Dext AI Connector (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot

Dext launched AI Connector, a read-only MCP integration that lets accounting and bookkeeping practices ask Claude, ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot plain-language questions about their own Dext practice data, such as client health scores, hours by client, cash positions and missing accounts.

Why it matters

For practices on Dext Advanced that already use a general-purpose AI assistant. It lets partners pull answers from their own Dext data without switching dashboards, while keeping the connection read-only.

What's new

MCP integration listed in the Claude directory and ChatGPT's plugins; Copilot access is arranged through Dext support or an account manager.
Read-only and permission-aware: it surfaces only data the user can already see in Dext and cannot make approvals or changes.
Covers practice insights, client management, compliance, workflows, data health and team data; Dext says AI Assist usage and supplier rules are not included yet.
A firm admin enables it once for the workspace, then each user authorizes with their own Dext practice account.
Available to Dext Advanced practice accounts in the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; not yet for Dext Business accounts.

Worth a look if: Your practice is on Dext Advanced and partners want quick answers about client status or team hours from the AI assistant they already use.

Worth knowing: Client data retrieved to answer a question is processed by the chosen AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic or Microsoft) under that provider's data policies, so check your enterprise AI terms first. Dext notes answers are written by the AI tool and can be wrong, especially estimates such as tax figures.
