MCP Server Overview

OBI exposes its property intelligence capabilities through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI assistants like Claude to interact with your property data.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that enables AI models to securely connect to external data sources and tools. Instead of copy-pasting information into chat windows, MCP creates a direct connection between AI assistants and your data.

Why Use OBI's MCP Server?

With OBI's MCP integration, AI assistants can:

• Search your inventory - Find items across all your properties using natural language
• Answer questions - Get AI-powered answers about your property, maintenance, and inventory
• Identify items - Use photos to identify products and get details like brand, model, and value
• Add items - Create new inventory entries with optional AI identification
• List properties - Access all properties you have permission to view
