One old database. Now the whole company connects through it.
It started as a small MCP server so Claude could read one large, old FileMaker database. While building it I kept adding: writing that asks first, more of the company’s services behind the same connector, and the permissions from one central service, which now decide who can read, write or run what. Today it is the connector for every Claude account in a small company.
