How Does the Integration Work?
Step 1: Connect Tally Prime with EasyReports Tally Connector
EasyReports uses its inhouse Tally Connector to extract data from Tally Prime. The connector automatically collects information such as:
- Master (ledger Items, Groups)
- Transactions
- Stocks & Ratio
- Trial balances
Step 2: Store the Data in SQL
After collecting data from Tally Prime, EasyReports Tally Connector stores it in a structured SQL database.
Example: Instead of searching through thousands of Tally entries, the SQL database organizes customer balances, sales figures, inventory records, and financial data in a structured format.
Step 3: Connect SQL MCP Server
The SQL MCP Server acts as a secure bridge between the SQL database and Claude AI. It allows Claude AI to access only the required business information when users ask questions.
Example:When someone asks: “What is the outstanding amount from XYZ Traders?”
Claude sends the request to the SQL MCP Server. The SQL MCP Server retrieves the information from the SQL database and returns the answer.
Step 4: Ask Claude AI Questions
Once connected, users can ask questions.
Examples:
- What are my top 10 overdue customers?
- What is my GST liability this month?
- Which products have not moved in the last 90 days?
Claude retrieves the information and presents it in an easy-to-understand format.
Step 5: Use AI-Powered Insights
Claude AI can do more than retrieve numbers. It can help users understand what those numbers mean.
Example:
You ask: “Why is my profit lower this month?”
Claude may identify:
- Increased purchase costs
- Lower sales revenue
- Higher operating expenses
- Increased inventory carrying cost
