GoSmarter provides a REST Application Programming Interface (API) and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so you can connect the platform to other systems, automate workflows, and build AI-powered tools on top of your operational data.

## What the API Lets You Do

The GoSmarter REST API gives you programmatic access to the platform. With it you can:

- **Read data** — pull inventory, orders, mill certificates, scrap logs, and production records into external systems or reports
- **Write data** — create or update records from your ERP, MES, or custom applications
- **Automate workflows** — trigger actions in response to events rather than relying on manual data entry
- **Build custom integrations** — connect GoSmarter to any system that can make HTTP requests

The API is included with your GoSmarter subscription at no extra cost.

## What MCP Access Lets You Do

The MCP server exposes GoSmarter data and actions through the Model Context Protocol — a standard that lets AI agents and tools interact with external services in a structured way.

With MCP access you can:

- Connect GoSmarter to AI assistants such as Claude
- Build conversational interfaces over your inventory, orders, and certificates
- Run automated agents that query or update GoSmarter as part of a broader AI workflow
- Integrate with MCP-compatible tools including VS Code extensions and custom agent frameworks
