AI / Agent access (MCP)
AI / Agent access lets you connect your own AI assistant — Claude (desktop, web, or CLI), ChatGPT, or a custom agent — to your Logistified data over MCP (the Model Context Protocol). Once connected, you can ask your assistant questions about your purchase orders, suppliers, inventory levels, stock takes, and more, in plain language, and it reads the answer straight from Logistified.
In the Logistified admin this is the “LLM / Agent Access” tile inside Cloud PlatformCloud PlatformA separate, browser-based interface for warehouse devices — tablets, phones, handheld scanners. Logs in via a session link generated from inside Logistified. Enhanced-plan feature. Read more → (top nav → P&H Cloud Platform (Beta) → LLM / Agent Access).

What you can do with it
Section titled “What you can do with it”Connect an AI assistant and ask things like:
- “Which open purchase orders are arriving in the next two weeks?”
- “List my suppliers with the longest lead times.”
- “What’s the on-hand quantity for SKU ABC-123 across all locations?”
- “Summarise my most recent stock take.”
- “Which products in my main forecast view are about to run out, and how much should I reorder?”
The assistant reads live data from your store and answers from it — no copy-pasting, no exports.
How it works (code mode)
Section titled “How it works (code mode)”Logistified exposes a single, powerful tool to your assistant called run. Instead of the assistant chaining dozens of small requests, it writes a short program against a typed app API and Logistified runs it once, safely, in an isolated sandbox:
run("return await app.purchaseOrders.list({ status: 'open' });")This “code mode” approach lets the assistant filter, join, and summarise your data in one step — for example, listing open POs, joining them to supplier names, and sorting by arrival date — without you writing any code yourself. You just ask in plain language; the assistant writes the program.
Your assistant can also read this very documentation site through two helper tools (list_docs and get_doc), so it can ground its answers in how Logistified actually works.
Read-only by default
Section titled “Read-only by default”By default, AI / Agent access is read-only: your assistant can look at your data but cannot change anything. If you explicitly grant write access (a write-scope API key, or a web chat connection granted write when it’s linked), the assistant can also operate your purchase orders, transfer orders, stock takes, supplier returns (RMAs), and reorder rules, your supplier directory and cost mappings, scheduled reports, notification rules, and email recipients, and your saved forecast views. Products, locations, and sales orders remain read-only. See the operating pages below for what each write surface covers.
