How does the Twinfield AI Connect connector work?

Written by Yannick van den Bergen | Jul 8, 2026 9:51:36 AM

What does Twinfield AI Connect do exactly?

Twinfield AI Connect is an MCP connector (Model Context Protocol) that lets you link your Twinfield administration to an AI tool such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot. Once the connection is active, your AI tool can access your Twinfield data directly. Safe, real-time and without technical knowledge.

Instead of building overviews yourself, clicking through daybooks or making exports, you simply ask a question. The AI retrieves the right data from your Twinfield administration and presents it straight away.

How do you work with it?

The approach is the same for every AI tool: you add the connector link, connect your Twinfield administration once and after that you simply ask your questions. Below are 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 turn on Developer Mode yourself; with Business and Enterprise an administrator can arrange or restrict this. Developer Mode is still in beta.
1Go to Settings → Security and login and turn 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 Twinfield AI Connect) and paste the connector link into the server URL field. Choose OAuth as authentication.
5Click Create. You are redirected to Twinfield. Log in and click Authorise. You only need to do this once.
6Open a new chat, choose Developer mode via the + menu, turn on the connector and ask your first question.
Tip: mention in your question that you want to use Twinfield AI Connect, so ChatGPT picks the right source straight away.
Claude
Works on all subscriptions, including the free one. 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 Twinfield's login screen. Log in and click Authorise. You only need to do this once.
6Open a new chat and ask your first question.
Tip: you turn 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. Please 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 the server.{ "mcpServers": { "twinfield-ai-connect": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp-twinfield.iwebdevelopment.com" } } }
3Start the CLI. You are asked to log in to Twinfield in your browser. Log in and click Authorise.
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 licence. 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 Twinfield AI Connect), a short description, and paste the connector link into the Server URL field.
5For authentication choose OAuth 2.0 → Dynamic discovery.
6Click Create and then Add to agent. You log in to Twinfield once and click Authorise.
Please note: Copilot Studio is an environment for building agents, not an ordinary chat. Have you not set that up yet? We are happy to get you started.
