Axle Connect

Connect Axle to your own AI assistant, Claude or ChatGPT, and do your work by asking. Sign in with the same Axle login you use every day. Available information depends on your Axle permissions and the tools supported by your sign-in.

Connect in two minutes

In Claude — one tap:

Add Axle Connect to Claude

The link opens Claude’s Add custom connector box with the name and address already filled in. Claude shows you that the values came from a link and asks you to confirm; nothing is added until you do. Then click Connect and sign in at the Axle community as usual.

Or by hand: open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Axle Connect, and paste https://connect.axlefoundation.com/mcp

Once it is connected, start a new chat and ask. Naming it helps the first time: “Use Axle: what am I on today?”

In ChatGPT: the same address works as a connector where your ChatGPT plan allows custom connectors. ChatGPT gets the same 25 read tools as Claude. Actions stay on the Claude surface for now.

You need an active Axle partner community login. If you can sign in at axlefoundation.com, you have it. On a phone, the same steps are under the menu in the top-left of the Claude app.

What it can do today

• Who I Am At Workread onlyWho the signed-in worker is at Axle: their name, their company, and the workforces they hold an active seat on. Call this first in a conversation, or whenever the worker asks who Axle thinks they are, which company they are connected as, or why they cannot see something.
• My Ticketsread onlyThe transport tickets assigned to you as driver. Use when the worker asks what loads, hauls or runs they have. Newest first, by the date of the work. Everything Axle returns unless you narrow it with within_days or period_from/period_to; Axle itself reaches back about a year and leaves out received and completed loads.
• Open A Ticketread onlyDetail for one of the worker's own tickets, by ticket number — transport loads, and the service tickets they are assigned on. Handles a partial or misread number by returning the tickets that match so the worker can be asked which one — use this when reading a number off a paper ticket or a photo.
• What I Have Been Doingread onlyThe worker's own recent activity across Axle: tickets they moved, hours they logged, and safety records they filed. Use for 'what have I done this week', catching up after time off, or checking whether something they submitted actually went in.
• My Jobsread onlyThe jobs you are seated on. Use when the worker asks what they are assigned to, what is open, or what they are working on.
• Job Detailread onlyDetail for one job, by its number (for example 00005837). Only returns jobs you are seated on.
• My Hoursread onlyHours you have logged. Use when the worker asks about their time, their hours this week, or what they logged on a job.
• My Jobsitesread onlyThe jobsites this worker can attend, whether they OWN each site or are only assigned to it, and whether they are currently checked in at one. Use when they ask where they are working, what sites they can attend, which sites are theirs to run, or whether they are still checked in somewhere.
• My Safety Fileread onlySafety records you personally filed: hazards, incidents and inspections. Use when the worker asks what they reported or wants to check a submission went in.
• Today's Workread onlyWhat the worker is on right now: their transport tickets that are dispatched, confirmed or picked up, plus anything scheduled or due today. Use for 'what am I on today', 'show me my dispatch', or 'what's next'. No rates or amounts are ever included.
• My Safety Ticketsread onlyThe worker's own safety tickets and certifications (orientations, H2S, first aid and the like) with expiry dates, plus their driver's licence class and expiry. Use when the worker asks what tickets they hold, what is expiring, or whether they are current for a site.
• My Hours Statementread onlyA statement of the hours the worker logged over a date range: the total for the window, a breakdown by job and by day, and the most recent entries with their type, description and approval status. Use when the worker asks for their hours for a pay period, a week or a month, how much they logged on a particular job, or wants to check what went in before a timesheet is queried. Defaults to the last 14 days. No rates, costs or amounts are ever included.
• My Unit & Gearread onlyThe power unit and trailer(s) assigned to the worker on each workforce they hold an active seat on, plus the unit and trailer on the transport ticket they are currently on (dispatched, confirmed or picked up). Use when the worker asks what truck they are in, which trailer they are pulling, what unit number they are assigned, or whether the unit on their ticket matches the one on their seat. Never includes rates, costs or amounts.
• My Ticket Boardread onlyThe worker's own ticket board across transport, service and rental tickets: full counts by family and status, what needs attention (problem, declined, waiting or on-hold tickets, flagged tickets, overdue transport), what was updated in a period, and the newest tickets listed with links. Use when the worker asks what tickets are open, overdue, stuck or need attention, or for a situation report on their tickets. Covers tickets assigned to the worker only — a workforce-wide board is not available yet. Filters: workforce, one of the worker's workforce locations, families, statuses, closed included or not, period (default today, up to 31 days), limit (25, max 50). No rates or amounts are ever included.
• My Workforce Locations Sitrepread onlyA situation report on the locations associated with the worker's own workforces: each location with its type, city and province, the kind of association and which of the worker's workforces it is on; the worker's own transport tickets (as driver) and service tickets (as assigned worker) at each location — current counts by status, work scheduled or due in the period, overdue and problem tickets that need attention; and, separately, the worker's own open check-ins by workforce. Use when the worker asks for a sitrep or overview of their sites or locations, what is going on at a particular site, or which locations their workforce covers. Defaults to today in the worker's timezone; a period of up to 31 days can be asked for. Lists up to 50 locations and gives full counts for all of them. Never includes rates, costs or amounts.
