TLDR: You’ll now find AlgoDriven in Claude’s connector directory — add it, sign in, and ask about your drives, bookings and appraisals in plain language. The same server works with ChatGPT, Cursor, Groq and anything else that speaks the Model Context Protocol. It signs in as you with your existing permissions, and there are no API keys to paste anywhere. Setup instructions are at algodriven.xyz/developers/mcp.
“How many test drives did we do last week, and how many turned into bookings?”
Until now, answering that meant opening the dashboard, setting a date range and reading the numbers off a report. Which is fine — the dashboard is good at this. But increasingly, the people asking that question are already sitting in a chat window with Claude for half their working day. The report is in one place; the question is in another.
So we closed the gap. AlgoDriven is now a connector you can add to Claude straight from its directory — no config files, no URLs to paste, nothing to install.
What it does
MCP — the Model Context Protocol — is the open standard that lets AI assistants talk to external systems. Anthropic published it, and the rest of the industry adopted it: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Groq and a long list of other clients all speak it now. Building on the standard rather than one vendor’s API is why the same server that powers our Claude connector also works everywhere else.
Once connected, your assistant can pull your drive records — status, vehicle, times, odometer and fuel, salesperson, the lot — plus your booking records, filtered by date, status, source or drive type, and your EvalExpert appraisals. Then it does what AI assistants are good at: answers the actual question.
Some things our early users have asked:
- “Which salesperson did the most test drives this month?”
- “Show me overdue drives right now.”
- “How far in advance do customers book, on average?”
- “Summarise last week’s drives by source and tell me which one converts.”
- “What did we appraise last month, and what was the average trade-in figure?”
No report builder. No export to Excel. You ask; it answers from live data.
It can also start work, not just report on it: two of the five tools create new appraisals in EvalExpert, one vehicle at a time or a list at once. Your assistant asks you to approve that before it happens, and what lands is an ordinary appraisal you pick up in EvalExpert as usual.
Built to your permissions, signed in as you
We’re a company that holds dealership data for a living — we take that seriously — so the security posture here was designed before the first line of code:
- Your login, your permissions. The connection authenticates with your own AlgoDriven account via OAuth. It can’t see anything you couldn’t already see in the dashboard, and it doesn’t extend your access.
- Nothing gets edited or deleted. Most tools only return records. The two that create appraisals add new ones and ask your approval first. No tool can change or remove anything that already exists.
- No keys to leak. There’s nothing to paste into a config file. Adding the connector opens your browser to sign in, the same way you’d sign in to the dashboard.
- Revocable in one click. Disconnect from your assistant’s settings, or revoke access from your AlgoDriven account, any time.
That last point matters for dealer groups in particular. Because every person connects with their own login, a salesperson and a group GM asking the same question get answers scoped to what each of them is already allowed to see.
One thing worth being straight about: when you ask a question, the specific records the assistant fetches are shared with the provider of that assistant — Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq or Cursor — so it can generate your response. That’s how every MCP connection works, on any platform. We’ve updated our privacy policy and terms of service to spell it out.
Connecting takes about two minutes
In Claude, open Customize → Connectors, click the +, search for AlgoDriven and connect. If you’re on a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, an owner or admin adds it once for the whole organisation and everyone else then signs in with their own account.
Everywhere else, point your client at https://mcp.algodriven.io/mcp: Cursor is a single click, Claude Code is one command, and ChatGPT uses a developer-mode connector on a paid plan. Groq works differently again — it’s for developers building their own agents on the Responses API. The setup page has step-by-step instructions for each, plus a generic config for everything else.
Where this goes
We started where the demand was loudest — DriveExpert drives and bookings, and EvalExpert appraisals. But the direction is obvious once you see it working: stock and pricing live on the same platform, and the same question-in-plain-language pattern applies to every one of them. If there’s a dataset you want your assistant to reach first, tell us.
