How does the TaxDome MCP server work?

Description and use

TaxDome’s MCP server lets AI assistants read/write firm data, but real‑client messaging and destructive actions need per‑action judgment. The test showed the gate blocks a terse delete‑and‑email instruction but mis‑ranks a fluent version.

Problem

TaxDome’s MCP server allows AI assistants to read and write firm data, but real‑client messaging and destructive actions pose safety risks without a per‑action judgment layer.

Outcome

The live gate test (Oct 31 2026) shows the decision layer correctly blocks a terse delete‑and‑email instruction (score 0.50 advisory) while mis‑ranking a fluent version (score 0.7778 advisory). Read‑only and create actions auto‑act with high scores. The test confirms the need for per‑action judgment beyond the rights ladder.

Workflow

• 1. Connect AI assistant to TaxDome MCP via custom connector. 2. Assistant issues a write instruction (e.g., delete tasks and email client). 3. Decision engine scores the instruction. 4. If score ≥0.80, action auto‑executes; if 0.50–0.79, assistant receives advisory; if <0.50, action escalates to human.
• 5. For allowed read or create actions, the assistant can auto‑act if score high.
• 6. All actions respect the connection‑time rights ladder (Read, Manage, Destructive).
