Support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enable AI integration

It would be fantastic if Rolodex supported the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP provides a standardized way for large language models (such as ChatGPT) to securely and contextually interact with external data sources through a clean API abstraction.
By implementing MCP, Rolodex would enable AI systems to ask intelligent, high-level questions about contacts, companies, communication history, and relationship data — without requiring custom API work for each use case.
Example AI use cases:
- “Who on my team has had a lot of recent interactions with CFOs in the past 6 weeks?”
- “Give me a list of CEOs we've been in touch with who work in construction companies.”
- “Who have we talked to about ERP recently?” (based on email and calendar subjects)
- “I'm organizing an event about SAP in Brussels for C-level executives — which contacts from my network should I invite?”
- “What are the top 5 industries that my colleague [name] has engaged with over the past 12 months?”
- “For each Rolodex team member, show the top 5 companies they've interacted with during the selected period.”
- “Give me a list of companies we’ve had contact with in the last 24 months that have between 20–500 employees and are active in one of the following sectors: fire detection, access control, or video surveillance.”
Benefits:
- Smarter, context-aware assistance from AI, powered by real-time Rolodex data
- No need for one-off API integrations or ad hoc queries
- Interoperability with AI platforms that support MCP (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Microsoft, Google DeepMind, LangChain, N8N, MuleSoft, ...)
- High value for knowledge-driven sales, business development, and relationship teams
- Enables a new class of conversational analytics and opportunity discovery based on existing relationship data

The speed at which AI is going, this needs to be a priority. Based on recent research and talking to people in the AI space, MCP is a gamechanger to integrate and automate our businesses. The fact that there is not a lot of upvotes, shows how most people are behind and not up to date with AI real use and capabilities. This could and would be a huge boost for your CRM too. We wish to recommend Rolodex and Dex to our network, our partners/suppliers and our clients, but will do so when MCP is live. Our network is growing fast and is around the niche of quiet luxury and artisans. API is not great and outdated.
