Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP-compatible AI assistant to Bestboy so it can add wishes, check reservations, and manage your lists for you.
## 🤖 Connecting an AI assistant
Bestboy can be controlled by an AI assistant like Claude or ChatGPT through MCP (Model Context Protocol) — so you can ask it to add a wish, check what's been reserved, follow a friend's list, or jot down a [gift idea for someone](/help/gift-ideas-for-others), without opening the app.
1. Go to [Settings → AI Agent](/settings/ai-agent). 2. Follow the setup steps for ChatGPT or Claude — both support one-click OAuth connection, so you don't need to copy any keys around. 3. For a non-interactive setup (like Claude Code or your own script), generate a static API key from the same page instead, and pass it as a bearer token.
Once connected, the assistant can only see and change your own wishlists, wishes, follows, and gift ideas — the same access you'd have logged in yourself. You can revoke an API key at any time from the same settings page.
See the [full MCP reference](/docs/mcp) for setup details, or the [API reference](/docs/api) if you're integrating something yourself over plain HTTP.
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT securely connect to apps like Bestboy and act on your behalf.
Only what you could do yourself while logged in — add or edit wishes, check reservations, follow lists, and manage gift ideas for other people. It can't do anything outside your own account.
Yes — revoke its API key at any time from Settings → AI Agent, and it immediately loses access.
No — Claude and ChatGPT both support one-click OAuth connection from Settings → AI Agent. A static API key is only needed for non-interactive setups like scripts or Claude Code.
