MCP – Model Context Protocol

MCP (Model Context Protocol) allows you to connect AI assistants and other MCP-compatible tools directly to your inventory system. Via the MCP endpoint, the system's API is exposed as a set of tools that an AI assistant can call to look up items, check stock levels, and much more.

Prerequisites​

Before you can use MCP, you must have at least one API key with MCP access enabled. You can either create a new key or enable MCP on an existing one:

  • Create a new API key: Go to Setup → API Keys, click Options and select Add new.
  • Use an existing API key: Go to Setup → API Keys and enable Allow MCP on the desired key.

Find the MCP endpoint​

  1. Log in to your Lagersystem.
  2. Go to Setup → MCP.

Here you will find the MCP endpoint URL in a read-only field. Click the field to select the full address and copy it.

Connect an AI assistant​

Use the endpoint URL to configure your MCP client (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor, or another MCP-compatible tool). Send your API key as a Bearer token with each request.

The exact configuration depends on the MCP client you are using — refer to the client's own documentation for how to specify the server URL and authentication token.

MCP actions in the log​

Actions performed via MCP are shown in the system's log and audit columns with a ✦ icon (magic wand). Hover over the icon to see the full actor string.
