Connect an AI assistant to your account

Ask Claude or ChatGPT “how much PETG do I have left?” and get the answer from your own inventory. The TigerSystem connector lets an AI assistant read your TigerSystem account — nothing more. It is the same idea as the local server in Tiger Studio, but hosted: it works from the web, from a phone, and without Studio running.

The connector’s address:

https://mcp.tigersystem.io/mcp

It speaks MCP (Model Context Protocol), the open standard assistants use to reach outside tools. Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth can use it.

What the assistant can read

• your spools: brand, material, colours, weight left, temperatures, where each one is stored;
• your racks, your wishlists and your stock history;
• your printers and your TigerScales — never their access codes or passwords;
• what your friends share with you (their spools, racks and wishlists).

It cannot change anything: every tool is read-only. It reads as you, under the same access rules as the apps, so it can never see another account. Credentials — printer access codes, cloud logins, your private key, your e-mail — are never returned, whatever it asks.

Claude (web, desktop, mobile)

1. Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. Name it TigerSystem, paste the address above, leave the advanced OAuth fields empty, and add it.
3. Click Connect. You land on tigersystem.io: sign in, check that the page says the answers go to claude.ai, and click Allow.
4. In a conversation, switch the TigerSystem connector on from the tools menu and ask your question.

Custom connectors need developer mode (a paid plan; on Business plans, an admin enables it).

1. Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings → Developer mode on.
2. Create a connector: name TigerSystem, the address above, authentication OAuth, no client ID or secret.
3. Sign in on tigersystem.io and click Allow.
4. In a new chat, enable the connector and ask.

Menu names move often in these apps; the steps stay the same.

Codex, Cursor and other desktop clients

Add a remote MCP server of type Streamable HTTP with the address above and no token. The app opens your browser for the sign-in; after you click Allow, the browser lands on a 127.0.0.1 address — that is the app on your computer collecting the sign-in. A blank or “can’t connect” page there is normal: close the tab.

Cut an assistant off

tigersystem.io → your account → Data → Connected assistants. Every assistant you allowed is listed with when it was connected and last used. Cut access stops it at once.

Good to know

• The assistant may answer from data up to two minutes old: recent reads are kept briefly to keep things fast and light.
• Live printer state (online, printing) is not available from the cloud — only Tiger Studio, on your printer’s network, sees it.
• Notes, colour names and wishlist text are your words (or a friend’s); the assistant is told to report them, never to take them as instructions.
