The Aphex MCP connector lets you work with your project data, diaries, and records directly from your AI tool (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, or any other tool that supports MCP). Once connected, you can ask your AI to read diaries, summarise delays, pull labour hours, draft reports, and search across months of records. Aphex supplies the data word-for-word, your AI does the thinking and writing.
With the Aphex MCP connector, you can ask your AI tool things like:
"Summarise total steel fixer hours across last week's diaries."
"Find every record mentioning [subcontractor]'s progress on [scope] over the last two months - I'm drafting a letter."
"Build me a weekly report from these three diaries."
"Read the diaries from last week on this project - are there any early warnings we should be issuing?"
Your AI reads the records, spots patterns, and drafts the output. Aphex provides the data exactly as it was recorded, with who wrote it and when.
Before you can set up the MCP for the organisation, you'll need to with our team to have the feature enabled.
Once enabled, system admins can turn on the feature for the organisation.
To switch on the MCP for the organisation:
From your Aphex Homepage, go to Admin → AI
Toggle on MCP
Once enabled, all users in the organisation can connect their AI tool to Aphex.
If you are not a System Admin, you can check if the MCP is enabled at the project level.
To see if the MCP is enabled:
Open your project
Click the Project Name → AI
If the MCP has been enabled: You will see the steps to setting up the MCP
If your System Admin is yet to enable the feature: You will be prompted to request that the feature is enabled
Once the MCP has been turned on for the organisation, all users within the organisation can connect their AI tool to Aphex.
How to connect your AI tools:
A single connection works with one organisation at a time. You choose your organisation during sign-in.
To switch organisations:
Go to your AI tool's connector settings
Click Disconnect next to Aphex
Click Reconnect
Sign in again and choose a different organisation this time
The connector can access exactly what you can see in Aphex, and nothing more. The connector signs in as you and respects the same permissions as the app. If you can open a project or view a diary in your browser, your AI can read it. If you can't, it can't.
At this stage, the tools can only read your records - they don't create, edit, or delete anything in Aphex. We're expanding the toolset based on feedback, and this page will always list what's available.
When you use the MCP connector, your Aphex data goes to your AI tool - the Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot account you connected - and nowhere else. Aphex doesn't send your data to AI providers as part of MCP, and your data is never used by Aphex to train AI models.
The MCP is off by default - MCP is only available where your organisation's plan includes it, and your system admin has switched it on.
Your permissions, mirrored - Every user connects individually and sees only what they already see in Aphex.
Today's tools read, not write - The current toolset can't create, edit, or delete anything in Aphex.
