Connect AI

Your data, inside Claude and ChatGPT.

Already live in an AI assistant? Connect Orcabase and it can look at your data, answer with your real numbers and build dashboards, right in the chat.

In plain words

How does Orcabase plug into Claude and ChatGPT?

Claude and ChatGPT can plug into other apps through a standard connector (called MCP). Orcabase has one. Give your assistant a key and it can work with your data. Take the key back and it stops.

How to connect

Three steps, about two minutes.

  1. 1

    Create a key

    In Orcabase's settings. Takes a few seconds.

  2. 2

Both. Same abilities, same guardrails.

In control

You hand out the keys. You can take them back.

  • Your data only

    A key only opens your workspace. Nothing else.

  • Stored safely

    Keys are scrambled before we store them, so they can't be read back.

  • Switch off anytime

    Revoke a key and every assistant using it loses access at once.

  • Same guardrails

    Your assistant can create, never edit or delete what you've made.
