Connecting an AI assistant

Ask an AI assistant about your bookings, requests and appointments: what it can read, how to connect it, example questions, and how to disconnect.

3 min read

Connect an AI assistant to FastInspector and you can ask it about your work in plain language. It signs in as you and can only read what your account can already see. It cannot book, accept, pay, sign or change anything.

It does not receive inspection reports, findings or photos, card or bank details, or share links, and the booking data it reads leaves out buyer contact details. The Privacy Policy has the full list, and the assistant's own terms apply to what it receives.

Before you connect

  1. You need a FastInspector account, and you must have accepted the current Terms.
  2. Open Settings and turn on Allow AI connectors (MCP). It is off by default.
  3. If you are an inspector, your company's owner must also turn it on before the assistant can read anything beyond your own profile.

Connect it

The connector address is:

https://mcp.fastinspector.com

Use the address exactly as shown, with nothing added after it, such as /mcp.

  • Claude — open FastInspector in the Claude directory and choose Connect to Claude (on a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds it under Organization settings > Connectors). If Claude asks how to connect, choose Sign in now, not No sign-in, and for the OAuth client choose Use Claude's published identity. The other client options do not work with FastInspector. In Claude Code, run claude mcp add --transport http fastinspector https://mcp.fastinspector.com.
  • Grok — ask a Grok Bot in a chat to add the connector, and give it the address.
  • Cursor — add the address as a remote MCP server.

Each one sends you to sign in to FastInspector and asks you to allow it. Other assistants are refused for now; tell us which one you would like to use.

What it can read

Your accountWhat the assistant can look up
EveryoneYour profile and your notifications
Agents, buyersYour bookings, a booking's details, inspection types, and the companies that can take an inspection
Company ownersYour company's booking requests and ongoing jobs
InspectorsThe inspections assigned to you

Things to ask

  • "Do I have any unread FastInspector notifications?"
  • "What is the status of my inspection on Harvard Street?"
  • "Which companies can do a radon test at my saved property?"
  • "Which requests are waiting for my company's answer?"
  • "What inspections do I have this week?"

Disconnect it

Turn Allow AI connectors (MCP) off in Settings. The assistant is cut off from its next request, and we also cancel its connection, so you will normally need to connect it again after turning the setting back on. What it already received stays with its provider; ask them to delete it.

A company owner turning the setting off also disconnects the company's inspectors. Being removed from a company, or deleting your account, disconnects you too.
