Turn a recommendation into a brief.
Ask for a practical brief: what to improve, what the first phase includes, who is involved, and how you will know it works.
Brownsmith Dynamics / Business Advisor
Business advice,
inside your
AI assistant.
Find the work worth improving. Describe a bottleneck, walk through a process, or explain where customer enquiries get lost. The MCP helps you decide whether a simpler process, automation, or AI fits, and prepare a practical first phase for Brownsmith to review. You can contact us from the same AI conversation.
Start with the work you already do

What is an MCP?
A connection between your assistant and useful tools.
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It lets an AI assistant use tools and information from another service during a conversation. This advisor supplies Brownsmith's business frameworks and returns structured recommendations. You keep using the assistant you already know.
What the advisor does
Choose a starting point.
You do not need a finished brief. Describe what happens today, where it goes wrong, and what you want to change.
Business review
Work out where to start.
Share your industry, customers, main problem, current processes, and goals. The advisor returns likely bottlenecks, efficiency and growth opportunities, and priorities for now, next, and later.
You also get the assumptions, missing information, and a recommended next step.
Example prompt
We run a manufacturing business. Customers email drawings, estimators prepare quotes, and salespeople follow up manually. Quotes are delayed and follow-ups get missed. Analyse the business and show where automation or AI would help.
Workflow review
Look at the process step by step.
Describe the workflow in order, including the people, tools, volume, and known problems. The advisor maps the current process and proposes what to remove, automate, support with AI, or leave with a person.
Use the quick wins and implementation priorities to choose a small first change.
Example prompt
Our agency collects reporting data manually, drafts client updates, and gets them approved by an account manager every week. Simplify this workflow. What should we remove, automate, support with AI, and keep with a person?
Customer enquiries
Review the path to an enquiry.
Describe the business, target customer, current channels, and acquisition problem. The advisor uses Signal, Place, Presence, Action, and Learning to review your offer, discovery, online presence, enquiry path, and feedback.
The advisor reviews the information you share. It does not inspect your website for you.
Example prompt
We are a local plumbing business serving homeowners. Our website gets visits but few enquiries. Customers find us through local search and referrals. Review our acquisition process and prioritise the first changes to test.
Ask about Brownsmith when relevant.
Get our contact details and find the Brownsmith service that fits the problem you have described.
How recommendations are made
Improve the process before adding AI.
Sometimes the answer is a simpler handoff or a reminder. Sometimes it is a draft that saves reading time. The advisor separates these jobs.
Unnecessary work
Duplicate entry, redundant steps, and avoidable handoffs.
Predictable repetition
Copying data, reminders, status updates, and routine collection.
Interpretation and drafts
Summaries, requirement extraction, enquiry classification, and first drafts.
Judgement and exceptions
Negotiation, pricing approval, strategy, and customer relationships.
The advisor works from the details you share and asks for what is missing. It helps you choose a next step, then sends an enquiry to Brownsmith only after you have reviewed and approved the message.
Use it where you work
In a conversation.
Or an agent workflow.
Use the advisor in ChatGPT or Codex, or choose a supported setup for Claude. Describe one business problem, work through the recommendations, and prepare an enquiry when you are ready.
For agent workflows, Hermes Agent and Claude Code also support MCP tools. Connection options vary by client; our guide explains the available setups.

A useful scope makes
a quote easier.
You do not need to write a project brief from scratch. Work through the problem with your assistant, then ask it to prepare a Brownsmith enquiry.
01 / Describe
Bring one real task.
Explain who does it, the software involved, what goes wrong, and the result you want. The advisor flags missing details and keeps assumptions separate.
02 / Scope
Choose a first phase.
Turn the recommendation into a brief with boundaries, integrations, constraints, and acceptance criteria. The advisor can calculate an indicative cost from the supplied hours and Brownsmith's approved starting rates. The final quote needs our review.
03 / Send
Contact us in the chat.
Ask: “Prepare an enquiry for Brownsmith.” Review the exact message, add a reply address, and confirm before sending. The plugin forwards that message to our existing Telegram inbox; the rest of your conversation is not sent.

Indicative pricing
Start with a realistic budget.
Niche work starts at USD $25/hour. Depending on the work, the rate can be $40/hour or more; $40 is not a ceiling. Maintenance is usually around $200/month, scoped separately.
Ask the advisor to estimate a first phase. It uses the hours you supply, shows the cost assumptions, and identifies what still needs confirmation. It does not invent an effort estimate or issue a binding quote.
For context, Clutch's September 2026 pricing guides report US software development rates of $50–$99/hour and web development rates of $100–$149/hour. These are broad market ranges, not quotes for an equivalent MCP project. At an illustrative 20 hours, Brownsmith's $25 starting rate comes to $500, compared with $1,000 at the $50 software benchmark. A $40 rate comes to $800; actual work may cost more. Scope, hours, hosting, and support still matter.
We use AI to help with research, drafting, and routine implementation. The aim is to spend less time on preparation and pass that efficiency on through the project scope. Human review, testing, and agreed acceptance criteria remain part of delivery. Judge the value by the finished work and total cost, rather than the hourly rate alone.
An MCP for your business
Give your assistant
your business context.
This advisor uses public business frameworks. An MCP built for your company can connect an assistant to approved knowledge and selected tools your team already uses.
Start with one recurring task and the information it needs. We scope the data, permissions, integrations, and review points around that task, then define a practical first phase. This is part of our AI integration work and business efficiency service.
Answers from approved information
Help staff find product details, policies, or process instructions without searching several folders.
A clearer view of work in progress
Bring selected CRM or job-status information into a conversation, subject to the user's access.
Less preparation before a decision
Prepare a quote brief, report, or customer summary for a person to check. Keep sending, pricing, and other important actions behind approval.
Tell us what your team keeps doing manually.
Send the workflow, the tools you use, and the result you want. We will help decide whether an MCP, an automation, or a simpler process is the right starting point.

Common questions
What can the Brownsmith Business Advisor MCP do?
It reviews supplied business context, simplifies workflows, audits customer acquisition, matches relevant Brownsmith services, creates an implementation brief, and prepares a contact enquiry. With your approval it can send the reviewed enquiry to Brownsmith through Telegram.
Can I get an approximate quote?
Yes. Work starts at USD $25/hour and can cost $40/hour or more, depending on the scope. Maintenance is usually around $200/month, scoped separately. Supply a planning estimate of hours and the advisor can show indicative costs. It does not invent hours or issue a binding quote; Brownsmith confirms the scope and final pricing.
Do I have to leave ChatGPT or Claude to contact Brownsmith?
No. After connecting the advisor, ask it to prepare an enquiry. Review the exact message, provide a reply address, and confirm before the sending tool forwards it to Brownsmith. WhatsApp, email, and the contact page are alternatives.
Does this MCP inspect my website or change my systems?
It analyses the information you provide. It does not fetch websites or change your business systems. Sending a reviewed contact enquiry is a separate action that requires confirmation.
