Manage your space in plain language. Book rooms, check availability and get reports from Claude, ChatGPT or other AI tools via Cobot’s MCP-integration.

Written by Laura

Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI tool to your Cobot account and handle everyday admin tasks in plain language. Book meeting rooms, check who’s in today or turn revenue into charts.

What You Need

  1. Admin access to a Cobot account (trial or paid subscription)

  2. Claude, ChatGPT or another AI tool that supports remote MCP servers

There’s nothing to install in Cobot.


Connect Cobot ChatGPT

  1. In Cobot, go to Add-ons and choose ChatGPT.

  2. Click Connect to ChatGPT.

  3. Log in to Cobot in the window that opens.

  4. Approve the request.

Your assistant is now connected. Try a first request in ChatGPT, like “Which desks are free this afternoon?”

Manage Permissions and Approval Settings in ChatGPT

You can change approval settings or disconnect Cobot from the Plugin settings in ChatGPT. Choose whether ChatGPT needs to ask you before reading or making any changes or whether it should automatically approve low-risk tools right away, for example.

Connect Cobot Claude

  2. Click Connect to Claude.

  3. Log in to Cobot in the window that opens.

  4. Approve the request.

Manage Permissions and Approval Settings in Claude

You can change approval settings or disconnect Cobot from the Connectors page in Claude. For each tool, choose whether your assistant can use it right away or must ask you first.

Review the access requested and choose whether to share personal data. Connect Other AI Tools.

Any assistant that supports remote MCP servers can connect to Cobot. The exact steps vary, but the flow is the same:

  1. Open the settings area where you add connectors or MCP servers.

  2. Paste in the Cobot server address: https://api.cobot.me/mcp

  3. Log in to Cobot in the window that opens.

  4. Approve the request.


Choose Whether to Share Personal Data

When you connect, Cobot shows the access your assistant is requesting and a checkbox labeled Share personally identifiable information with the AI agent.

This is an image of an OAuth permission dialog in Cobot coworking software where MCP Inspector is requesting access to view email address and view or edit data, with a highlighted unchecked option to share personally identifiable information with the AI agent, and Deny and Allow buttons at the bottom.

Check the box if you want your assistant to work with real names, for example to book a room for a specific member or to tell you who’s checked in.

If you leave the box unchecked, Cobot replaces names, email addresses and other personal details with placeholders like name_9624fdceb92e before your assistant sees them. Dates, times, prices and other details stay the same.

MCP server returning pseudonymized data

Your assistant can still check availability, list bookings and build reports, but it can’t tell who anyone is.

To change your choice later, revoke your assistant’s access and connect again.


Use Cobot on Your Phone, Laptop or in the Browser

Cobot works wherever you use ChatGPT, Claude or any other assistant: in the browser, the desktop app or the mobile app. Connect once, and Cobot is available on every device where you’re logged in to the same assistant account.

Talk to Your Assistant Instead of Typing

On your phone, switch to your assistant’s voice mode and say what you need. It’s handy when you’re walking through your space or between meetings:

  • “Book the meeting room for me tomorrow from 10 to 12.”

  • “Which offices are free this afternoon”

  • “Is the large meeting room free right now?”


What You Can Ask Your AI Tool

Your assistant can help with bookings, members, invoices and reports. It can also turn your data into charts and suggest improvements.

Bookings and availability

  • “Which desks are free this afternoon?”

  • “Book the small meeting room for Jane Miller tomorrow 10–12.”

  • “Move today’s 2pm boardroom booking to 3pm.”

  • “Any non-members coming in today?”

List of available resources, a short description and price per hour.

Members and check-ins

  • “Check out all members who are still checked in.”

  • “Which resources are allocated long-term, and to whom?”

  • “List the members of Team Acme.”

Reports, charts and insights

  • “Give me a pie chart of this month’s revenue from all my spaces.”

  • “Show this year’s revenue per month as a bar chart.”

  • “Which invoices are overdue?”

  • “Looking at last month’s bookings, what would you change?”

  • “What stands out in this chart?”

Pie chart showing the revenue by month.

ℹ️ Note: Your AI tool creates charts and suggestions from your Cobot data. Results depend on the assistant you use.

💡 Pro Tip: Be specific. Include your space name, a date and a time range. If you manage several spaces, your assistant can see all of them.


Security and Data Access

  • Login uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, the same method as the Cobot API. Your assistant never sees your password or an API key.

  • Access is limited to bookings, resources, memberships and invoices, and only for the spaces you manage.

  • Personal data is pseudonymized by default. You choose whether to keep this setting when you connect.

  • You can revoke an assistant’s access at any time under authorized applications.

⚠️ Important: Treat your assistant chats like any admin session that contains personal information, and apply the same data protection and confidentiality standards.


Next Steps

We’re adding more tools over time. If you have feedback or an idea for something you’d like your assistant to handle, let us know via support@cobot.me.