• My Workforce Reportread onlyA situation report on the worker's own place in a workforce: their role on it, what they are assigned to, their recorded work by status across transport, service and rental tickets, their duty status, and what needs their attention (overdue or problem tickets, expiring safety tickets). Own view only; it says exactly which sections were read completely. No rates or amounts. ANY PERIOD, ANY SCOPE. period_from and period_to give a daily, weekly, monthly or custom window — set BOTH for anything other than today. Set workforce_ref to the word all to cover every workforce the worker is on, which is the company-wide view. Use for 'give me a sitrep on my workforce', 'where do I stand', 'weekly workforce report', 'how did we do last month', or a report across all my workforces.
• Overall Situation Reportread onlyOne combined situation report: the worker's workforce, their tickets across transport, service and rental, and their workforce's locations, in a single answer with the top line first, everything needing attention ranked, what could not be read, and the natural follow-up questions. Reads only what the worker is allowed to see; no rates or amounts. ANY PERIOD UP TO A QUARTER, ANY SCOPE. Use period_from and period_to for a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or custom window — set BOTH for a range that is not today. The longest window is 92 days (a quarter); a longer one is refused by name rather than quietly narrowed. A window over 31 days is read as consecutive 31-day windows, because one ticket-board or location report covers at most 31 days: each window's own figures come back under period_windows. Use workforce_ref='all' to cover every workforce the worker is on, which is the company-wide view for an owner or manager; name one workforce to narrow it. Use for 'give me a sitrep', 'what does my day look like', 'weekly sitrep', 'how did we do last month', 'how did the quarter go', 'sitrep for the company', 'sitrep since Monday', or a shift handover. Worked examples — this week: period_from = the most recent Monday, period_to = today. Last week: the Monday and Sunday before that. This month: the 1st to today. Last month: the 1st and last day of the previous month. This quarter: the 1st of the quarter to today. Last quarter: the first and last day of it. Company-wide monthly: those dates plus workforce_ref='all'.
• Photos On A Recordread onlyLists the files on one of the worker's own records — a transport or service ticket, a field hazard, an incident report, a maintenance request or an inspection — with each file's name, type and when it was added. Use to confirm a photo the worker just added through a photo link actually saved, or when they ask what photos are on a record. Returns names and times only, never the files themselves.
• My Requestsread onlyThe work requests the worker can see: the ones they raised themselves, the ones raised under a workforce they are on, and the ones sent to a workforce they are on to fill. Each shows its status, when it is needed by, where, who it is for, and any ticket it has already been turned into. Use when the worker asks what they have requested, whether a request went in, what is still open, or what has been asked of their workforce. Open requests by default; ask for 'all', 'closed', or one status. Never includes rates, prices or amounts.
• Leads I Addedread onlyThe sales leads the worker has added or been referred on, with the company, who they spoke to, the status and which Salesforce it went to. Use when the worker asks what leads they have put in, or what happened to one they added. Shows their own leads only.
• Tickets I'm Onread onlyEvery ticket the worker is connected to, in any way — driving it, dispatching it, asking for it, shipping it, or receiving it — across transport, service and rental. Use when the worker asks what they have on the go, what they sent out, what they asked for, or what is coming to them, rather than only what is assigned to them. Gives a count for each way they are connected and lists the most recent, open ones first. No rates or amounts.
• My Tasksread onlyLists the worker's tasks — the ones assigned to them (including tasks someone else assigned them, which Axle attaches as related contacts), and separately the ones they assigned out to other people. Shows what is open by default, or everything. Read-only.
• My Direct Messagesread onlyThe worker's direct, person-to-person conversations in Axle Messenger — who each one is with, their company, the last message and when it arrived, and whether anything is unread. Use when the worker asks who has messaged them, whether they have unread messages, or who they have been talking to. Takes no input: it can only ever return the worker's own conversations. Group, workforce, job and company feeds are not included.
• Read A Direct Conversationread onlyReads one of the worker's own direct conversations — the messages in it, who sent each one and when. Name the person ('what did Mike say?') or pass a conversation_id from My Direct Messages. Only conversations the worker is actually part of can be read; a group, workforce or job feed cannot be read here.
• My Time On Siteread onlyHow long this worker has been on a jobsite, from their own check-in and check-out history. Use when they ask how many hours they were on a site, when they last checked in, or whether they are still checked in somewhere. This is check-in time, not logged hours — time logs are separate records that attach to a job, and they are not in this answer.

Where an action is available, tools marked asks you to confirm request confirmation before submitting a work change. Connection and usage records are maintained automatically; see the privacy policy. Rates, costs and pay are never included in any answer.

Your company stays in control

A connection can be switched off at your company's request: Axle turns it off, and the next question you ask is refused with a plain explanation rather than a wrong answer. Letting company administrators see and manage connections from inside Axle themselves is being built.

Disconnect

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, choose Axle, and disconnect. Your Axle account is untouched; the connector simply stops being able to ask on your behalf.

Privacy and support

What the connector keeps, and for how long, is set out in the privacy policy. Questions and security concerns: support@axlefoundation.com.
