MCP Tools

autoGMS exposes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint that lets AI assistants — like Claude Desktop and ChatGPT — interact with your Garage data directly. List bookings, search customers, create invoices, and run reports using natural language.

What is MCP?

MCP is an open protocol that allows AI assistants to call external tools. When you connect autoGMS as an MCP server to your AI assistant, the assistant can invoke Garage operations on your behalf.

Available Tools

autoGMS exposes 192 tenant-scoped MCP tools covering bookings, customers, vehicles, invoices, payments, inventory, reports, settings, and more.

See the Tools Reference for the complete catalog.

Getting Started

• Connect with Claude Desktop
• Connect with ChatGPT

Authentication

The MCP endpoint is protected by OAuth 2.1 and accepts Bearer access tokens only — there is no cookie or browser-session fallback. The MCP URL itself is unchanged; authorization happens automatically on first connect:

1. Your MCP client discovers the authorization server from /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource (advertised in the WWW-Authenticate header of the initial 401 response).
2. The client dynamically registers itself with autoGMS (no manual client ID/secret setup required).
3. You are redirected to sign in at /auth/sign-in and then to grant access at the /consent screen.
4. The client receives a Bearer access token and uses it for all subsequent MCP requests.

You must be a member of the Team and Garage you want to access, and the MCP feature must be enabled on your plan. Tenant access is gated by the MCP_TENANT feature key (FEATURE_KEYS.MCP_TENANT).
