1-Click Connect your AI (MCP)

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini to your shop in 1 click

Available now in CreekPOS Online

Connect the AI you already use directly to your CreekPOS shop with zero middleware and a read-only key you control — via the 1-click Desktop Extension bundle (https://api.creekpos.com/mcp/creekpos.mcpb), portable skill file (https://api.creekpos.com/mcp/skill.md) or /.well-known/mcp.json discovery. Query all 21 read-only MCP tools: ask how sales were this week, audit kitchen prep SLA breaches & chef/waiter speed leaderboards (kitchen_staff_sla), check theoretical vs. actual recipe stock variance (recipe_stock_variance), or verify your UAE AED 3M Small Business Relief status. It can read; it can never sell, refund or change anything.

On Online Restaurant and Chain, and in the 14-day trial. The AI is yours: you pay its maker, and CreekPOS charges nothing per question.

A shop owner reading his phone at night
  • Zero-middleware read-only: no tool can write
  • 1-Click bundle: creekpos.mcpb & skill.md
  • 21 read tools (kitchen_staff_sla, recipe_stock_variance)
  • Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini & any MCP client

01Ask

Ask in your own words

Your AI asks CreekPOS for the exact figures across 21 read-only tools and answers from them: today against last Tuesday, kitchen prep-stage SLA telemetry and chef/waiter speed leaderboards (kitchen_staff_sla), theoretical BOM recipe usage vs. actual stock-take variance (recipe_stock_variance), what is about to expire, and who is clocked in. It can also read CreekPOS's own help, so it explains a screen or an error message correctly.

  • Sales by day, hour (HH:mm), cashier, branch or product, two periods compared, and multi-tier price list & packaging net margins
  • Kitchen QA prep-stage SLA telemetry, breach alerts & chef/waiter speed leaderboards (kitchen_staff_sla)
  • Recipe BOM Theoretical vs. Actual Stock Variance (recipe_stock_variance), FEFO expiry & low stock
  • Duplicate transfer guard (transfer_ref_check), UAE 9% Corporate Tax / SBR / VAT 201, bookings & attendance

02Read-only

Read-only, by design

There is no tool that sells, voids, refunds, takes a payment, changes a setting or deletes anything. Product names and notes reach the AI as data, never as instructions. A key sees only its own shop, and only one branch if you chose one.

  • 60 calls a minute and 2,000 a day for each key
  • Twenty refused calls in an hour pause the key and alert you
  • Lists stop at 50 rows: ask a narrower question
Your data stays in your shop; the AI only reads
Your data stays in your shop; the AI only reads

03Your key

Your key, your rules

Make a key in Settings → AI access, give it a name (My ChatGPT, Accountant's Claude) and tick what it may read. Reports, stock, products and receipts start ticked; customers, bookings and team start unticked, because they are personal data. The key is shown once, and we keep only a fingerprint of it.

  • An optional last day for each key
  • Revoke a key instantly, or pause and resume it
  • A new purpose gets a new key: a key is never widened
Revoke a key and its connection stops at once

Four 1-click ways to connect

Settings → AI access shows these four cards pre-filled with your shop's zero-middleware MCP endpoint, 1-click creekpos.mcpb bundle, and portable skill.md:

  1. Claude desktop app (1-Click creekpos.mcpb)

    Windows and Mac

    1. Download the 1-Click Desktop Extension bundle (https://api.creekpos.com/mcp/creekpos.mcpb) right after creating your key and open it.
    2. Or run the ready one-line claude mcp add --transport http creekpos ... command.
    3. Or paste the JSON config block in Settings → Developer → Edit Config.
    4. Ask: “Using my shop tools, how were sales today?”
  2. Claude on the web and phone

    claude.ai, on a paid Claude plan

    1. Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
    2. Paste your shop's zero-middleware one-URL connector address (https://api.creekpos.com/mcp/aik_...) from the card.
    3. In a chat, switch the connector on from the tools menu.
  3. ChatGPT & Custom GPTs

    On a paid ChatGPT plan, with developer mode

    1. Settings → Connectors → Advanced → switch on Developer mode.
    2. Create a connector with your shop's one-URL address; Authentication: No authentication.
    3. Download the portable skill file (https://api.creekpos.com/mcp/skill.md) to attach to your Custom GPT or Project.
  4. Gemini, Cursor & MCP Discovery

    1-click Cursor deep link, Gemini CLI & /.well-known/mcp.json

    1. Click 1-Click Install in Cursor, or run gemini mcp add --transport http creekpos ... for Gemini.
    2. Server: https://api.creekpos.com/mcp (Discovery: /.well-known/mcp.json, Bundle: https://api.creekpos.com/mcp/creekpos.mcpb).
    3. Download https://api.creekpos.com/mcp/skill.md so Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini knows all 21 read-only tools (including kitchen_staff_sla and recipe_stock_variance) immediately.

An address with the key in it is the key itself: never paste it anywhere public. AI apps move their menus from time to time; if a step has moved, the app's own help names the new place.

What it is, and what it is not

  • CreekPOS does not supply the AI: you use your own Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or other MCP assistant, on its maker's terms and price.
  • Zero-middleware and strictly read-only: no sales, refunds, stock changes or settings can ever be modified.
  • Your AI answers from CreekPOS's exact figures, but its wording is its own: check the report before a decision that depends on a number.

Questions about Connect your AI

Which AI apps work with it?

Claude (the desktop app via the 1-click creekpos.mcpb bundle, claude.ai and the Claude phone apps), ChatGPT with developer mode, Google Gemini, Cursor, and any assistant that speaks MCP via /.well-known/mcp.json discovery or our portable skill.md (https://api.creekpos.com/mcp/skill.md).

Can the AI change anything in my shop?

No. Every one of the 21 MCP tools only reads. There is no way through this connection to sell, refund, take a payment, change stock or a setting, or delete anything.

Do I pay CreekPOS per question?

No. Connect your AI is included in Online Restaurant and Chain. You pay the AI's maker for your own AI plan, as you do today.

Can I give my accountant a key for one branch?

Yes. Make a key with a name, tick only what they need (for example reports), choose the branch and, if you like, a last day. Revoke it whenever you want.

What if a key leaks?

Revoke it on the AI access page: it stops working at once, and so does the address that carries it. Make a new one for the AI you use.

Are my questions stored?

CreekPOS keeps a log of the calls (when, which key, which tool, how many rows) but not the questions themselves. Your AI app keeps your chats under its own terms.

Is this the same as Ask your shop?

No. Ask your shop is built into CreekPOS and Telegram: it answers the usual questions with fixed rules and exact figures, and passes other questions to the AI built into CreekPOS (coming soon). Connect your AI lets the AI you already use, with your own account, read your shop.
