Shine Tools MCP Server

Shine Tools MCP Server is an MCP server that provides access to tech radar recommendations, customer management records, product catalogs, and invoicing capabilities. Designed as a proof-of-concept integration, the server connects Model Context Protocol clients directly to external JSON data files acting as lightweight backends. Software teams, consultants, and business operators use it to query operational context and software standards through natural language. By exposing endpoints for querying tech radar entries, managing client profiles, retrieving product listings, and reviewing billing records, it enables AI assistants to reference business and architectural data without requiring manual lookups across disparate flat files or administrative portals.
