The &Open MCP lets you use &Open from inside an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT. Once connected, you can check your campaigns and budget, review the gifts you've sent, and send new gift invitations without opening &Open.
Before you start
You'll need two things:
An &Open account. You sign in with your usual &Open login during setup.
An AI assistant that supports MCP connections. Claude and ChatGPT both do, and so do a growing number of AI-powered business tools.
&Open isn't listed in any app directories yet, so you connect using a URL.
Note: &Open technical support is currently required to activate the MCP. Please reach out to your &Open point of contact to enable.
Choose your connection URL
Use the URL for the region where your &Open account is hosted:
US:
https://mcp.andopen.co/mcpEU:
https://mcp.eu.andopen.co/mcp
If you're not sure which region your account is in, ask your &Open account manager or contact our support team.
Connect the &Open MCP
Open your AI assistant's settings and find where connectors are added. In Claude, this is under Settings → Connectors. In other tools, look for "connectors", "integrations", or "MCP servers".
Add a new custom connector and paste your &Open connection URL.
Your assistant opens an &Open sign-in window. Log in and approve the connection.
You're done. Try asking your assistant "How much gifting budget do I have left?" to confirm everything's working.
Questions and answers
Which AI tools can I use?
Any tool that connects to a remote MCP server by URL. Claude and ChatGPT are the most common, and many CRM and sales tools now support MCP connections too. Check your tool's documentation for where to add a custom connector.
Do I need special permissions in &Open?
No. You connect as yourself, so your assistant sees the same campaigns and budget you see when you log in to &Open.
Is this safe to connect?
Yes. The connection can read your own gifting data and do one thing: send a gift invitation, and only after you confirm it. It can't edit or delete anything in your account, and it can never see another person's or another company's data.
How do I disconnect?
Remove the &Open connector in your AI assistant's settings. Nothing changes in your &Open account, and you can reconnect at any time.
