Build and edit Chuanyun business objects in Claude Desktop

The `create_biz_object` tool acts as the entry point for Claude Desktop to write new records directly into your Chuanyun database. This MCP integration lets your Claude Desktop agent read the structural requirements via `get_form_schema` and populate Chuanyun fields without you opening a browser. If a Chuanyun record needs correction, the Claude Desktop agent calls `update_biz_object` to modify specific properties in real-time. This eliminates manual data entry errors because Claude Desktop validates the payload against the live Chuanyun form schema before submitting the update.

Track approval workflows directly inside your chat window

The `get_workflow_history` tool pulls the complete audit trail of any Chuanyun process straight into Claude Desktop. Your Claude Desktop agent displays who approved what, when they did it, and where the bottleneck lies in your active Chuanyun pipelines. By combining this with `list_workflows`, Claude Desktop maps out your entire Chuanyun organizational structure. You get a clear view of pending Chuanyun items inside your chat without digging through legacy ERP menus.

Inspect schemas and forms with this Chuanyun MCP Server

The `list_forms` tool exposes the underlying architecture of your Chuanyun instance to Claude Desktop. The Claude Desktop agent queries `get_form_schema` to learn exactly what fields, types, and validation rules each Chuanyun business object expects. Once the Claude Desktop agent understands the schema, it uses `list_users` to assign Chuanyun tasks to the correct team members. This turns Claude Desktop into a control center for your Chuanyun ERP operations.
