AI Integration & MCP for OpenEdge

Enable AI with your existing OpenEdge applications

Modern AI systems need controlled, structured access to enterprise applications. This includes:

• Business logic
• Enterprise workflows
• Business data
• Transactional operations

Consultingwerk helps organizations integrate existing OpenEdge applications into AI-enabled architectures using MCP, APIs, and structured service layers. This allows AI systems to interact with established business capabilities without bypassing the application logic and processes behind them.

From OpenEdge business logic to AI workflows

We create the technical foundation that allows OpenEdge applications to participate in modern AI scenarios, including:

MCP server integration
Expose OpenEdge capabilities to AI applications through structured MCP interfaces.

AI-driven workflows
Integrate AI capabilities into enterprise processes and operational workflows.

Enterprise assistants
Connect OpenEdge functionality and data with conversational AI and enterprise assistants.

Structured data access and RAG
Provide AI solutions with controlled access to relevant OpenEdge business data and knowledge.

This is much better than just saying “Key capabilities,” because the heading tells a story.

Accelerate OpenEdge modernization with AI

AI can also support the modernization and development process itself. AI-assisted workflows can help teams:

• Analyze ABL codebases
• Identify dependencies and modernization opportunities
• Generate business entities and service layers
• Support frontend modernization
• Accelerate structured refactoring

Combined with Consultingwerk's development tools and SmartComponent Library, AI can become a practical accelerator for OpenEdge modernization — supporting developers rather than replacing established engineering processes and expertise.

Built on practical OpenEdge experience

Our approach to AI and MCP is informed by practical implementations, prototypes, and knowledge shared with the OpenEdge community through PUG conferences, community events, AI modernization webinars, and MCP workshops.
