Short answer

How can I check live stock levels with my AI?

Your AI uses the Afosto MCP to pull current inventory counts from your various warehouse locations. You'll get a clear view of what's available and where it's stored. Here is how that works.

The outcomes

Where your data lands

The AI handles the heavy lifting of searching through your warehouse records.

LIVE DATA

Current stock counts

The AI pulls the latest numbers from your warehouses. You get the exact quantity currently on hand.

LOCATION

Warehouse mapping

The agent identifies which specific site holds your items. You'll see exactly which location needs attention.

AVAILABILITY

Stock status updates

The AI flags items that are running low or out of stock. This helps you manage availability without manual checks.

HUMAN

Manual inventory edits

The AI only reads the data. You still perform all physical counts and stock adjustments inside Afosto.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask about stock.

The AI acts as a direct interface for your warehouse data.

  1. Access warehouse data

    The AI connects to your Afosto account to see all registered locations.
