# Anvyl MCP for AI Agents MCP

> Anvyl connects your AI agent directly to your operational data, letting you manage the entire supply chain conversationally. You can list all purchase orders, check specific parts and supplier details, track shipment logistics, or confirm a production milestone—all without clicking through dashboards.

## Description

Managing a complex supply chain means juggling dozens of systems and constantly switching between status updates, part catalogs, and supplier contacts. This MCP changes that by routing your Anvyl data directly into your chat interface. Instead of manually navigating multiple tabs to check if an order is on track or finding out why a shipment is delayed, you just ask your AI client. 

Your agent pulls up the exact purchase order details, confirms which milestones were completed, and even fetches current tracking records for any PO number. Need to know about a supplier's specific part specifications? Ask, and it retrieves the data instantly. This keeps your entire team focused on solving problems rather than searching through dashboards. It's all available within the Vinkius catalog, giving you one connection point for critical ERP functions.

## Capabilities

### List all purchase orders
Creates a master list of every purchase order tied to your team's accounts.

### Get details for one purchase order
Pulls up the full record, including line items and initial status, for any specific PO number.

## Use Cases

### A PO is stuck and needs a status update.
The Operations Lead asks: 'What's happening with PO #789?' The agent uses list_purchase_orders to confirm the order exists, then uses list_milestones to show that Quality Inspection is delayed. The lead can then use delay_milestone to immediately record the reason and new expected date.

### A part number isn't recognized by a junior planner.
The Procurement Specialist asks: 'Can you give me specs for 45B-Housing?' The agent uses get_part to instantly pull up the required technical data and material compatibility, allowing the specialist to continue planning without interrupting the workflow.

### Need a full picture of logistics for next quarter's build.
The Supply Chain Manager asks: 'Show me all tracking records for PO #1234.' The agent uses list_logistics to pull every shipping update and delivery milestone, giving the manager a complete timeline overview.

## Benefits

- Instantly confirm or delay milestones. Instead of logging into the portal to update status, you use a single command to record completions or delays directly through your agent.
- Stop manual data lookups for parts and suppliers. You can ask the AI agent to pull up any part number's specs or retrieve supplier contact details in seconds using tools like get_part and get_supplier.
- Get an immediate view of all POs. Use list_purchase_orders to see every active order, then use list_logistics on a single PO to track its exact delivery timeline—no dashboard clicks required.
- Automate status reports for your team. By using the agent to list_milestones and get_purchase_order, you can generate instant summaries of production health for management review.
- Cut down coordination time. Your AI client handles the complex cross-referencing of order data with logistics records using list_logistics, keeping everyone in the loop.
