# Connect AI assistants to your church workspace

> Use a personal, read-only connection to look up permitted church information from Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex.

TheFaithApp now provides an MCP connection for external AI assistants.
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex with your own staff sign-in, review the
access request, and ask about supported information in your church.

## Your church permissions follow each lookup

The connection can identify your church, summarize permitted information,
search supported records, and retrieve the sources behind an answer. Your
staff permissions determine what can be returned, including when an assistant
opens a result it found earlier. The connection cannot select another church
by passing its name or ID.

Event and gathering lookups include their scheduled local times and recurring
schedule details.

## Start with read-only assistance

This release does not let assistants change records, send messages, publish
content, or process payments. Review the answer and its sources before use,
and connect only an AI account your church has approved.

Custom connections depend on your AI provider's account and workspace
settings. A public directory listing is not required for custom setup.
Deployment and client sign-in checks remain part of each environment's rollout.

Read [Connect AI Assistants](https://docs.thefaithapp.com/product/connect-ai-assistants.md) for setup,
permission checks, and disconnection guidance. Technical administrators can
use the [MCP reference](https://docs.thefaithapp.com/api-reference/mcp.md).
