Ask Claude about your POS: sales, stock, staff and finance
The Epidom Claude connector lets you ask Claude questions about your own restaurant or café, such as last week's margin or what to reorder, and get answers from your real POS data. Reading is included from the Operations plan. It is in Beta.
What the Claude connector does
Most owners already know the numbers they want: how did we do last week, which dishes sell and which don't, what is running low. The hard part is opening four screens to find out. The Epidom connector gives Claude secure access to your store, so you ask in plain words, in your own language, and Claude reads the answer from your POS.
It works through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard Claude uses to talk to other apps. You add Epidom to Claude once with a single URL, sign in to your Epidom account, and approve what Claude may see. Claude then has tools for sales, orders, the menu, stock, suppliers, the roster, customers and finance reports, for one outlet or all of them.
What you can ask
- “How did we do last week compared with the week before?” Claude reads revenue, orders, average ticket and profit, and points out what changed.
- “Why was margin down on Tuesday?” It looks at the sales breakdown by channel and hour, the best sellers and the costs behind them.
- “What do I need to reorder?” It checks the stock alerts and prepares a proposed order per supplier, without placing anything.
- “Which dishes should I rethink?” It reviews your menu by profit and popularity and suggests price, placement or recipe changes.
- “Who worked overtime this month?” It reads hours and overtime from the roster, for managers and owners.
Epidom also ships ready-made requests you can pick inside Claude: a weekly business review, a restock check, a menu review and a roster plan. They simply walk Claude through the right tools.
Reading is open, changing is Enterprise
Any store on the Operations plan or higher can connect Claude and read its data. Letting Claude change things is part of the Enterprise plan. With that option, and only if you tick “Also allow changes” on the consent screen, Claude can adjust stock, record waste and expenses, edit menu items, prepare and receive supplier orders, draft and publish rosters, decide overtime, and add or update customers. It shows you what it is about to do and asks before each change, and every change appears in your Activity log.
Plans at a glance: POS and Free stores cannot connect Claude. Operations can connect it and read. Enterprise can read and, with your approval, make changes.
Connect Claude to Epidom, step by step
- Open the Claude connector card in Epidom — In your Epidom profile, open the Claude card and copy the connector URL. It is https://www.epidom.fr/api/mcp. Always use the www address, because the bare domain redirects and Claude drops its sign-in on a redirect.
- Add it as a custom connector in Claude — In claude.ai or the Claude desktop app, go to Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, and paste the URL. In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add --transport http epidom https://www.epidom.fr/api/mcp
- Sign in and choose what Claude may do — Claude sends you to an Epidom screen that names the app, shows the stores it can open and, on Enterprise, offers the “Also allow changes” box, which is off by default. Approve it.
- Ask your first question — Try “Give me a weekly review of my store”. You can disconnect at any time from your Epidom profile, and the access stops immediately.
What Claude cannot do
Some things stay inside the Epidom app on purpose, because they move money or identify people. The connector never exposes them.
- Taking payments, refunds, cancelling or merging bills, and the till (shifts and cash).
- Clocking in or out, staff PINs, pay settings, roles and invitations.
- Billing and plan changes, deleting or transferring a store, and publishing your storefront.
- Sending messages to your customers or suppliers.
A sale is also never edited or deleted from Claude: orders are an immutable ledger. Customer contact details are masked in what Claude sees.
Security and control
Epidom is its own sign-in provider for the connector, using OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Access tokens last one hour, and the connection is checked on every request, so a plan change, a deactivated staff member or a revoked connection takes effect on the next question. Staff who sign in with their own account see only what their role and page access allows. Epidom records which tool was called, never your questions or the answers.
A Beta, said plainly
The connector is in Beta. It works with claude.ai, the Claude desktop app and Claude Code, but we are still testing it with pilot stores, and charts inside Claude are not available yet. Tell us what breaks or what you wish it did. Claude runs on your own Claude plan, and Epidom does not charge extra for the connector on Operations.
Questions
Which Epidom plans include the Claude connector?
Reading your data from Claude is included from the Operations plan. Letting Claude change data, such as stock, menu items, supplier orders or rosters, is part of Enterprise. Stores on the Free or POS plan cannot connect Claude yet.
Can Claude change or delete my sales?
No. Orders are an immutable ledger, so sales are never edited or deleted from Claude. Payments, refunds and the till also stay inside the Epidom app. On Enterprise, Claude can make a limited set of other changes, only if you allow them, and it asks before each one.
Is it safe to give Claude access to my store?
You control it. You sign in to Epidom yourself, choose which stores Claude can open, and leave changes switched off unless you want them. Access is checked on every request, staff accounts keep their own limits, and you can disconnect from your profile at any time.
Does it work with ChatGPT or other AI assistants?
The connector is built and tested for Claude. It uses the open MCP standard, so other tools that support remote MCP servers may be able to connect, but we have not tested them and do not support them yet.
Does the Claude connector cost extra?
Epidom does not charge extra for it on the plans that include it. You use your own Claude plan, and Epidom only answers Claude's requests. Check the pricing page for the current plans.
