# Connect Claude or ChatGPT

> Ask about your store from inside Claude or ChatGPT. Connect once; read-only; revoke any time.

If you already use Claude or ChatGPT, you can ask about your store there. SaleTides becomes a connector the assistant can use: it reads your analytics (read-only) and never changes anything in your store.

## Connecting

Only the store owner can turn this on.

**1. Open the assistant in SaleTides**

Click the assistant button at the bottom right, then **Use in Claude / ChatGPT**.

**2. Turn on access**

Click **Turn on access**. This lets an assistant read your store analytics. Individual orders and customers stay private unless you allow them in Settings.

**3. Add SaleTides to your assistant**

Your connection URL is `https://saletides.com/mcp`.

**Claude**

1. Open Claude **Customize → Connectors** (SaleTides opens it for you with **Copy URL & open Claude**).
2. Click **Add custom connector**, name it **SaleTides** and paste the URL.
3. Click **Connect**, then **Authorize** on the SaleTides screen.

**ChatGPT**

1. Open ChatGPT **Settings → Apps & Connectors** (SaleTides opens it for you with **Copy URL & open ChatGPT**).
2. Click **Create**. If you don't see it, turn on **Developer mode** under Advanced settings.
3. Name it **SaleTides**, paste the URL, click **Connect**, then **Authorize** on the SaleTides screen.

**4. Ask away**

SaleTides shows when the connection is made. Ask in Claude or ChatGPT, for example "Compare my revenue this month with last month".

## Managing connections

**Settings → AI Assistant** lists the assistants connected to your store. **Revoke** disconnects one; **Turn off access** disconnects them all. The same setting decides whether assistants may see individual customers and orders.
