Connect Your Own AI to Vendion
With your own AI assistant you can ask about the restaurant in the app you already use, for example "How did we do yesterday?" or "Which bookings do we have tonight?". The AI works in Vendion with your permissions and only sees what you can see yourself.
What you need
- Vendion Integration must be active for the restaurant.
- You need the Använda AI Boss (Use AI Boss) permission in the restaurant.
- An AI app that can connect to other services: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code.
Get the address
- Open Integrationer (Integrations) in admin.
- Under AI-assistenter (AI assistants), tap Kopiera adressen (Copy the address). The address is https://mcp.vendion.com/mcp.
Add Vendion to your AI app
| App | How |
|---|---|
| Claude | Settings ▸ Connectors ▸ Add custom connector. Paste the address. |
| ChatGPT | Settings ▸ Apps and connectors ▸ Create. Paste the address and choose OAuth. |
| Cursor | Settings ▸ MCP ▸ Add server. Paste the address. |
| Claude Code | Run claude mcp add --transport http vendion followed by the address. |
Menu names may differ slightly between app versions.
Approve in Vendion
When you connect, the app opens a page in Vendion. Log in if you are not already logged in.
- Check the app name at the top. Claude and ChatGPT show as Verifierad (Verified). If it says Namnet anges av appen själv (The app chose this name), check the line below, which shows where the answer is sent.
- Choose a restaurant. A connection applies to one restaurant.
- Tick Låt AI:n också göra ändringar (Also let the AI make changes) if the AI should be able to change things, for example a price or a booking. Without the tick it can only read.
- Tap Godkänn (Approve).
If the answer is sent to an app on this computer: only approve if you started the connection on this computer just now.
What the AI can do
- Read sales, bookings, guests, menu, stock and schedule, meaning what you can see in Vendion yourself.
- Change, if you ticked the box: for example change a price, mark an item as sold out, create a booking or add a task. The AI asks you before it makes a change.
- Changes that affect a lot at once, for example many items, first show what will happen. The change is only made when you confirm.
Every change appears in Integrationslogg (Integration log) under Integrations, with the app name and who connected it.
What the AI can never reach
Pay, personal identity numbers and bank details never leave Vendion. The AI also cannot:
- touch the POS or paid orders
- change the accounting, VAT or invoices
- change payment methods, card terminals or tips
- change gift cards or loyalty points
- send SMS or email to guests (you do that in Vendion)
- change guests' marketing consent or delete guests
- change permissions, invite or deactivate staff
- correct the staff register or see absence
Data protection
What the AI sees is handled by the AI provider under the restaurant's agreement with it. Private AI plans may use chats to train their models unless you have turned that off in the app's settings.
