User guide
This guide is for operators — the people doing daily Fishbowl work through an AI client such as Claude or ChatGPT.
You describe what you want in plain language. ILC MCP reads Fishbowl, proposes the exact change, and writes it only after you approve. You never need table names, import templates, or SQL.
There are two flows:
Connect once
Section titled “Connect once”Link your AI client to Fishbowl and sign in as yourself. You do this one time per client. See Connecting for your client:
Using it
Section titled “Using it”Then, in everyday use, you ask in plain language. Reads answer right away; changes are proposed and wait for your approval. See Using ILC MCP for the everyday pattern and each use case:
- Asking questions — look anything up, read-only.
- Reporting — build and open reports and dashboards.
- Update Fishbowl — place orders, manage inventory, and import data — each proposed and approved before it writes.
Administration — granting access, setting limits, reviewing activity — is in the Administrator guide.
