Connect Grok to AIMS360 with an MCP server. Grok reads live orders, invoices, sales and margin from your ERP and answers in plain English, as a table, a chart or an Excel export. Read-only. Contact AIMS360 to have the connection provisioned for your tenant.
AIMS360 provides a Model Context Protocol server for Grok. Once it is connected, Grok can read your live orders and invoices and answer questions about sales, backlog, margin and receivables in plain English, without anyone exporting a report first.
Request the MCP connection Book a demoYes. AIMS360 provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects Grok to your live AIMS360 orders and invoices. Once your connection is installed, you ask Grok a question in plain English, such as what did we ship last quarter by division, which customers are past due, or margin by style for spring, and Grok answers from your real ERP data as text, a table, a chart or an Excel export. The connection is read-only. To get one set up, request it from AIMS360.
The practical difference is who gets to ask. Reporting in most ERPs is a skill: you have to know which report, which filters, which date field. With a connector, anyone who can type a sentence can get the number, and the number comes out of the system of record rather than out of a model's guess.
The Grok connection and the Claude connection are the same AIMS360 MCP server. That is the whole point of building on an open standard: AIMS360 writes the connection once and it works wherever MCP is supported. A team split between Grok and Claude sees the same orders, the same invoices and the same numbers, in whichever window they happen to be working.
Understanding plain-English business wording. Resolving last quarter, my top accounts, the fall line. Chaining steps without you restating the context. Turning the result into a summary, a table or a chart.
Live orders and invoices from your own tenant, at style, color and size grain. Booked versus shipped kept separate so sales means the right thing. Margin percent, average unit retail, units back-ordered. Every channel: DTC, wholesale, retail and EDI dropship.
Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to outside systems. Before MCP, every assistant needed a bespoke integration for every tool. With MCP, AIMS360 builds the connection once and it works wherever MCP is supported. For an ERP that means the assistant is reading your actual records instead of working from whatever you remembered to paste in.
MCP support in ERP is still early. Microsoft has shipped MCP servers for Dynamics 365 finance and operations and for Business Central, and a small number of other vendors have followed. Among ERPs built specifically for apparel and consumer brands, AIMS360 is one of the few offering one.
There is no public marketplace install. AIMS360 provisions the connection for your tenant, which is what keeps it scoped to your company's data.
Ask for the AIMS360 MCP server connection through the contact form. Support confirms your tenant and your plan.
The server is scoped to your company's AIMS360 data. Nobody else's records are reachable.
Paste the connection details into Grok's connector settings and authenticate. The same details work in Claude.
No query language and no field names. Grok reads live AIMS360 data and answers in the chat.
These are not canned reports. They are examples of wording that works, because AIMS360 resolves business language to the right fields behind the scenes.
“What did we ship last quarter, by division?” “Margin by style for the spring line.” “Which customers are past due, and by how much?” “Open backlog by season, oldest first.” “Compare this month to the same month last year.” “Units shipped by size for our top ten styles.”Prefer ChatGPT? The same ERP data is available through the AIMS360 app for ChatGPT, and every connection is listed on the AI assistants hub.
The MCP server exposes four read-only tools over your live AIMS360 data. Orders cover the booked side of the business; invoices cover what actually shipped and sold.
| Area | Break it down by | Measure it in |
|---|---|---|
| Orders Booked and open backlog |
Customer, style, color, size, style/color/size, season, division, sales rep, ship-to state, order source, payment terms, carrier, buyer, vendor, cancellation reason, entered / start / complete date | Ordered amount, open amount, shipped amount, cancelled amount, order count, units booked, units cancelled |
| Invoices Shipped, sold and billed |
Customer, style, color, size, style/color/size, season, division, sales rep, bill-to and ship-to state, order source, Shopify store, payment terms, carrier, invoice date, due date | Total amount, merchandise, balance, invoice count, units shipped, units back-ordered, margin %, average unit retail |
| Record lookup One order or invoice |
Order number or invoice number, with line-item and per-size expansion | Full header and line detail, allocations, back-order position |
Built-in shortcuts cover what operators ask most: overdue orders, orders with no allocation, overdue invoices, and outstanding balance. Period-over-period comparison is built in as well, up to twelve periods, so this month against last, or the same month across three years, does not need a new report.
| Pasting an export into a chat | AIMS360 MCP server | |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Whatever you exported this morning | Live AIMS360 orders and invoices |
| How current | As of the last export | As of right now |
| Apparel grain | Whatever fit in the spreadsheet | Style, color, size, season, division |
| Follow-up question | New export | Just ask |
| Data leaving your control | A full file, every time | Only the rows the question needs |
| Write access | N/A | None, read-only by design |
The row about data leaving your control is the one most teams underweight. Pasting a full export into a chat window sends far more than the question required. A scoped connection sends only the rows the question actually needs.
Model Context Protocol. An open standard for connecting AI assistants to external systems, published by Anthropic.
The service that exposes a defined set of tools an assistant can call. AIMS360 runs one against your ERP data, serving both Grok and Claude.
The connection can query and analyze, but cannot create, edit, cancel or delete anything in AIMS360.
Booked is what was ordered. Shipped is what left and was invoiced. Apparel needs both, and they are not the same number.
Stock or work-in-progress committed to an order. Open orders with none are backlog at risk.
Average unit retail. Total dollars divided by units sold, at whatever grain you asked for.
Yes. AIMS360 provides a Model Context Protocol server that connects Grok to your live AIMS360 orders and invoices. It is not a public download. AIMS360 provisions the connection for your tenant. Request it through the AIMS360 contact form and support will set it up.
It is the same MCP server. Model Context Protocol is an open standard, so AIMS360 builds the connection once and it works wherever MCP is supported. Grok and Claude read the same live orders and invoices, at the same grain, with the same read-only limit. The only difference is which assistant you are typing into.

No. The AIMS360 MCP connection is read-only. Grok can look up and analyze orders and invoices, but it cannot create, edit, cancel or delete records in AIMS360. Your approvals, controls and role based access are untouched.
Orders and invoices, at the grain apparel needs. Booked, open, shipped and cancelled amounts. Units booked, shipped and back-ordered. Margin percent and average unit retail. Grouped by customer, style, color, size, season, division, sales rep, channel, Shopify store, carrier, payment terms or ship-to state. Plus built-in patterns for overdue orders, unallocated backlog, overdue invoices and outstanding balance.
Request the AIMS360 MCP server connection through the AIMS360 contact form. Support provisions it against your tenant and sends you the connection details to add in Grok. There is no self-serve marketplace install today, which is deliberate. The connection is scoped to your company's data.
Where an MCP connector appears depends on your Grok plan and your organization's connector settings. AIMS360 will confirm the setup that fits your environment before provisioning, so nobody spends a week discovering a plan limit.
Data handling is governed by your own workspace settings with the assistant provider and by your agreement with AIMS360. Business and enterprise workspaces are generally not used to train models by default. Confirm the specifics for your plan with the provider and with AIMS360 before rolling it out company-wide. See also how AIMS360 handles data security.
Every channel. The data behind it is your AIMS360 ERP, which already runs DTC, wholesale, retail and EDI dropship to major retailers in one system, so the answers span all of them rather than one storefront.
Tell us about your setup and we will provision the connection for your tenant, then walk it through on your own orders and invoices.
