Connect an AI assistant to FairKeep
Point Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client at your account so you can ask it about your shows in plain English.
- 1Make an API key first — Settings -> API Keys. Tick Events read, Reports read and Applications read for a read-only assistant; add the write scopes only if you want it creating and editing events.
- 2In your AI app, add a custom connector (in Claude this is Settings -> Connectors -> Add custom connector) and give it this address: https://api.fairkeep.app/mcp
- 3Click Connect. You will be sent to a FairKeep page with a single box on it. Paste your API key there and press Authorize. That is the whole sign-in — the key stays on our page and your AI app never asks you for it directly.
- 4You are connected. Ask it things like "what did I take at the Big E?", "what sold best on Saturday?", "which applications am I still waiting to hear back on?" or "what is my booth fee for next weekend?".
- 5It can only do what the key can do. A key with no write scopes cannot change anything no matter how it is asked, and no key of any kind can open your documents — paperwork stays behind a signed-in session.
- 6If your AI app cannot do the Connect step above, some can take the key in the address instead: https://api.fairkeep.app/mcp?key=YOUR_KEY_HERE. It works, but treat it as a last resort — a key written into an address gets copied into logs and browser history in a way the normal sign-in does not. Use a read-only key if you go this way, and delete it if you ever paste that address somewhere public.
- 7Your assistant learns what it can do at the moment it connects, so a newly added ability will not show up in a connection you made earlier. If it tells you it cannot do something you were told it now can, disconnect and reconnect, then ask again.
