AI assistants

Use ChopOps from your AI assistant

Ask about your food cost while you're on the line, or send a photo of an invoice when the delivery arrives. ChopOps connects to AI assistants such as Claude through MCP (Model Context Protocol), and answers with the same numbers you see in the app.

Things to ask

"What was my food cost last week?"
"Are we on target for prime cost this month?"
"What are we low on at Queen St?"
"Has chicken gone up in the last month?"
"Which invoices still need reviewing?"

Things to send

A photo or PDF of a supplier invoice: "Add this invoice to ChopOps."
ChopOps reads it and saves it as a draft. Nothing changes your costs or prices until you check it and press Confirm in ChopOps.

Connect in two minutes

You need a ChopOps account (the 14-day free trial works). The connector address is:

https://app.getchopops.com/api/mcp

Claude (claude.ai or the Claude app):

Open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector.
Name it ChopOps and paste the address above. Leave the advanced settings empty.
Click Connect, sign in to ChopOps, pick your restaurant and what the assistant may do, and press Connect.
In a chat, make sure ChopOps is switched on under Connectors, then ask away.

Meta Muse: ChopOps has applied to the Muse connector directory. Once it's listed, find ChopOps in Muse's connectors and follow the same sign-in.

Other assistants: any assistant that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in can connect with the address above.

You stay in control

One restaurant at a time. When you connect, you pick which restaurant the assistant can use.
Questions only, or drafts too. Choose "Answer questions only" if you don't want the assistant adding anything.
Your role still applies. Staff accounts can only ask questions. Wages and labour cost are only shared for Owners and Managers.
Drafts, never final. Invoices from an assistant wait in review. They don't touch food cost or ingredient prices until someone confirms them.
Disconnect any time in ChopOps under Settings, AI assistants. Owners and Managers can see and disconnect any assistant connected to their restaurant.

What the assistant can do

Action	Type	You give	You get back
get_restaurant_info	Read	Nothing	Restaurant name, locations, today's date there, cost targets, your role, and what this connection may do.
get_cost_summary	Read	Period (this week, last week, this month, last month, or start and end dates), optional location	Net sales, food and beverage cost %, total cost of goods, theoretical food cost %, waste, labour and prime cost (Owners and Managers only), and your targets.
get_stock_levels	Read	Location, optional "below par only", optional name search	On hand per ingredient in purchase units, from the latest finished count plus confirmed deliveries since, with par levels.
get_price_changes	Read	Optional ingredient name, days to look back (1 to 365, default 30)	Price history from confirmed invoices for that ingredient, or the ingredients whose price changed most.
list_invoices	Read	Optional status, how many (up to 50), optional location	Recent invoices with supplier, number, date, total, status and a link.
add_invoice_file	Write (adds a draft)	A photo or PDF (JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF or PDF, up to 20 MB) as a file or https link, optional location	The draft's supplier, date, total, number of lines, how many matched your ingredients, and a link to review it.
add_invoice_lines	Write (adds a draft)	Supplier, optional number, date and total, and the invoice lines (up to 300), optional location	Same as above. For assistants that read the invoice themselves.

Write actions are only available when you choose "Answer questions and add drafts" and your role can edit. No action sends messages, makes payments, deletes anything or changes confirmed data.

Limits

60 requests a minute per connected assistant. After that the assistant gets a "too many requests" reply (HTTP 429) and can try again a minute later.
30 invoices an hour per connected assistant.
Invoice files up to 20 MB; up to 300 lines per invoice; up to 50 invoices per list.

When something goes wrong

"Sign in to ChopOps to connect this assistant" or "Your ChopOps sign-in has expired": connect ChopOps again from your assistant.
"This assistant was disconnected from ChopOps": it was disconnected in Settings, AI assistants. If it's listed there under "Disconnected", press Reset, then connect again.
"You no longer have access to this restaurant": you were removed from the team. Ask the restaurant's account holder.
"Which location is this invoice for?" or "No location called …": name one of your locations in your request.
"Stock is counted per location": ask about one location. "No finished inventory count yet": finish a count in ChopOps first.
The invoice couldn't be read: open the link the assistant gives you to enter it by hand, or send a clearer photo.

Your data

The assistant sees only what you could see in ChopOps for the restaurant you picked, and only when it uses one of the actions above. Invoices it sends are stored like any other upload. What your assistant does with the answers is covered by that assistant's own privacy policy. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.
