Short answer

Can my AI check my inventory levels?

Yes. Your AI uses the Wherefour MCP to pull live stock data and search for specific ingredients or products. You'll get a clear view of what's on hand and what's running low.

Audit outcomes

Where your data lands.

The AI processes your catalog to produce these specific results.

STOCK

Low stock alerts

The AI identifies items falling below your set thresholds. You get a list of exactly what needs reordering.

AVAILABILITY

Ingredient searches

Ask if you have enough of a specific ingredient for a recipe. The AI checks current counts against your needs.

ACCURACY

Discrepancy reports

Compare digital records against physical counts. The AI flags mismatches that require a human to investigate.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI identifies errors but won't change your stock levels. You must manually update counts in Wherefour to fix discrepancies.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your live inventory data.

  1. Catalog scan

    The AI pulls a complete list of every item currently in your system to establish a baseline.

    list_inventory_items

  2. Targeted lookup

    When you ask about a specific product, the AI finds that exact record to check its current status.

    get_inventory_item

  3. Pattern matching

    The AI looks for specific keywords or categories to find ingredients related to your query.

    search_inventory

  4. Data synthesis

    The AI compares the retrieved data against your questions to highlight shortages or surpluses.

FAQ

How the inventory audit works

  • 01

    Can the AI update my stock levels?

    No. The AI can only read and search your inventory. You must perform all stock adjustments manually in Wherefour.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete items from my catalog?

    No. This MCP is read-only. It cannot delete, move, or modify any records in your system.

  • 03

    How real-time is the data?

    The data is as real-time as your Wherefour account. The AI pulls the current values directly from your database when you ask.

  • 04

    Can I search for items by SKU?

    Yes. You can ask the AI to find specific items using their SKU or exact name.

  • 05

    Does the AI know my recipe requirements?

    The AI only knows what you tell it in the prompt. If you tell it how much flour a recipe needs, it can check your stock against that amount.
