Getting started

The basics of
JobberToClaude

Brand new here? Start with these. They cover what JobberToClaude actually is, how setup works, and who can use it.

What is JobberToClaude in plain English?

JobberToClaude is a private connector that lets you run your Jobber account by talking to Claude or ChatGPT in plain English. Ask 'what jobs are on tomorrow?' or 'send Sarah a quote for $400' and the AI reads or updates your real Jobber data. Under the hood it is a Jobber MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, but you never touch that layer: you connect once and start asking.

Do I need technical skills to set it up?

No. Setup is a guided flow that takes about 5 minutes: you create a developer app on your own Jobber account (we walk you through every click), authorize the connection, and paste your personal connector link into Claude or ChatGPT. No command line, no code, no IT person. If anything on your Jobber plan would block the connection, it surfaces in those first 5 minutes, well inside the free trial.

How long does setup take?

About 5 minutes for most owners. Start the 7-day free trial, follow the guided setup to connect your Jobber account, paste one link into Claude or ChatGPT, and your whole team can start asking. The step-by-step guide is at /connect-jobber-to-claude if you want to see the exact flow before signing up.

Can my whole team use one connection?

Yes. One JobberToClaude subscription covers up to 100 team members at the same flat $47 per month, with no per-seat charges. You connect your Jobber account once, and the office manager, the bookkeeper, and the crew leads can all use the same connector from their own Claude or ChatGPT.

Can I manage multiple Jobber accounts or locations?

Yes. JobberToClaude teams let one owner run a separate team for each Jobber account they have: one per franchise location or business, $47 per team, each with its own private connector and member list. You attach every team's connector to the same Claude or ChatGPT, name them, and address any location by name. Details: /jobber-mcp-multiple-locations.


How it works

Under the hood,
in plain language

A peek at the technology powering JobberToClaude, written so you can read it without a technical background.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT securely connect to outside tools and data. Instead of every AI building its own custom integrations, MCP gives them one common language. JobberToClaude is a Jobber MCP server: it speaks that language so your AI can read and write to your Jobber account on your behalf.

Does it work with ChatGPT or only Claude?

Both. The same private connector works in Claude (web, desktop, mobile, and Claude Code) and in ChatGPT through its custom connector support. Setup guides for each: /connect-jobber-to-claude and /connect-jobber-to-chatgpt. You are not locked into one AI, and switching later does not require a new subscription.

Can the AI change things in Jobber, or only read them?

Both, and you stay in control. It can look anything up, and it can also create jobs, send quotes, generate invoices, update client records, and assign team members. Every change made through the connector shows up in Jobber's history like any other edit, so you can review it, and the AI confirms with you before doing anything consequential.

Can it run things automatically on a schedule?

Yes. Claude's scheduled tasks (a beta feature on paid Claude plans) can run your connector on a clock: a schedule briefing every morning, a revenue report every Monday, a stale-quote sweep before deals go quiet. You write the instruction once in plain English and it runs on its own. Ready-to-copy recipes are at /jobber-automations.

Does it work from my phone?

Yes. The Claude and ChatGPT mobile apps use the same connector as desktop, so you can send a quote from a client's driveway before you pull away. Nothing extra to install beyond the AI app you already use.


What makes us different

How it compares to
the other options

There are a few ways to wire AI into Jobber. Here is the honest comparison, including self-hosted Jobber MCP servers.

What makes JobberToClaude different from other Jobber MCP servers?

Most Jobber MCP servers are API wrappers: they expose Jobber's raw endpoints one-to-one and leave the AI to figure the rest out. JobberToClaude designs each tool around how owners actually ask. Say 'send Sarah a quote for $400 for deck cleaning' and it finds the right client, builds the line items the way Jobber expects, and confirms before sending. It is also actively maintained: tools are tuned to keep your Claude usage efficient, updated when Jobber changes its API, and expanded based on what customers request. The honest build-vs-buy breakdown is on /pricing.

How is this different from Zapier or Make?

Zapier and Make are rule builders: you define 'when X happens, do Y' in advance, and every action step burns a metered task budget. JobberToClaude gives you both modes without a meter: ask anything in the moment in plain English, and put recurring reports on a schedule with the recipes at /jobber-automations. Heavy use never raises the flat $47 price. Zapier's Jobber integration also requires a mid-tier Jobber plan; JobberToClaude connects through a developer app on your own account instead.

How is this different from building a custom Jobber API integration?

A custom integration means hiring a developer, hosting the code, and maintaining it every time Jobber's API changes. JobberToClaude is that work already done and kept current: the conversational layer, the security, the hosting, and ongoing improvements, for $47 a month instead of a development project. If you are technical and want to run your own, the self-hosted comparison on /pricing lays out exactly what you would be taking on.


Security and data

Your account,
your control

Connecting any service to AI deserves care. Here is exactly how JobberToClaude treats your Jobber data.

Where is my Jobber data stored?

Your data stays in Jobber, where it always was. JobberToClaude reads or writes to your Jobber account in real time when your AI makes a request, and does not keep a copy or sync your records into a separate database. Each customer also gets their own isolated, private connector: your business never shares a server with anyone else's.

Are my Jobber login credentials stored anywhere?

No. The connection uses Jobber's official OAuth 2.0 login flow, the same standard every major integration uses. You log in directly with Jobber, and the connector receives a scoped access token, never your password. Your password never leaves Jobber.

Can I disconnect or revoke access at any time?

Yes, two ways. Revoke the app from inside your Jobber account settings, like any third-party integration, and it can no longer make requests. Or cancel your subscription, which goes further: your private server is deprovisioned, the Jobber connection is disconnected, and your data is deleted from our systems. The full cancellation policy is on /pricing.

Will Anthropic or OpenAI see my Jobber data?

They see what any Claude or ChatGPT conversation contains: the messages you send and the answers that come back, handled under their standard policies. JobberToClaude itself does not share your Jobber data with anyone, and never sells or repurposes your business information.


Pricing and access

What it costs,
in one place

The short version. The full breakdown, including the honest total cost and the self-hosted comparison, lives on the pricing page.

How much does JobberToClaude cost?

$47 per month, flat, after a 7-day free trial. That covers your own private connector, all 120+ Jobber capabilities, and up to 100 team members. There are no setup fees, no per-task fees, and no per-seat charges. You also need a paid Claude or ChatGPT plan (about $20 a month) if you do not already have one. Full details: /pricing.

Are there per-task or per-seat fees?

No. Flat pricing is deliberate: per-task and per-seat models punish the businesses that use automation most. Ask 5 questions a day or 50, run daily briefings, add your whole crew up to 100 people, and the price is the same $47.

What happens if I cancel?

You can cancel anytime, from inside the app or the Stripe billing portal, in a couple of clicks. On cancellation your private server is deprovisioned: the connector shuts down, the Jobber connection is disconnected, and your data is deleted from our systems. It is a clean exit by design. If you come back later, setup starts fresh and takes about 5 minutes.
