Avaza ships an MCP server, opening its professional-services suite to AI clients

Current state
Avaza is moving on two fronts: a notable strategic push — an MCP server that exposes projects, time-tracking, and billing data to AI clients — and steady product improvements (custom project statuses, a rebuilt subtask model with assignees and time tracking). Educational content reinforces the professional-services positioning around capacity, risk, and resource planning.
Where it's heading
Avaza is positioning itself to become the system AI agents read from and write to when a professional-services workflow needs context — quotes, billable hours, project status. The MCP server is the infrastructure for that bet; the subtask rebuild and status customization narrow the gap with heavier-weight project management tools. Cadence is moderate, but the MCP move is unusual for an SMB-focused vendor.
Prediction
Expect use-case content showing the MCP server driving Claude or ChatGPT workflows around timesheet entry, invoice drafting, and project status updates. Further automation surfaces (webhooks, agentic billing) are likely follow-ons given the MCP foundation.
