Getting Started

Introduction

Learn how Dock AI connects your platform to AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

What is Dock AI?

Dock AI is the action layer for AI. We help platforms like restaurants, hotels, and booking services become accessible through AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and others.

When a user asks their AI assistant to "find a restaurant and make a reservation," Dock AI enables that AI to actually search your platform, check availability, and complete the booking on behalf of the user.

How it works

1. Connect

We create an adapter for your existing API

2. Authorize

Users connect via OAuth 2.0

3. Act

AI assistants perform actions securely

The MCP Protocol

Dock AI is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI systems to external tools and data sources.

Info

MCP is supported by Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), and other major AI platforms. One integration with Dock AI means your platform works across all of them.

Our MCP server exposes your platform's capabilities as "tools" that AI assistants can understand and use. For example:

Example MCP Tools
{
  "tools": [
    {
      "name": "search_businesses",
      "description": "Search for businesses by query, category, and location"
    },
    {
      "name": "get_availability",
      "description": "Get available booking times for a business"
    },
    {
      "name": "book",
      "description": "Make a reservation or appointment"
    },
    {
      "name": "contact_business",
      "description": "Send a message or inquiry to a business"
    }
  ]
}

For Partners

If you run a platform with an existing API and want to make your services available to AI users, we'd love to work with you.
