- What is MCP?
- MCP, or Model Context Protocol, is a standard way for an AI assistant to use tools and work with data in another product. You do not need to install or learn MCP to connect Rentium — add Rentium's server URL once, then sign in normally.
- Why does ChatGPT or Claude call Rentium a custom or unverified connector?
- Rentium is not listed in the ChatGPT app or Claude connector directories yet, so it is added through their custom MCP flow. The warning is expected. Confirm that the server address is exactly https://api.rentium.app/api/mcp before continuing.
- Which ChatGPT plans can connect Rentium?
- ChatGPT custom MCP availability depends on your plan and workspace policy. Full read-and-write MCP support is currently a web beta for Business, Enterprise, and Edu. Pro supports read and fetch connections, but not Rentium's create, update, or memory-write tools. A workspace administrator may need to enable developer mode and approve the app.
- Does the connector get my Rentium password?
- No. Rentium uses OAuth: the connector sends you to Rentium's secure sign-in and receives permission to work in the workspace you choose. Your password is never entered into the connector form.
- What can ChatGPT or Claude do after I connect Rentium?
- The public connector can read authorized rental records, including owners, properties, units, tenants, leases, payments, the chart of accounts, and rent roll data; manage personal and workspace memory; and make ordinary creates or updates. For supported protected actions, Rentium shows an exact Approve/Reject MCP App before anything runs. When bank-agent access is enabled, it can use the same existing permission to review or categorize imported transactions, remove coding, match them to exact existing ledger entries, map rent-payment settlement accounting to an already-connected account, manage deterministic categorization rules, and request a refresh. A match does not reconcile a statement, and a settlement mapping does not change the provider bank account or move money. It cannot connect, complete, or disconnect a bank feed; retrieve balances or full account details, credentials, or identity documents; or move money.
- What happens to bank data I use with an AI?
- Rentium does not sell bank transaction data or use it to train models. When bank-agent access is enabled, its built-in assistant uses no-collection and zero-data-retention routing for bank requests. When you direct Rentium to send transaction data to ChatGPT, Claude, or another external tool, that provider's retention, training, location, and subprocessor terms apply to its copy. Rentium never exposes bank credentials, full account numbers, balances, or identity documents through these AI surfaces.
- Do I need ChatGPT or Claude to import my existing data?
- No. Rentium includes its own AI assistant. Open the assistant in your dashboard, attach spreadsheets, CSV files, PDFs, or screenshots, and ask it to import your portfolio. It proposes a plan for your confirmation before creating records.
- Can Rentium's built-in assistant use my Quo calls and messages?
- Yes. Each staff member can connect their own Quo access from Connections using OAuth, without copying an API key. Rentium discovers the tools that Quo makes available to that person at the time. Only tools explicitly marked read-only can run directly; sending a message, changing a contact or task, or using anything without clear read-only metadata always pauses for exact approval. Quo and the AI provider processing the turn apply their own terms to data they handle, and the staff member can disconnect the grant at any time.
- Does Rentium memory work with both the built-in assistant and connected AI?
- Yes. Rentium keeps personal and workspace memory as inspectable Markdown files in Rentium instead of copying it into an AI provider's private memory. The built-in assistant and connected ChatGPT or Claude conversations can use the same authorized memory tools. Personal files stay with one workspace membership; workspace files are limited to collaborators with workspace-wide assistant access. Whether a connector also shows native MCP memory files in its own browser depends on that host.
- Can I disconnect Rentium later?
- Yes. Remove or disconnect Rentium from the connector settings in ChatGPT or Claude. You can reconnect later and choose a Rentium workspace again.
