An MCP connection (Model Context Protocol) that lets you operate Exact Online Construction from AI assistants. Ask in natural language about projects, generate instalments, log hours and query calculations.
Anyone using Exact Online Construction: general contractors (B&U), installers (electrical, mechanical, HVAC), civil engineering & GWW, and subcontractors/freelancers. From 1 project to 100 projects at a time.
Yes — and with Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Perplexity, Grok, Cursor and OpenClaw. Add the MCP server to your AI tool and work directly with your Exact environment.
Your Exact Online Construction API key is stored encrypted and your AI assistant signs in to Bouw Botje via OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. All traffic via HTTPS. Your data is kept per administration in its own, isolated database. Read-only by default, and you can revoke the connection at any time.
Yes. For instalments and subcontractor flows Bouw Botje follows the fiscal settings configured in Exact Online Construction. Nothing to configure twice.
MCP = Model Context Protocol. An open standard for AI assistants to safely talk to external systems. Retrieve data and perform actions through a fixed set of tools — you decide whether the AI may only read or also write.
Yes. Basic: 1 administration. Advanced: up to 10 administrations (handy for construction groups). Enterprise: unlimited. Switch easily from your AI assistant.
Yes. Bouw7 is the former name of Exact Online Bouw (Exact Online Construction), the construction software from Exact. Bouw Botje connects to that same environment: you still sign in at start.bouw7.nl and create your API key there.
