MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors let you connect NetSuite to external AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude. But this approach comes with significant tradeoffs in setup complexity, security, and ongoing maintenance.

nsGPT takes a different approach: a native NetSuite application that's purpose-built for the platform, with over 1,000 tools ready to use from day one.

Tools & Actions
1,000+ built-in tools covering saved searches, record actions, workflows, and more.
Requires custom programming for each "tool" you want. Limited out-of-the-box functionality.
Where It Runs
Hosted entirely inside your NetSuite environment. Data never leaves NetSuite.
Relies on external AI services. Your prompts and data pass through third-party systems.
Updates & Maintenance
Automatic updates with new features included at no extra cost.
Manual maintenance required. New features need custom development.
Cost Structure
Simple, predictable pricing. All features included.
Pay for AI API usage (ChatGPT/Claude) plus development time for each new tool.

Why Native Matters

Enterprise Security

Your data stays in NetSuite. nsGPT runs entirely within your NetSuite environment, so sensitive business data never passes through external AI services.

Zero Setup Per User

No API keys, no external accounts, no manual configuration. Users log into NetSuite and nsGPT is ready to use with their existing permissions.

1,000+ Built-in Tools

Saved searches, record creation, workflow triggers, report generation — all ready to use. MCP connectors require custom development for each capability.

The Bottom Line

MCP connectors are a workaround. They bolt external AI onto NetSuite, creating complexity, security concerns, and ongoing maintenance burden.

nsGPT is purpose-built for NetSuite. It's faster to deploy, easier to manage, and more secure by design.
