Gainsight’s MCP Server for Staircase AI is already transforming how teams use AI, bringing live customer intelligence directly into the tools they work in every day.
AI is quickly becoming part of daily workflows. But most AI tools don’t actually understand your customers. They only know what you type into the prompt.
With MCP, that changes.
Gainsight MCP connects Staircase to tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini so every answer, recommendation, and summary is grounded in real customer context.
What is MCP?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol — an open standard that allows AI tools to securely connect to external systems in real time.
Instead of copying and pasting notes or uploading files, your AI can now query live Staircase intelligence directly. That means responses reflect what is actually happening in your accounts, not just static inputs.
If your AI tool supports MCP, it can connect to Staircase.
