The outcomes of classification lookups.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes your business data into structured industry identifiers.

ACCURACY

Precise NAICS codes

The AI identifies specific codes that match the business activity you describe. This removes the guesswork from manual lookups.

STRUCTURE

Standardized categories

You get a clean list of industry classifications. This makes it easy to group or filter your data later.

SPEED

Instant code matching

Instead of searching through manuals, your agent pulls the right classification immediately. It handles the search logic for you.

REVIEW

Human verification

The AI presents the suggested codes for you to check. You make the final call on whether the code fits the specific risk profile.

The workflow

What your AI does when a classification request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your raw business descriptions and the official classification standards.

  1. Analyze business activity

    Your agent reads the description of the company or entity you are assessing. It looks for keywords that trigger specific industry matches.

    suggest_naics

  2. Retrieve code options

    The AI pulls potential NAICS matches from the database. It provides the specific numbers and titles that fit the context.

    suggest_naics

  3. Browse industry trees

    If you need to see the broader hierarchy, the agent pulls the full list of available industry groupings.

    list_classifications

  4. Finalize selection

    The AI presents the best matches to you. You review the results and confirm the correct classification for your records.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI automatically update my database with these codes?

    No. The AI suggests and identifies the codes, but you must manually input or sync them to your own database.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide the final industry code for me?

    No. The AI provides the most likely matches based on the data, but you are responsible for the final verification.

  • 03

    Can I use this to find codes for any business?

    Yes, as long as the business activity can be mapped to the standard NAICS or classification structures provided by the tools.

  • 04

    What happens if the AI can't find a match?

    If the business activity doesn't fit the available classifications, the AI will tell you it cannot find a specific suggestion.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete existing industry data?

    No. This MCP only has tools to suggest and list classifications. It cannot modify or delete your existing records.
