AI Assistant Access
Connect Capstone Metals to your AI assistant
ChatGPT, Claude, and other assistants can read live inventory and work with your account through our secure connection. You sign in as yourself, approve the connection once, and the assistant only ever sees what your own account is allowed to see.
Your connection URL
This is the one address every assistant needs. Copy it once — you'll paste it into your assistant below.

Config file snippets
Clients that read a config file — Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, VS Code and most others — take one of these. Paste it in, restart the client, and sign in when it prompts.
Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code and most JSON clients
Add to mcp.json (or the client's MCP settings file):
{
"mcpServers": {
"capstone-metals-company-platform": {
"url": "/mcp"
}
}
}Codex CLI
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.capstone_metals_company_platform] url = "/mcp"
What an assistant can and can't do
Worth being plain about, because it's the part people assume wrongly.
It can
- Read live inventory and product detail.
- For staff: review recent guide requests and quote inquiries, and set a confirmed price when a person asks for a specific one.
- Draft page copy, suggest titles and descriptions, and propose other site changes — as proposals, each with a before/after diff and its reasoning.
- Read the proposal queue, including what was already declined and why.
It cannot
- Publish anything. Every proposed change waits for a Capstone reviewer to approve it by hand — the assistant has no way to approve its own work.
- See anything your own account isn't allowed to see. Staff tools stay staff-only.
- Edit the site's code, routes, sitemap or legal disclosures.
- Contact customers, send email, or move money.
Proposals are logged in full — which assistant submitted them, what they wanted to change, every revision, and who decided. Staff review them in the admin Proposals tab.
Your account stays yours
Connecting an assistant works like signing in yourself: you approve it once on our consent screen, and the assistant can only read and do what your own account is allowed to. Staff-only tools stay staff-only. You can disconnect any time from your assistant's connector settings. Questions? Call us at (800) 200-9553.
