Connect your assistant to BlueTally
BlueTally MCP Server gives your AI assistant read-only access to your IT inventory. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol: a standard for connecting AI tools to external data. Ask a question, and your assistant can retrieve the relevant records from BlueTally.

Work with the records you already maintain
Retrieve assets, employees, software licenses, accessories, consumables, components, audits, maintenance, and activity history. Locations, departments, statuses, products, manufacturers, and suppliers provide context for your questions.
When you use BlueTally integrations such as Intune, Jamf, or an identity provider, the assistant reads the records those integrations update in BlueTally. Answers reflect the data available in your account.
Keep control of your inventory
The MCP Server is read-only. Assistants can retrieve and summarize records, but cannot create, edit, delete, or check out assets through this connection. BlueTally remains your system of record for assignments and asset lifecycle management.
Access is scoped to your BlueTally company. You can revoke it by rotating or deleting the API key used for the connection.
