MCP server for AI agents
Connect an AI assistant (like Claude) to your Configo account so it can build and test-calculate a product configurator for you.
Configo runs an MCP server that lets an AI assistant work with your configurators directly — reading a product spec or spreadsheet you give it, creating the materials and controls/calculations/parts a configurator needs, and running test calculations to check the numbers come out right, all without you clicking through the visual editor yourself.
What it can do
Once connected, an assistant can:
- List your projects and the materials already defined in one
- Create new materials (fabrics, hardware, etc.)
- Create a configurator and set its controls, calculations and parts
- Run a test calculation for a given set of inputs (e.g. a width/height/fabric combination) and get back the price and bill of materials it would produce, without creating a real order
It only ever acts as you: the assistant can see and change exactly what you could yourself, in the projects you're a member of — nothing more.
Connecting your account
The server is https://mcp.configo.org/mcp. Add it as a remote MCP server in your assistant — most
clients (Claude included) will recognize it needs authorization and walk you through a normal login and
consent screen the first time, the same way you'd approve any other application under OAuth
Applications.
The consent screen marks the assistant as an unverified application. That's expected: MCP clients
register with Configo on their own, under a name they choose, so Configo can't vouch for who is behind
it — check the address the screen says you'll be sent back to (for Claude it's claude.ai) and approve
only if it's the assistant you're actually connecting.
If your client can't register itself and asks you to supply an OAuth Client ID, create one under
OAuth Applications: tick Public client, enter the redirect URI your
client tells you to use, grant the projects, materials and configurators scopes, and paste the
resulting Client ID into the client.
Using it
Ask the assistant to read a product spec, a price list, or a spreadsheet you give it, and build a
configurator from it. A good first step for the assistant to take is calling the
get_schema_reference tool, which explains the controls/calculations/parts format — worth mentioning
if you're prompting it yourself rather than letting it figure that out.
Before treating a configurator as done, ask the assistant to test it: give it a few known input combinations (specific dimensions and material choices, say) and have it run the calculation tool to check the resulting price and bill of materials match what you expect — the same way you'd sanity-check a spreadsheet formula.
Security
Approving the consent screen grants the assistant projects, materials and configurators access —
exactly what you could do yourself, nothing more. You can revoke that access at any time from
Settings → Security: it shows up under Active sessions under the name the assistant
registered with (for Claude, simply "Claude"), the same way any other app you've authorized does.
Revoking there takes effect immediately.
