# ProductionPal MCP server

Connect an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or any MCP client) to ProductionPal. It works with your own login and permissions.

Connector URL: https://mcp.productionpal.io

## Set up

### Claude (web, desktop and mobile)

1. Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
2. Paste https://mcp.productionpal.io and save.
3. Click Connect, sign in to ProductionPal and click Allow.

On a Team or Enterprise plan an owner adds the connector once under Organization settings; each person then connects with their own login.

### ChatGPT

1. Open Settings → Apps & Connectors. Custom connectors need Developer mode, under Advanced settings.
2. Create a connector, paste https://mcp.productionpal.io and choose OAuth as the authentication.
3. Sign in to ProductionPal and click Allow.

### Claude Code

1. Add the server from a terminal:

```
claude mcp add --transport http productionpal https://mcp.productionpal.io
```

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code, pick productionpal and choose Authenticate.

### Any other MCP client

1. Add it as a remote (Streamable HTTP) server. The client finds the sign-in on its own: no client ID, no secret, no API key.

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "productionpal": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.productionpal.io"
    }
  }
}
```

## What the assistant can do

- Find anything: projects, clients, gear, docs and tasks, by name or number
- Plan productions: shoot days, the day's schedule and call sheets, crew and gear
- Run post: deliverables, the post plan, review uploads and client comments
- Draft quotes from a brief, with the catalog and your past quotes as the guide
- Prepare invoices: what is ready to bill, and booking in your accounting system
- Keep work moving: tasks, docs, notes and the monthly P&L

## Access and security

- You sign in on productionpal.io. Your password never reaches the AI app.
- The assistant acts as you: the same companies, the same role, the same permissions. It sees nothing you cannot.
- Every change it makes is in the change history, marked as made by an agent.
- Anything that reaches a client, such as sending a review or booking an invoice, is its own step the assistant has to ask for.
- Revoke a connection any time under Settings → Profile → Connected apps.

## If you are an AI agent

- You cannot sign in on your user's behalf, and you should not ask for their password. Ask your user to add the connector URL in your app's connector settings (the steps above), then sign in and click Allow.
- Once connected, call whoami first: it tells you who you act as and which company to use. Then search to find records by name.
- Ask before anything that sends, books or deletes.
