Connect your app to AI assistants with GoodBarber MCP

What this online help covers:

• Understanding what Model Context Protocol (MCP) is and how it empowers your GoodBarber app.
• Generating your MCP Server URL and API key set in the back office.
• Connecting AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT to your GoodBarber app.

Before you start:

• With a GoodBarber app you can start using MCP right away during your free trial, before subscribing to a plan.
• You need your own account with an MCP-compatible AI assistant (such as Claude or ChatGPT).

Expected result: Your AI assistant will be securely connected to your GoodBarber app, allowing you to manage content, schedule push notifications, track analytics, and more using natural conversational prompts.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI tools to interact securely with external services.
With GoodBarber MCP, your AI assistant (such as Claude or ChatGPT) connects directly to your GoodBarber back office. Instead of manually navigating menus, clicking buttons, or copying text, you can manage your app simply by chatting or giving voice commands in plain language.
The AI assistant acts on your commands while respecting your app's security boundaries and the specific permissions you grant.

Connecting your app to an AI assistant opens up broad possibilities. Beyond daily management, you can automate repetitive tasks, extract data, or streamline your app operations.
Here are a few popular use cases:

• Content management & data exports: Draft, edit, or categorize articles and media through conversation, or ask your assistant to retrieve, back up, and export your CMS content.
• Targeted push notifications: Craft compelling copy, precisely target your recipients based on detailed criteria, and schedule or send notifications directly through your assistant.
• App analytics & insights: Ask your assistant to summarize traffic metrics, identify top-performing content, or analyze audience engagement.
• Automated workflows: Connect your app with external tools or build automated editorial calendars.

Because MCP grants your AI assistant access to your back-office modules, you can create custom workflows tailored to your needs, including bulk updates and data exports.

To connect an AI assistant to your app, you must retrieve your app MCP Server URL and generate an API key set in your GoodBarber back office:

1. Go to the menu Settings > MCP Server & Public APIs in your back office.
2. Click + Create a new key set.
3. Enter a Set name to identify your key set (e.g. Claude AI Assistant).
4. Select the Modules you want your AI assistant to access (User, Stats, Cms) and define their permission levels (Read only or Read & write).
5. Click Add key to generate your credentials.
6. Copy your Server URL from the MCP Server section. You will use this URL along with your API key to configure your AI assistant.

Step-by-step connection guides for specific AI tools are available on the GoodBarber portal:

• Read the GoodBarber Connector guide for Claude .
• Read the GoodBarber Connector guide for ChatGPT .

Note: When following these guides, at the step asking to paste the GoodBarber MCP server URL, make sure to use the specific Server URL retrieved from your app's back office.
Developers and technical users can also explore endpoint specifications on the GoodBarber Classic Public API documentation page and/or inspect open-source skill definitions on the GoodBarber Skills GitHub repository .

You can connect several GoodBarber apps to the same AI provider account (e.g. your Claude or ChatGPT account).
When configuring your AI connector, always use the specific Server URL copied from each app's back office. This ensures your AI assistant connects directly to the right project, which is essential if you manage multiple apps.

• Separate connections: Each GoodBarber app requires its own separate MCP connection and its dedicated API key set.
• No GoodBarber limits: GoodBarber does not limit the number of MCP connections you can create. Any usage limits, quotas, or restrictions depend on your AI provider.

Your data security and privacy remain fully protected:

• App-scoped access: Actions taken by the AI assistant are restricted strictly to your GoodBarber app and the specific module permissions (User, Stats, Cms) configured in your key set.
• Explicit permissions: The AI assistant cannot perform operations outside the scope defined by your API key.
• Instant key revocation: You can revoke an API key set at any time from the menu Settings > MCP Server & Public APIs , immediately blocking all access from the AI assistant.
