Ask it about your apps, look up or add data, and build or change apps without opening Biscuit. ## What it is You can connect an AI assistant you already use, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to your Biscuit workspace. Then you can work with your Biscuit apps from inside that assistant, without opening Biscuit. Biscuit connects through **MCP** (Model Context Protocol), the open standard AI assistants use to work with other tools. In your assistant, you add Biscuit as a *custom connector* or *custom MCP server*. Once it's connected, the assistant can: * **Answer questions about your workspace:** which apps you have and where they're published. * **Look up or add data:** for example, *"How many bookings came in this week?"* or *"Add Maria as a new customer."* * **Build and change apps:** for example, *"Add a contact form to my website."* * **Use your apps' tools:** actions your published apps offer to assistants, such as *create a booking*. See [Apps with tools](#apps-with-tools). This is most useful when you're already working in your assistant, for example writing a report or going through your email, and need something from Biscuit without switching apps. ## How it works The assistant passes your requests on to Biscuit's AI for your workspace and brings the answers back to you. Connecting takes a few minutes and works the same way in every assistant: ![Connected Assistants Settings](https://mintcdn.com/flits-886e81a8/LaE9FrOGJ8kyz29L/images/connected-assistants-settings.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=LaE9FrOGJ8kyz29L\&q=85\&s=47816d390ece1030664e0212621f6498) 1. In Biscuit, open **Settings** → **Connected assistants**. 2. Click **Copy** next to the address `https://api.biscuit.so/mcp`. 3. In your assistant, add a custom connector and paste the address. See the [setup steps for Claude and ChatGPT](#setup-steps-for-claude-and-chatgpt) below. 4. The assistant opens a Biscuit page. Sign in if you're asked to. 5. On **Connect … to a workspace**, choose the workspace the assistant can work in, read what it will be able to do, and click **Connect**. 6. Go back to your assistant and ask it something. For example: *"Ask Biscuit which apps are in my workspace and where they're published."* A connection works in **one workspace only**: the one you pick when you connect. The assistant never gets your Biscuit password and can't reach your other workspaces. To work in a second workspace, connect the assistant again and pick the other one. Changes the assistant makes to your apps don't go live straight away. They appear as pending changes when you click **Publish** in your app, and go live when you publish. > [!TIP] > > Any assistant that supports custom connectors or remote MCP servers can connect to Biscuit, not only Claude and ChatGPT. ### Seeing and disconnecting assistants Every assistant you've connected is listed in **Settings** → **Connected assistants**, with its workspace, when you connected it and when it was last used. To disconnect one, click **Disconnect** next to it and confirm. The assistant loses access straight away. You can connect it again from the assistant at any time. ### Apps with tools Some apps offer their own actions to assistants, such as *create a booking* or *look up an order*. When an app has these, you'll see an **MCP** button next to **Share** at the top of the app. Click **MCP** to see the app's tools and whether assistants can use them yet. Assistants can only use an app's tools once the app is **published**. If you see **Not available to assistants yet**, publish the app from that panel. See [Publishing app](https://docs.biscuit.so/publishing-app.md). Anyone who connects an assistant can then use the app's tools. The assistant acts as that person, with their usual access to the app. ## Setup steps for Claude and ChatGPT Open the steps for your assistant.

Your workspace admin decides whether members can add custom MCP servers.

If you can't find an option, search your assistant's help pages for "custom connector" or "custom MCP server". ## What you can use it for Here are some of the ways teams use a connected assistant in their daily work. > [card] Check a number while you write > > Writing the monthly HR update? Get the figure without opening Biscuit. > > *"How many leave requests are waiting for approval in the Time off app?"* > [card] Add data from another file > > Attach a spreadsheet a colleague sent you and add it in one go. > > *"Add the clients in this spreadsheet to the CRM app as new customers."* > [card] Turn an email into a change > > If your assistant is also connected to your email, it can pass a request on to Biscuit. > > *"Read Sarah's latest email about the client portal and ask Biscuit to make the change she's asking for."* > [card] Prepare a team update > > Get the numbers from Biscuit and the write-up from your assistant. > > *"Ask Biscuit for the deals added to the CRM this week, then draft a short summary for the sales team."* > [card] Use an app's actions > > When a published app offers tools, your assistant can use them for you. > > *"Book a demo with Anna from Blue Water on Thursday at 10:00."* > [card] Make a quick change to an app > > Spot something to fix? Ask right away. The change waits in your app's pending changes until you publish. > > *"In the Time off app, add a Half day option to the leave request form."* ### Make a quick change to an app When you spot something to fix, ask for it right away: > *"In the Time off app, add a Half day option to the leave request form."* When you are ready with all the changes, you can publish them from Biscuit. ## FAQ > [accordion] Which assistants can I connect? > > Any assistant that supports custom connectors or remote MCP servers, including Claude and ChatGPT. > [accordion] Can one assistant work in several workspaces? > > Each connection covers one workspace.
