports by hand, clicking through menus or making exports, you simply ask a question. The AI pulls the right data from AFAS Profit and presents it straight away.
How do you work with it?
It works the same for every AI tool: you add the connector link, connect your AFAS Profit environment once and after that you just ask your questions. Below you will find the exact steps for each tool.
This is the connector link you add to your AI tool:

Choose your AI tool
ChatGPT
Requires a paid ChatGPT subscription (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Education). On Plus and Pro you switch on Developer Mode yourself; on Business and Enterprise an administrator can arrange or restrict this. Developer Mode is still in beta.
1Go to Settings → Security and login and switch on Developer Mode. Confirm the notification.
2Go to Settings → Plugins (or open chatgpt.com/plugins directly).
3Click the plus button to create a developer-mode app.
4Give the connector a name (for example AFAS AI Connect) and paste the connector link into the server URL field. Choose OAuth as the authentication.
5Click Create. You will be redirected to the connection page of iWebDevelopment. Fill in the details of your AFAS Profit environment and connect. You only have to do this once.
6Open a new chat, choose Developer mode via the + menu, switch on the connector and ask your first question.
Tip: mention in your question that you want to use AFAS AI Connect, so ChatGPT picks the right source straight away.
Claude
Works on all subscriptions, including free. With a free account you add one connector.
1Click Customize in the left sidebar.
2Click Connectors in the menu.
3Click the + next to Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
4Give the connector a name and paste the connector link into the URL field. Click Add.
5Click Connect next to the connector. Your browser opens the connection page of iWebDevelopment. Fill in the details of your AFAS Profit environment and connect. You only have to do this once.
6Open a new chat and ask your first question.
Tip: you switch the connector on and off per conversation via the + button at the bottom left, under Connectors.
Not working right away? Are you using the Claude desktop app? Close it completely (on Mac with Cmd+Q, the cross only closes the window) and start it again.
Gemini
The standard Gemini app cannot yet add its own connector via a link. This works through the Gemini CLI (for technical users) or through Gemini Enterprise. Note: Google is moving its CLI tooling to Antigravity CLI, so the exact commands may differ per version.
Via the command line
1Install Google's Gemini CLI on your computer. Follow Google's installation instructions; the tooling is shifting to Antigravity CLI.
2Add the connector to your MCP configuration under mcpServers, with the connector link as server.{
"mcpServers": {
"afas-ai-connect": {
"httpUrl": "https://mcp-afas.iwebdevelopment.com"
}
}
}
3Start the CLI. You are sent in your browser to the connection page of iWebDevelopment. Fill in your AFAS Profit details and connect.
4Type /mcp to check whether the connector is active and ask your question.
Working with Gemini Enterprise? Then an administrator registers the connector as a custom MCP datastore with the connector link and OAuth. We are happy to help you with that.
Copilot
Requires a Copilot Studio license. With a free 30-day trial you can test first. Make sure generative orchestration is switched on.
1Open your agent in Copilot Studio and go to Tools.
2Click Add a tool and then New tool.
3Choose Model Context Protocol.
4Give the connector a name (for example AFAS AI Connect), a short description, and paste the connector link into the Server URL field.
