The MCP Standard Tools SuiteApp offers enhanced AI-driven interaction with NetSuite data, integrating seamlessly with NetSuite's existing roles and permissions. This SuiteApp is designed to work with the NetSuite AI Connector Service using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling natural language inputs to manage and query your NetSuite data effectively. Starting in NetSuite 2026.1, this feature continues to enhance its capabilities for natural language queries.

Key Features

  • Query NetSuite in natural language - Describe the data you need, and your AI client will automatically construct and run the appropriate SuiteQL query to retrieve it.
  • Access NetSuite reports - View and interact with NetSuite reports directly from your AI client.
  • Create and update records - Use your AI client to create new NetSuite records or update existing ones.
  • Access saved searches - Run saved searches through your AI client.
  • Permission compliance - All data access and actions are determined by your NetSuite role and permissions. The tools don't provide any additional access beyond what your NetSuite role allows. Your ability to view data, perform operations, or use specific tools depends on the permissions assigned to the NetSuite role you use to connect.

How MCP Standards Tools Work

The interaction starts by installing the MCP Standard Tools SuiteApp from the SuiteApp Marketplace. Users then invoke tools through conversational AI after connecting to the NetSuite AI Connector Service. The AI client interprets commands, displays tools and actions available, and translates these into suitable NetSuite API calls. This enables task execution within NetSuite, with results returned directly to the user's AI interface.

The MCP Standard Tools SuiteApp enables you to interact with NetSuite data using conversational AI. The typical workflow includes the following steps:

  1. Install the MCP Standard Tools SuiteApp
    Install the MCP Standard Tools SuiteApp from the SuiteApp Marketplace. For installation instructions, see Installing the MCP Standard Tools SuiteApp.

  2. Invoke Tools through Conversational AI
    After installing the SuiteApp and connecting to the NetSuite AI Connector Service, you can access the available tools in your AI client. Open your AI client and start a conversation using natural language commands or queries.
    The AI client interprets your request and presents a set of available tools and actions. For more information about the available tools, see Available Tools in the MCP Standard Tools SuiteApp.

  3. Perform Operations
    When you make a request through the AI client, the SuiteApp translates your command into the appropriate NetSuite API calls or operations.
    The SuiteApp performs the task in NetSuite and returns the results to your AI client, where you can view the outcome directly in your conversation interface.
