Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini to Tappya

Last updated October 26, 20263 min read

Connect your AI assistant to Tappya and ask about your restaurant in plain language. It answers with your live data and can prepare changes for you to approve.

Before you start

  • Your business must be on a Premium plan.
  • You need your Tappya login. No API keys are needed.
  • Your server URL is shown in Settings > AI connections. It is https://api.tappya.com/mcp.

Connect Claude (web, desktop and mobile)

  1. In Claude, open Settings > Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Tappya and paste https://api.tappya.com/mcp.
  3. Click Connect, sign in to Tappya and click Allow.

Claude Code: run claude mcp add --transport http tappya https://api.tappya.com/mcp, then type /mcp to sign in.

Connect ChatGPT

  1. Open Settings > Apps & Connectors > Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode. On Business and Enterprise plans an admin may need to allow custom connectors.
  2. Choose Create, name it Tappya, paste https://api.tappya.com/mcp and pick OAuth authentication.
  3. Sign in to Tappya and click Allow, then turn on Tappya in a chat from the + menu.

Connect Gemini CLI

  1. Add this to ~/.gemini/settings.json:
"mcpServers": { "tappya": { "httpUrl": "https://api.tappya.com/mcp" } }
  1. Start gemini and run /mcp auth tappya, then sign in to Tappya and click Allow.

Gemini Enterprise: ask your workspace admin to add https://api.tappya.com/mcp as a custom MCP server.

Other assistants

Any assistant or editor that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth (for example Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf) works the same way: add an HTTP (Streamable HTTP) MCP server with the URL above, then sign in to Tappya and click Allow when asked.

What the assistant can do

  • Answer questions about sales and analytics, menu, inventory, purchasing, staff, customers, promotions and settings.
  • Prepare changes, such as a price update or a stock adjustment. You always see a preview first, and nothing changes until you say yes. High-risk changes can only be approved inside the Tappya dashboard.

The assistant acts as you, only on your business, with your own permissions and branches.

Try asking:

  • How did sales this week compare with last week, by branch?
  • What are my top 10 items by revenue this month?
  • Which ingredients are below their reorder level?
  • Show me the discounts given yesterday and who applied them.

Manage or disconnect

Open Settings > AI connections to see your connected assistants, when each was last used and the changes it prepared. Click Disconnect to remove access immediately. Admins see every connection in the business and can disconnect any of them.

Your data

The data the assistant reads to answer you is sent to that assistant's provider (for example Anthropic, OpenAI or Google) and handled under its privacy policy. Tappya does not store your conversations. See our Privacy Policy.
