We’ve been watching the AI assistant space evolve rapidly, and one thing has become clear: the most powerful AI workflows aren’t just chat — they’re AI that can actually do things on your behalf. List your gear. Build a pull list. Update a project. All without touching the app.
Today, we’re excited to announce that Find Boxes now has an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, giving AI assistants direct, structured access to your Find Boxes account.

What Is an MCP Server?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that allows AI assistants to connect securely to external tools and data sources. Think of it as a universal plug — it lets AI models like Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot Studio, and others speak directly to platforms like ours, in real time, without copy-pasting or manual look ups.
With the Find Boxes MCP server installed, your AI assistant becomes a fully capable AV operations partner.
What Can You Do With It?
The MCP server exposes tools across every core area of Find Boxes — all accessible through natural language. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
📦 Inventory Management
Ask your AI to list everything in a storage room, add new equipment, or update item details like serial numbers, PO numbers, MAC addresses, and service status. Need to find a specific piece of gear? Just ask — no digging through menus required. You can also organize inventory into categories (Cameras, Cables, Displays, etc.) and add or remove those categories on the fly.
“Add a Sony FX6 to the Main Storage room under the Cameras category.”
🏗️ Project & Order Management
Your AI can pull up any project, list the orders attached to it, add or remove equipment orders, and retrieve the full pull list for an upcoming job — all in a single conversation. Team assignments and sub-rentals are accessible too, giving you a complete picture of what’s happening on any given project without switching tabs.
“What’s on the pull list for Project 12? And who’s on the crew?”
🧾 Proposals & Customers
Browse proposals and line items, look up customers, and get the context you need to prep for a client conversation — without ever touching the app.
“List open proposals and show me the line items on the Johnson wedding quote.”
🤝 Vendor Management
Add new vendors, review your supplier list, or remove outdated entries. Your AI keeps your vendor roster clean and current as your business grows.
“Add Markertek as a vendor.”
👥 User & Account Look ups
Quickly look up account users by name or ID — useful for confirming team access or auditing who’s on an account.
All list tools support pagination, so your AI can page through large datasets automatically without losing its place.
