Do I need to be a developer to connect The Pocket CA MCP Server?
No. For Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini... , setup is done entirely through each tool's settings interface - no coding required. You simply paste the MCP endpoint URL and your API key. Developer-level configuration is only needed if you are embedding the server into a custom LLM deployment or using the raw API.
Will my AI answer every question through The Pocket CA, or only accountancy questions?er?
Only accountancy-related questions trigger the MCP Server. Your AI intelligently routes queries - general questions are answered as normal, while questions about IFRS, ISA, SA Tax, audit procedures, or financial reporting automatically call The Pocket CA for a verified, cited response. You get the best of both worlds without any extra prompting.
How current is the knowledge base - what happens when a standard changes?
The Pocket CA's knowledge base is updated continuously. When a standard is revised - whether by the IASB, IAASB, or SARS - the MCP Server reflects the change immediately. Unlike pre-trained AI models that carry outdated information, every response you receive is drawn from the current, in-force version of the standard. No stale data, no outdated rates.
