# 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.
