# What is Tugger AI Insights?

Tugger AI Insights lets you ask questions about your business data using everyday language — no reports to build, no formulas to write. Connect Tugger to an AI platform like Claude, and simply ask things like *"Who are my top 10 customers this quarter?"* or *"How many hours did the team log last week?"*

The AI queries your live Tugger data and gives you answers in seconds.

## How it works

Tugger AI Insights uses **MCP (Model Context Protocol)** — an open standard that lets AI platforms securely connect to your data. Instead of exporting data or copying it into a chat window, the AI connects directly to Tugger and queries your data in real time.

Here's the flow:

1. **You connect** your AI platform (e.g. Claude) to Tugger's MCP server
2. **You authorise** via a secure OAuth login — the same kind of login you use with Google or Microsoft
3. **You ask a question** in plain English, and the AI fetches the answer from your Tugger data

There's nothing to install and no API keys to manage.

## Which AI platforms are supported?

| Platform | Status |
| --- | --- |
| **Claude** (Anthropic) | ✅ Available |
| **ChatGPT** (OpenAI) | ✅ Available |
| **Gemini** (Google) | ✅ Available |
| **Cursor** (Anysphere) | ✅ Available |
| **Perplexity** | ✅ Available |

We're always looking to add more platforms. If there's one you'd like to see, [let us know](https://tuggerapp.com/Contact).

## Security & access control

AI Insights is designed with security at its core:

- **OAuth authentication** — no passwords or API keys are shared with the AI platform. You log in securely through Tugger each time.
- **Per-user connector access** — your Tugger admin controls exactly which connectors each user can access through AI Insights. A user can be given access to none, one, or multiple connectors.
- **Your data stays yours** — the AI platform queries your data on demand. Tugger doesn't send your data to AI platforms in bulk.

Access is managed in the **Tugger MCP Configuration** section. See [Tugger MCP Configuration](/docs/tugger-mcp-configuration) for details on managing user access.

## What can you ask?

The beauty of AI Insights is that you don't need to know your data structure — just ask what you want to know. Here are some examples by connector type:

**Accounting & Finance** (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage 50)

- "What's our total revenue for the last 3 months?"
- "Show me all overdue invoices over £1,000"
- "Which customers owe us the most right now?"

**CRM & Sales** (HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM)

- "How many deals did we close this month?"
- "What's our average deal size this quarter vs last?"
- "Which sales rep has the most deals in pipeline?"

**Project & Job Management** (Simpro, Jira, monday.com)

- "Which jobs are currently overdue?"
- "What's our average job completion time?"
- "Show me all open jobs for customer X"

**Time Tracking** (Clockify, Harvest, Deputy)

- "How many hours did the team log last week?"
- "Who logged the most billable hours this month?"
- "What's our billable vs non-billable split?"
