Questions

What can the AI do in BoxHero?

The AI can list items, stock per location, locations, stock transactions, sales and purchase orders, returns, partners, item attributes and team members. It can create and update items, partners and orders, record stock in, out, moves and adjustments, receive purchase orders, fulfill sales orders, set sales order status and create returns.

Does the AI see my BoxHero API token?

No. Your BoxHero credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Recording stock movements, receiving purchase orders and fulfilling sales orders change your on-hand stock, and they can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own BoxHero account.

Can I connect more than one BoxHero team?

Each BoxHero API token is bound to a single team, so the AI works in the team the token was issued in. For another team, issue a token in that team.
