Live demonstration of the d365fo-security-mcp server — an open-source MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or any MCP-compatible client) direct access to D365 F&O security and licence data.
Ask an AI agent plain-English questions about your D365 Finance & Operations security and get answers in seconds — backed by live data from your environment.
No spreadsheets. No manual cross-referencing. Just a question and an answer. Built with Python, a bit of X++ and FastMCP. Free and open-source.
Topics Covered
- Connecting the MCP server to a live D365 F&O environment
- Security analysis: querying roles, duties, privileges, and user assignments
- Licence intelligence: calculating minimum licence tiers and detecting over/under-licensing
- What-if simulation: projecting licence impact before making role changes
- Compliance & SoD: segregation-of-duties conflict detection
- Security health scoring with dimensional breakdown
- PII redaction for audit-safe output
