This page answers: what MCP is, whether you can connect your RelaySolo data to your own Claude or ChatGPT, and whether outside actions need your approval.
Bring your clients and files into your own Claude or ChatGPT
If you already use Claude or ChatGPT, it can look things up in RelaySolo directly. This works through a connection standard called MCP. Anything that sends data out or changes it asks you first.
What MCP is
Think of MCP as a universal plug. An AI assistant plugs into it and can then look things up and get things done inside other software.
Without it, you copy and paste buyer emails and price lists into Claude piece by piece. With it, you just ask, "Which model did that German buyer want last week?" and it checks RelaySolo itself.
Assistants like Claude and ChatGPT can use this plug. RelaySolo provides the socket.
It works in two directions
Your Claude or ChatGPT reads RelaySolo
The RelaySolo computer app includes a local MCP server. Turn it on, and your own Claude or ChatGPT can look up your client pages, email history and product files.
RelaySolo uses other tools
You can also add third-party MCP tools inside RelaySolo, so its AI can use them. You decide which ones.
What gets sent, and to whom
Once connected, some content leaves your computer. Here is exactly when.
-
1 When your Claude or ChatGPT looks something up
- What
- What it found this time, such as one buyer email or a few rows of your price list.
- To
- That service, meaning the company behind Claude or ChatGPT.
- You control
- Whether the local MCP server is on, and which assistant you connect. How that company handles data is set by its own terms.
-
2 When RelaySolo calls a third-party MCP tool
- What
- The content that one call needs.
- To
- That tool.
- You control
- Which tools are added. You can remove them at any time.
This is one of four cases where data leaves your computer; all of them are on where your data lives. Using the AI inside RelaySolo is a separate case, covered on AI models and keys.
Outside actions ask you first
Any tool that sends something out or changes data needs your approval before it runs, whether that is sending an email or editing a client record. If you don't approve, it doesn't happen.
That matches the rest of RelaySolo: you approve every quote before it goes out, and every reply to a buyer too.
Ways people might use it
In your own Claude, you could ask for a reply drafted from your product files along the lines of how to reply to a new inquiry, tidy up a quote following how to write a quotation email, or plan next steps using when a buyer goes quiet. Anything meant for a buyer still goes back to RelaySolo for your approval before it is sent.
The local MCP server comes with the Windows and Mac app; see download. Your data is stored on your computer, with no copy on our side, so set up a backup.
