Explore how Bizzdesign applies Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bring natural language queries to your EA data.

If you needed to know which applications deliver the most value, how transformation is progressing, or where your biggest risks lie, how long would it take? 

For enterprise architects, the answers already live in the enterprise architecture (EA) repository. For others across the business, they're often locked behind tools, formats, or language that make it harder to access.

That's what we set out to change.

With Model Context Protocol (MCP), Bizzdesign connects enterprise data to popular AI tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude, enabling natural-language, context-aware interactions with your Bizzdesign environment. Authorized users from all areas of the business can ask questions and get trusted insights instantly, in plain language and within the tools they already use.

So, What Does This Actually Look Like In Practice?

MCP allows users to ask questions and get clear, explainable responses drawn directly from their Bizzdesign EA repository.

Role-based access and existing governance remain intact, so people see only what they're authorized to see, and every response can be traced back to repository elements, viewpoints, and dashboards.

Example 1: How does our application portfolio deliver business value, and how can we improve it?

Key Capabilities

Building on the examples above, MCP is an enabler of faster, more effective work by translating plain-language questions into real-time, actionable insight that fits the task at hand. Within seconds, data turns into the exact view a team needs ––whether that's a quick summary for a meeting, a visual for leadership, or a detailed breakdown for analysis. You decide the scope, such as: "limit to EMEA", "last quarter", "by capability", or "by risk category" and the system updates in real time.

  • Instant insight discovery 
    Ask plain-language questions in AI tools such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or Claude and receive answers drawn directly from your Bizzdesign environment.
     
  • Trusted, governed context 
    Every result is generated within existing enterprise standards for access control, data integrity, and compliance. Role-based permissions, audit trails, and traceable references ensure full transparency.
     
  • Collaborative decision-making 
    MCP connects architecture insights to everyday tools used across the business. Architects, analysts, and business managers can all explore the same information, removing silos and improving coordination.
     
  • Role-based visibility 
    Executives can see how strategy translates into operations. Portfolio managers can evaluate risk and progress. Architects can focus on design and optimization instead of manual reporting. Each role sees what's relevant to their decisions.
     
  • Flexible integration 
    MCP supports multiple AI chat environments, giving organizations freedom to adopt or combine tools that best fit their ecosystem.

Putting Insight in Everyone’s Hands 

We said “empower everyone,” and here’s what that means across different roles in the enterprise.

  • Enterprise architecture teams: Spend less time translating data and more time shaping the future state. MCP gives architects the means to share context instantly, demonstrate value, and guide transformation with evidence-based insight. 
     
  • Leadership: Gain immediate visibility into strategy execution, risk, and performance. Instead of waiting for reports, leaders can explore live insights and make informed decisions with confidence. 
     
  • Portfolio managers and transformation leads: Get a clear view of dependencies, risks, and progress across initiatives. MCP helps prioritize investments and align delivery with strategic outcomes. 
     
  • Risk and continuity managers: Use MCP to surface dependencies and assess the impact of disruptions instantly. When something changes — a system outage, a supplier issue, a regulatory update — they can trace the effect across processes, applications, and capabilities in real time. 
     
  • Operations and process owners: Understand how their systems and workflows connect to enterprise objectives. When questions arise, they can quickly see the impact of change and plan accordingly. 
     
  • Business functions: HR, finance, and other non-technical teams can access relevant information without technical expertise. With MCP, they can ask questions in plain language and get trusted answers grounded in enterprise data. 

Bringing EA Insights Into the Boardroom 

In the State of Enterprise Architecture 2025 Report, 47% of the most mature organizations ranked “delivering more strategic insights to senior management” as their top priority. It’s a clear signal that EA teams are being asked to use their findings to amplify their influence. And to do that, they need a faster way to make their insights visible, relevant, and actionable. 

With Bizzdesign, those insights are no longer confined to specialist tools or a handful of experts. Anyone can access them directly, securely, and in a way that makes sense for their roles. MCP gives teams a faster, clearer path from information to decision. And that’s where AI becomes a true enabler. 

When AI Works the Data, You Work the Decisions 

AI has come a long way in recent years, and the way we use it keeps evolving fast. One thing’s certain, it’s here to amplify human capabilities, not replace them. 

With MCP, enterprise intelligence becomes accessible, explainable, and actionable. It’s a step toward a more connected way of working, where insight flows easily between people and decisions follow shared understanding.
