Founders OS launches to give AI clients direct access to business data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Founders OS is a new open-source MCP server designed to provide AI clients with direct access to a business's operational data, such as CRM, financials, and tasks. Developed by OurThinkTank, the system emphasizes self-hosting and data ownership, allowing users to connect their existing PostgreSQL databases and run the AI context layer without sending sensitive information to a third-party backend.
