The Kabaido connector
The connector gives your own Claude your design engine, your data and your engineering knowledge, while Kabaido does every calculation.

- Why
- A request arrives in words. The tool, the price and the drawing have to come from your own engine.
- How
- Add it once in Claude, sign in as yourself, then ask Claude in plain words.
What it is
AI in Kabaido is your own Claude. The app itself runs no AI model: there is no chat inside it and nothing in it writes an answer for you.
The connector is how Claude reaches your workspace. Through it Claude reads a request and asks Kabaido to configure, check and price each design. It then shows you the result as a card in the conversation. Kabaido calculates; Claude reads, asks and explains.
There is one address for every workspace: https://kabaido.ai/api/mcp. What Claude is offered there follows the workspace you sign in to. See What Claude can do for each part.
What Claude is given
| Claude is given | Which means |
|---|---|
| The engine | Your design modules, one design at a time, each returning the checked design, its price, what the price is made of and the stock it would draw on. |
| The data | Your customers, quotes, orders, catalogue, stock, suppliers, wizards and store, as far as your workspace has the part and your role allows. |
| The knowledge | Kabaido's engineering guide for the design module and your company's own engineering notes, which rank above it. |
The card
Where a result is better seen than read, Claude shows it as a card inside the conversation. Every figure on a card is Kabaido's.
| Card | Shows |
|---|---|
| Designs | Each design on its own tab: the 3D design and its drawing where the design module makes them, its name, price and total, any problems, the engineering notes and warnings, the price at each quantity, its main values, the stock it would draw on and what was assumed. |
| Quote | The quote's number, status, validity, lines and totals, with each designed line on a tab with its 3D design, drawing, main values and notes. |
| Stock | Stock lines with what is on hand, on order and free. A shortage shows the quantity to order. |
| Wizard | The specification line by line with where each line came from, any warnings, what the wizard still needs and the matching products. |
| Store orders | The store's orders. One order shows its lines, totals and dates. |
A design in a design module that has no 3D view or drawing in Claude yet shows its figures alone. The card says so.
What you can do on a card
- Change a design: on a designs card, change a main value, change the quantity or press a quantity on the price ladder. Kabaido checks and prices the design again and the card redraws from its answer.
- A refused value: a value the engine refuses is said under the card. The card keeps the last design the engine accepted.
- Ask Claude to quote: sends one message in your name asking Claude to quote the designs shown.
- Send to customer: on a draft quote's card. It asks a second time, with the total, before anything is emailed.
- Open in Kabaido: opens the design or the quote in the app.
When a newer card for the same designs or quote appears further down the conversation, the older card says so, stops offering changes and stays as the record of its moment.
What it follows
- Your workspace: Claude sees what your workspace has and nothing from any other.
- Your role: Claude can do what you can do and no more. See Signing in and what your role allows.
- Your say so: nothing leaves your company until you tell Claude to send it or press send on the card yourself.
What you type into Claude is handled by your own Claude account, under its terms. What reaches Kabaido is what Claude sends through the connector.

- Adding the connector in ClaudeAdd Kabaido to Claude as a custom connector at https://kabaido.ai/api/mcp, sign in and approve. Claude can then work in your workspace.
- What Claude can do for each partAsk Claude in plain words to design and quote a request, change a line, check stock, compare suppliers, run a wizard or read the store's orders. It does it in your workspace.
- Kabaido calculates, Claude never inventsEvery dimension, price, stock figure and lead time Claude states comes from Kabaido or from the request itself; anything else is stated as missing.
