Connect your AI app¶
Use this page to connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI app to Fran-Trak, sign in, and fix sign-in problems.
Who can do this: anyone with a portal account and at least one active store.
Before you start¶
- You need your Fran-Trak portal username and password. See Signing in.
- Every app uses the same Fran-Trak address:
https://mcp.fran-trak.com/mcp - Your AI app may need a paid plan, or its administrator's permission, to add a connector.
You set up the connection once. After that, the app stays signed in.
Tip
The page at mcp.fran-trak.com shows these steps too.
Connect Claude¶
These steps work on claude.ai and in the Claude Desktop app.
- In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Name it
Fran-Trak. - Enter
https://mcp.fran-trak.com/mcpas the address. - Click Connect.
- Sign in to Fran-Trak. See Sign in to Fran-Trak below.
- Allow access if Claude asks.
Connect ChatGPT¶
- In ChatGPT, open Settings, then Connectors.
- Click Create. If you do not see it, your ChatGPT administrator may need to turn on Developer mode.
- Enter
https://mcp.fran-trak.com/mcpas the address. - Set the authentication to OAuth.
- Leave the Client ID blank. Fran-Trak fills in the rest.
- Sign in to Fran-Trak. See Sign in to Fran-Trak below.
Connect Google Antigravity¶
The Antigravity desktop app, IDE and command line share one setup. Do it once, in either place.
From the desktop app or IDE:
- Open Agent Settings. Press
Cmd+,on a Mac orCtrl+,on Windows. - Go to Customizations, then Manage MCP Servers, then View raw config.
-
Add this, then save:
json { "mcpServers": { "fran-trak": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.fran-trak.com/mcp" } } } -
Back in Customizations, click Authenticate next to fran-trak.
- Sign in to Fran-Trak.
- Antigravity shows a code. Copy it.
- Paste the code into the settings panel and click Submit.
From the command line:
agy mcp add fran-trak https://mcp.fran-trak.com/mcp
agy
Then type /mcp and sign in when asked.
Note
Google retired Gemini CLI in June 2026. If you still use the old gemini command, use Antigravity instead.
Connect Claude Code¶
Run this in a terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http fran-trak https://mcp.fran-trak.com/mcp
claude
Then type /mcp, choose fran-trak, and sign in.
Sign in to Fran-Trak¶
When you connect, your AI app opens Fran-Trak's own sign-in page.
- Type your portal Username and Password.
- Click Sign in.
- Your AI app takes over again. Antigravity shows a code to paste, as in its steps above.
Your password goes only to Fran-Trak. The AI app gets a pass to ask Fran-Trak questions as you. It never sees the password.
Your username may exist in more than one brand. If so, the page says This username exists in more than one brand — pick yours. Choose your brand in the Brand list, type your password again, and click Sign in.
Check that it works¶
Ask your assistant:
"Which stores can you see?"
It lists your stores, with your username, role and brand. If a store is missing, see Troubleshooting.
Then try a question from Things to ask.
Staying signed in¶
- The app renews your sign-in by itself. You do not sign in each day.
- If you do not use the connection for about 30 days, you may need to sign in again.
- If an administrator locks your portal account, your AI connections stop working too.
- Store changes in the portal reach the assistant within about 5 minutes.
Disconnect¶
- Open your AI app's connector settings.
- Remove the Fran-Trak connector.
To use it again, add the connector again and sign in. The steps for removing a connector belong to each app. Check its own help if you cannot find them.
