Works Applications, Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Osamu Hata; hereinafter “WAP”) is pleased to announce that “HUE Composable ERP” and“HUE Business Platform” (collectively referred to hereinafter as “HUE”) now supports the “Model Context Protocol” (hereinafter “MCP”), a common standard that securely and flexibly connects generative AI with external systems.With this support, AI agents will be able to utilize business data and processes on “HUE” to perform practical tasks across enterprise-specific applications running on ERP systems and business platforms for major corporations. Moving forward, “HUE” will continue to serve as the operational foundation for the AI agent era, accelerating the adoption of AI and business transformation within Japanese companies.

[Background of Development] The Arrival of the AI Agent Era and WAP’s Vision

　With the evolution of generative AI, we are entering an era where AI agents collaborate with humans to autonomously perform business tasks. However, achieving this requires an advanced collaborative environment capable of safely and accurately leveraging vast amounts of business data and processes.To address this challenge and create an environment where AI agents can thrive as “trusted team members” working alongside humans, WAP has implemented MCP in “HUE.”Without relying on individual API calls, this expands the interoperability between “HUE” and AI agents, creating an environment where AI agents can safely utilize business data and processes to perform tasks.

[Key Features of the Initiative] MCP Support Across All Areas of “HUE”

　The key feature is that MCP support extends not only to the full range of functions in “HUE”—the ERP system for large enterprises—including financial accounting and procurement, but also to the company’s proprietary applications built on the HUE Business Platform.This enables an environment where all operational tasks—from data search, extraction, and batch processing within the ERP system to processes within the company’s proprietary applications—can be directly instructed and executed via AI agents.

[Future Outlook] Strengthening the Foundation as a “Trusted Team Member”

　Going forward, we will continue our efforts to make the deep business insights accumulated by “HUE” easier for AI to understand.Specifically, in addition to execution functions via MCP aligned with various business processes, we will strengthen features that allow appropriate governance and permissions to be granted to the AI. Through this, the AI will seamlessly support operations ranging from routine core business tasks to company-specific business areas, evolving “HUE” into a “trusted team member.”
