BackEngine MCP

What it does

Most companies wire Claude or ChatGPT into Slack, email, calls, tickets, and their CRM over one singular MCP. That's raw pipes into scattered systems. The model reads a slice and guesses at the rest. BackEngine MCP connects to the same tools, but reads everything first, joins all of it into one permissioned record per account, kept current, so Claude and ChatGPT always work from the whole picture. Head-to-head: 67% fewer errors, 2.4x more key facts, 65% fewer tokens vs. direct connectors.

BackEngine turns scattered company knowledge into secure, permission-aware, source-linked context so enterprise AI can deliver grounded, trustworthy answers.

The hottest new role companies are hiring to solve their AI problem. Connect your systems to BackEngine once. Control what data AI can access, who can access it, and how it is used—from one place. Account prep, risk scans, forecast reviews, win walls — work your AI can’t do today because it can’t see your data. With BackEngine, it just works. Right the first time, without re-prompting or babysitting — measured head-to-head against AI wired straight into your systems. The same AI output takes 81% fewer tokens . Context that arrives clean and organized is cheaper to reason over — and the savings compound across every seat, every ask. Leading to ~$2,500 / user in savings per year. All of…from backengine.com

    Hi HN, I’m a product designer by background, not a traditional software engineer. Over the last year, tools like Claude and ChatGPT completely changed how I work. I started with small internal tools, and now I’m “vibe coding” multiple highly personalized apps. As I iterated between Claude Code (implementation) and ChatGPT (ideation / thinking), I kept running into the same problem. To think clearly, I had to repeatedly re-explain: - what the code currently does, - what changed recently, - and why certain decisions were made. That re-summarization step became a real bottleneck. So I…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
