Up to now we built these for a handful of customers by hand. A boat school in Palma has had a connector talking to ChatGPT and Claude since May. A real-estate office for rural Mallorca too. An island travel guide as well. Each setup was its own project, we built it by hand, the customer waited two to four weeks.
With the AI Connector Workshop the same thing now takes one afternoon.
What an AI Connector actually is
Picture a new device. Years ago you needed a special cable with a special plug for it. Adapters, drivers, often it still did not work. Then USB-C came along. One plug for everything. Laptop, phone, monitor, printer, even some e-bikes. You plug it in, it works.
For AI it was long the opposite. Every platform had its own plugins, its own interfaces, its own rules. If you wanted ChatGPT to know your restaurant, that worked differently than if you wanted the same thing in Claude. Different again in Cursor. Different again in Grok. Four platforms, four projects, all incompatible.
MCP is the USB-C for AI. A standard supported by all the major providers, from Anthropic to OpenAI to Google. You build your business once as an AI Connector, and from that moment on all AI tools can talk to you. Claude understands you, ChatGPT understands you, Cursor and Grok too. We have offered this as our core service for a while, see our AI Connector service page. What the workshop adds is the self-service version.
The trend is real, and it is massive
This is no longer a bet. In November 2024 Anthropic introduced the protocol, that month there were roughly 100 thousand SDK downloads. In March 2026 it was 97 million downloads in a single month. That is a factor 970 over 18 months. By May 2026 there are between 9 and 22 thousand publicly registered connectors, depending on which directory you look at. Claude alone now lists over 375 ready-made connectors for Google Drive, Notion, Slack, Adobe, Spotify, Stripe and many more. ChatGPT adopted the protocol in mid 2025 through the Apps SDK, OpenAI is now running on the same standard. Google is following. In December 2025 Anthropic donated the protocol to the Linux Foundation, which makes it no longer a vendor standard but an official industry standard.
A survey of enterprise CTOs in early 2026 shows: 78 percent of enterprise AI teams have at least one MCP connector in production. 67 percent of CTOs say MCP will be their standard for AI integration within the next 12 months. CData, Microsoft, Anthropic and several others are currently building enterprise directories for connectors. So you are not joining a niche experiment. You are joining the infrastructure that will be as obvious as a website in two years.
ChatGPT currently has around 900 million weekly users. Claude reaches tens of millions. Both have grown steadily, both now support MCP. Whoever starts becoming visible in the next few months gets in before the platforms fill up. Whoever starts in 2027 will be one of many.
What that means in practice
You run a restaurant. A customer is sitting on her couch at home and asks Claude where she can get Neapolitan pizza in Palma tonight, party of five. Before, Claude would guess, search public websites, sometimes get it right and sometimes get it completely wrong. With your connector, Claude talks directly to you. Has your real opening hours, knows whether there are seats available tonight, knows your real menu including all allergens. If the customer wants to book, the request lands in your inbox before she even picks up the phone.
You run a hotel. A guest types into ChatGPT that he is looking for a small hotel on Mallorca, three nights in June, traveling with a dog, needs WiFi for remote work. ChatGPT talks to your connector, checks your real availability, your dog-friendliness, your internet speed, and suggests you. The guest says book it for me. ChatGPT forwards the request. You confirm, the guest gets his answer.
You are a tax advisor. A potential client asks Claude that he is self-employed, recently moved to Spain but still pays taxes in Germany, who can help him. Claude knows you, knows that you handle exactly this cross-border case, suggests you, forwards the first inquiry. You do not get twenty spam requests, you get one pre-qualified inquiry from someone looking for your specific specialty.
In all three cases you changed nothing on your website. You did not slog through SEO. You did not bolt a chatbot onto your page. You just have a plug. The AI tools come to you now.
How simple this is
You land on the workshop page and see eight tiles. Restaurant, hotel, yacht charter, tax advisor, coach, real estate, boat school, other. Click your industry, the rest is prepared.
In the next step you fill in what your business does. If you are a restaurant, the fields are already there: address, phone, opening hours, menu, a few frequent questions. If you run yacht charters, it is the boats, the routes, the skipper options. Nothing is invented, you type in what already exists somewhere in your business.
In the third step you click what your AI should be allowed to trigger. Book a table yes or no. Newsletter yes or no. Schedule appointment yes or no. Three or four toggles. You decide what your customers can activate directly and what needs an email instead.
In the last step your email address for notifications, and you confirm that we can get started. We then set up your connector. Within an hour you get an email with the address and the key. Plus ready-made snippets to copy. You are never asked to read code or understand JSON. You open Claude Desktop, paste one line, done. Same for ChatGPT, Cursor, Grok.
Why this is different from the big builder platforms
There are about fifteen other vendors on the market who promise something similar. MCPify shut down in August. Lovable and Bolt build entire websites with AI but no connectors. AutoMCP, MCPCore, mcpDploy, HasMCP are all from Silicon Valley, all English-only, all assume you are a developer. You are not clicking through fields, you are clicking through JSON schemas. If you are a tax advisor and not a programmer, that was not an option until now.
On the other side are the agencies that do this on an hourly rate. You place the order, you wait six weeks, you pay by the hour, in the end you have a connector too but the project was a project.
The workshop sits in between. As clear as a builder, but in German, for non-programmers, with industry templates that are not generic but built for Mallorca tourism and DACH SMBs. Fixed price, no hourly rate. EU hosting, GDPR-compliant, EU AI Act ready, so the moment the law goes into effect your solution is already compliant.
That is the gap we want to fill. Self-service speed, agency understanding, Mallorca know-how, German language. We know the industries because the customers are right here.
Beta phase, service as usual
We are honest about where we stand. The workshop is beta. The code is built, tested, secured with sixteen security layers, isolated database per customer, EU hosting. But it has not yet been put through its paces by hundreds of customers. We are starting with our own connector as the pilot, then with three to five existing customers, then we open it up step by step.
What that means for you as an early customer: if anything hangs during beta, if some tool does not respond the way we promised, an email does not arrive, an inquiry gets routed wrong, we fix it as always. You call us or you write an email, we look into it, we fix it. The same way we have worked with our web design customers for fifteen years. No hotline loop, no ticket number, no support bot. You reach us directly. That does not change during the beta and it does not change afterwards.
We see the beta phase as joint fine-tuning. You get a working connector early. We get early feedback on where our templates are still too generic, where industry-specific bits are missing, where the bot gives answers we need to teach better. Both sides benefit from doing this together now instead of in six months when everything is polished but also a lot slower.
Where we stand right now
If you are interested in being one of the first, write us a quick note at [email protected] or book an intro call via our AI Connector page. We talk through what you need, figure out whether the workshop variant fits you or whether your case calls for a custom build. We tell you the price before anything happens. What it costs we are still fine-tuning, because we are adjusting prices with the first pilot feedback. As soon as that is locked in, it goes transparently on the page.
Until then a phone call, fifteen minutes, and after that you know where you stand.
