FAQ
Using Spark from ChatGPT or Claude
Can I manage inventory from ChatGPT?
Yes. Spark Inventory is a plugin in ChatGPT's plugin directory. Once you connect your Spark workspace, you can ask what is running low, what to reorder and why, and have ChatGPT draft purchase orders that you review before anything is sent.
Does Spark Inventory work with Claude?
Yes. Add Spark as a custom connector in Claude with the server URL https://api.sparkinventory.com/mcp, sign in to Spark in the browser, and approve the connection. On Claude Team or Enterprise, an owner adds the connector for the organization first.
Do I need a Spark account?
Yes. If you do not have one yet, you can create a free account in the browser window that opens when you first connect, then approve the connection and return to your chat.
Can the assistant change my inventory or send a purchase order on its own?
No. A read-only connection can only answer questions. With read and write access, the assistant prepares a change and shows a preview, and nothing is issued or emailed to a supplier until you confirm it.
Where does the data come from?
From your live Spark workspace: the sales, stock, and supplier data synced from Shopify, Amazon, QuickBooks, and other sources, or imported from your spreadsheets. Each connection sees only your own workspace.
