Not yet. Connecting needs an admin login, because the reports it reads are admin-only.

Does it work with my main login if I run more than one venue?

It connects to the venue your login belongs to. To ask about another venue, connect with that venue's admin login.

Is my venue's data used to train AI models?

That depends on your AI app's own settings and terms, not Session. Check its privacy settings; your data goes to it under your account, in the same way as downloading a report.

The figures differ from my Reports page.

Check the dates. The assistant uses whole days in your venue's timezone, so ask for the same range you picked on the Reports page.

It says access was revoked.

An admin selected Revoke for your app. Ask them to select Allow again in Settings → Data.

It says AI connections aren't switched on.

They've been turned off for your venue. Get in touch if you want them back.

Connect Claude and other AI apps

Ask Claude about your revenue, occupancy, memberships and schedule by connecting it to Session (MCP connector). ChatGPT and other AI assistants on request.

Who can do this: admins only 2 min read

Connect an AI assistant to Session and ask it about your venue in plain English: "How did September compare to August?", "When are we quietest?", "Which sessions have space this weekend?". It reads the same figures as Reports, for your venue only.

Connect Claude

1
In Settings → Data, copy the address under Connected AI apps. It's https://bookasession.org/api/mcp.
2
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, paste the address and name it Session.
3
Select Connect. Sign in with your Session login and allow access when asked. You're sent back to Claude.
4
Start a new chat and ask something like "What venue am I connected to?" to check it works.

Claude is supported today. To use ChatGPT or another assistant that supports MCP connectors, get in touch and we'll enable it.

Warning

Use bookasession.org, not www.bookasession.org. The www address redirects, and the connection fails.

What it can see

The assistant can read:

Business summary - revenue, refunds, bookings, sessions run and occupancy, compared with the previous period
Revenue breakdown - over time, by payment type, or add-on sales
Occupancy - by session, your busiest and quietest times, and when customers book
Memberships and vouchers - members per tier, bundle and gift voucher take-up, and how much voucher value is still to be spent
Sessions - dates and times, spaces booked and left, for up to a month at a time

It can't see customers' names, emails or phone numbers, and it can't change anything: no bookings, sessions or settings. Amounts are in your venue's currency and times in your venue's timezone.

Revoke access

Every admin who connects appears under Connected AI apps with the app and when it was last used. Select Revoke to stop that person's app working with your venue straight away, and Allow again to undo it.
