# Inventory

What the business keeps in stock and where, item by item and location by location. Stock is received, shipped, moved and counted with SKUs and barcodes, at a moving-average cost; a low-stock event fires at each item's reorder point, and the stock list goes in and out as CSV.

Replaces: Sortly, inFlow Inventory, Zoho Inventory.

## MCP server

`https://api.conecto.chat/mcp/inventory` connects the Inventory tools only, plus the account tools that come with every MCP server. It speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP; send the key as `Authorization: Bearer <conecto_sk_ key>`. Every tool here is also a REST call: `POST https://api.conecto.chat/v1/tools/<name>` with the arguments as a JSON object.

## ChatGPT and Claude

Add `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/mcp` as a connector in ChatGPT or Claude, one for every area, and tick Inventory when you sign in. It signs in with OAuth: someone on the account signs in on conecto.chat, ticks the areas it may use and allows it, and it runs on a key of its own that the owner can revoke.

## OpenAPI

For a custom GPT's Actions: `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/openapi/inventory.json` (OpenAPI 3.0, the key as a Bearer token). For Power Automate, Logic Apps and Copilot Studio connectors: `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/openapi/inventory.swagger.json` (OpenAPI 2.0, the key in the X-Api-Key header). Both list this area's tools and the account tools.

Prices: Reading and reports free · $0.005 per item saved or stock move · $0.002 per line counted · $0.001 per row imported · locations and exports $0.001. A call that fails costs nothing.
