# Connect your own AI assistant to the dashboard

Version 1.38.0, released 2026-09-09. Source: https://vektortms.com/releases/connect-your-ai-assistant

> Settings has a new MCP page that walks you through connecting your own AI assistant, with the steps and the server address on one screen, instead of setting it up by hand with help from support.

Teams already run assistants of their own. Pointing one at your operational data meant a manual setup and a support conversation to get the connection right.

## What changed

**Settings has an MCP page.** Pick the assistant you use: Claude, Claude Code, Codex, or any other app that supports remote MCP. The page shows the numbered steps for that assistant, with the server address and a button to copy it.

**Example requests to start with.** The page lists sample questions by area, such as dispatch, fleet and finance, ready to copy into your assistant. Your assistant can use only the data and actions your role allows.

An admin connects an assistant from one screen, without a support ticket.

## How to use it

Open Settings, then MCP. Choose your assistant and follow its steps. Once connected, it shows up under Connected assistants, where you can disconnect anything you do not recognise.
