Software factory: Use your project with Claude, ChatGPT or Grok
Connect your live app to an AI assistant through the app's own MCP server, and ask questions about its documents and data.
Every software factory app runs its own MCP server at /api/mcp on its live
address, for example https://your-app.on.chipp.ai/api/mcp. Connect it to an
AI assistant and the assistant can read your project’s documents, files and
data, so you can ask about the project without clicking through the app.
Connect
Sign in to the live app and open Settings, AI assistants. It shows the app’s MCP URL with a copy button and one button per client:
- Add to Claude opens Claude’s custom connector form with the URL filled in. Confirm it, then sign in to the app when Claude asks. On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds the connector and members click Connect.
- ChatGPT copies the URL and opens ChatGPT’s connector settings. Choose “Add custom MCP server” and paste it. Whether you can add one depends on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings.
- Grok copies the URL and opens grok.com/connectors. Choose New Connector, Custom, and paste it. On Grok Business or Enterprise an admin sets it up first.
Every client signs you in through the app’s own sign-in, with your own account. The assistant sees what your role in the app allows, nothing more.
What the assistant can see
- The app’s documents and files, including generated PDFs.
- A description of the app’s data model.
- Read-only queries over the app’s data, limited in rows.
It never sees sign-in data, secrets or tokens. A viewer can only read. Writes need an editor or higher role, and only through tools the app offers for them.
Viewers
A viewer invited to the project can connect too. This is the fastest way for someone reviewing a project to ask questions about it.
