Claude × TM1 –
AI in controlling that makes your cube talk.

Claude AI brings AI in controlling straight into your TM1 model: via the MCP server, Claude reads cubes, comments on variances, writes values back, and calculates forecasts. No export, no copy-paste.

  • Direct access to cubes, dimensions & hierarchies
  • Real-time write-back – versioned & auditable
  • Role-based & secure – your permission system still applies

Six ways to use AI in controlling. This is how Claude works with your cubes.

Everything runs through one secure MCP server – your data stays in IBM TM1, and Claude reads, comments, and writes back conversationally. That makes AI in controlling practical for finance teams. More on the strategy behind it →

01

Automated monthly report

P&L, sales, and balance sheet straight from the cube – as a commented Word document in your corporate design.

≤ 5 min · Word output
02

KPIs commented & written back

Claude analyzes variances, writes the comment, and writes it straight back into the TM1 cell.

Write-back · Versioned
03

AI forecast with write-back

Holt-Winters forecast based on actuals, written back into the cube automatically – actuals and forecast stay separate.

Holt-Winters · Scenarios
04

Conversational cube analysis

Ask instead of filter: “Why is the South region under budget?” – Claude searches dimensions & hierarchies and answers directly.

Ad hoc · Natural language
05

Trigger scenarios & TI processes

Start what-if calculations and TurboIntegrator processes by conversation – no TM1 client, no scripting knowledge.

What-if · TI processes
06

Proactive anomaly alerts

Claude monitors cube metrics in the background and flags outliers before they show up in the month-end close.

Security & compliance

Enterprise-ready. Security at every level.

The MCP server is the control layer between IBM TM1 (Planning Analytics) and Claude AI – no direct data access, fully audited.

Authentication

Every Claude access is authenticated against the TM1 permission system.

Role-based authorization

P&L, sales, and balance sheet stay cleanly separated – you define who sees what.

Audit log

Every action by Claude is logged – traceable for auditors.

On-premises ready

Data doesn’t leave your infrastructure – with on-premises TM1, no cloud required.

The MCP server is the only connection between IBM Planning Analytics and Claude – controlled, logged, role-based.

Quick reference

MCP server: Control layer that translates Claude’s natural-language commands into defined read/write access to TM1 – without direct database access for the AI.

Write-back: Values or comments are written back into the cube directly and versioned, instead of just being displayed.

Holt-Winters forecast: Statistical method for forecasts that accounts for trend and seasonality.

TurboIntegrator (TI): Scripting language of Planning Analytics for data loading & automation – can be triggered by Claude in natural language.

The MCP server is the control layer between IBM Planning Analytics and Claude AI. It translates Claude’s language understanding into read and write access to TM1 cubes, dimensions, and hierarchies – without direct database access for Claude.

Yes. Every access is authenticated against your existing TM1 permission system, authorized by role, and logged in the audit log. With on-premises TM1, data doesn’t leave your infrastructure.

No. You trigger reports, KPI comments, forecasts, and cube queries conversationally in natural language – without a TM1 client or scripting knowledge.

Yes. The MCP server architecture is on-premises ready – no cloud required.

The MCP server connects to your existing TM1 model without any changes to cubes, dimensions, or hierarchies. In the showcase session, we show the integration live with your real TM1 data, so you can estimate the effort concretely up front.

The cost depends on cube complexity, number of users, and the desired use cases – such as reporting, write-back, or forecasting. In the free 15-minute call, we work out the concrete effort based on your TM1 model.

Classic TM1 reporting runs through manual queries in the TM1 client, in Excel, or in Planning Analytics Workspace. Claude × TM1 instead enables conversational queries in natural language and writes comments or forecasts back into the cube directly, with versioning.
