Connect by signing in
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or a coding tool with your usual FranchiseSEE login. Read-only, nothing to install.
On this page
The quickest way to connect. You add FranchiseSEE to your AI app, sign in with your usual FranchiseSEE login, and start asking questions. There is nothing to install and no token to copy, and you don't need help from IT.
Pick your app
| You use | Follow |
|---|---|
| Claude: claude.ai, the desktop app or the phone app | Claude |
| ChatGPT | ChatGPT |
| Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or another coding tool | Developer tools |
Every app connects to the same address:
https://app.franchisesee.com/mcp/reporting
What happens when you sign in
- You give your AI app the address above.
- The app opens FranchiseSEE's sign-in page in your browser. You sign in as you always do, including through your company's single sign-on if your brand uses it.
- FranchiseSEE hands the app a connection tied to your account. The app never sees your password.
The connection stays in place until you or HQ disconnect it. Your AI app renews it in the background, so you don't sign in again each time.
If your browser is already signed in to FranchiseSEE as someone else, sign out first. Otherwise the connection lands on the other account, and FranchiseSEE refuses it.
What a signed-in app can do
- Read-only, always. A signed-in app can look things up. It can't change settings, goals, locations, users or anything else, whatever your account can do in the web app.
- Reporting only. Signing in reaches the reporting server. The admin server, which makes changes, takes an API token instead.
- Your stores only. The app sees what your login sees: the whole brand for HQ, your own stores for a franchisee. See Data scope and permissions.
The one thing a connection may write is a report-tool-issue note, when a tool couldn't answer
your question. It holds no store data and changes nothing you can see.
Franchisees
Franchisees can connect by signing in only while HQ has Let franchisees connect AI apps turned on. If HQ turns it off, every app a franchisee connected by signing in is disconnected. See Brand switches for HQ admins.
See and disconnect your apps
Open the profile menu, choose User settings, then Connected apps. You see every app connected to your account and the latest reports each one pulled. Disconnect any app there, at any time; it stops reading FranchiseSEE straight away. Removing FranchiseSEE inside the AI app works too.
