A useful comparison follows the same case in both products. Read publisher-documented capabilities, then check steps, permissions and exports in a demo: the platforms may cover different parts of the process.

Define the outcome and records
For this topic the control starts with MCP authentication, available operations and change confirmation.
An AI assistant interprets a request; an MCP connector exposes authorized tools and data. A connection does not make every operation available: exposed tools, the user’s role and required confirmation determine what can run.
Start with a search limited to one client or project. Request identifiers and sources, review the result and then test a change on a demonstration record. Check proposed fields before confirmation and inspect the record afterward.
A pilot on the complete workflow
Connect a limited-access user and request a read, then a change. The test should show available operations without widening permissions simply to make the demo work.
Before the demo, write three required outcomes and one acceptable tradeoff. Value recovered time only after measuring on the same basis. Have the actual owner complete a cycle and retain errors, corrections and final output. If the pilot stops halfway, identify the missing module, integration or step in the quotation.
Rules, exceptions and work cost
Define who enters, corrects and approves records. Test an incomplete record, a duplicate and a change after closure. The decision changes when records can be exported with relationships rather than manually reconstructed. Count licenses, onboarding, team time and integration maintenance separately.
