Remote MCP connector

Bring Tandom's import tools into a compatible AI client.

Connect an AI workflow to 13 free, public, read-only tools for HTS research, duty calculations, AD/CVD screening, PGA signals, and related import checks.

Public describes the available tool catalog; it does not mean anonymous access. Authentication, plan eligibility, and connector controls depend on the client you use.

Remote MCP endpoint

https://mcp.tandom.ai/mcp

Direct programmatic clients can authenticate with a Tandom bearer API key. A hosted client may instead use a supported OAuth flow. Follow that client's current documentation and your workspace policy; the two setup paths are not interchangeable.

Catalog

13 public tools

Generated from the same public tool allowlist used by Tandom.

Tool behavior

Read-only

The public connector does not create, edit, approve, or buy anything.

Connection

Client-specific

Plan, workspace, authentication, and model support can differ.

Compatible clients

Start with the vendor's current setup guide

Connector menus and eligibility change. These links are the source of truth for each client; Tandom verifies its endpoint and public tool contract, not a vendor's plan or workspace configuration.

OpenAI

Plan and workspace dependent

Use a remote MCP server through ChatGPT custom apps or the OpenAI API where that capability is enabled.

ChatGPT availability, developer mode, workspace controls, and app approval differ by plan and administrator policy. API integrations have separate account and model requirements.

Anthropic

Plan and administrator dependent

Use Claude custom connectors or Anthropic's API MCP connector when remote MCP is available to your account.

Personal and organization plans have different connector limits and setup permissions. Team and Enterprise workspaces may require an owner or administrator to add and enable a connector.

Cursor

Client and policy dependent

Add Tandom as a remote Streamable HTTP MCP server in a project or user-level configuration.

Supported settings depend on your Cursor version and organization policy. Keep Cursor's normal tool review and approval controls enabled when testing a connection.

Google AI Studio and Gemini API

API path; availability varies

Google documents remote MCP through Gemini API function calling. AI Studio can support API-key and prompt prototyping for that workflow.

We do not assume a universal click-to-install MCP flow inside AI Studio. Remote MCP support varies by Gemini API model, SDK, project access, billing, and quota.

Setup principles

A reliable connection check

  1. 01Confirm that your plan, model, workspace, and administrator policy support remote MCP servers.
  2. 02Register https://mcp.tandom.ai/mcp through the client's documented remote MCP setting or API configuration.
  3. 03Use the authentication method that client supports: a Tandom bearer API key for direct programmatic access, or the client's supported OAuth flow where available.
  4. 04Inspect the discovered catalog. It should expose the 13 public tool names listed below.
  5. 05Keep the client's normal review and approval controls enabled. Check tool arguments and results before relying on them in an import decision.

Public catalog

13 free, read-only tools

This list is rendered from Tandom's public MCP allowlist, so the page and connector contract stay aligned. Exact tool names matter when you restrict a client to an approved subset.

Industrial-buyer example

Give the agent facts, boundaries, and a decision to support

I am comparing two named manufacturers for an industrial component: Candidate A in China and Candidate B in Mexico. Before using Tandom's tools, list the product facts you still need for a defensible HTS and duty analysis. Then compare likely origin and landed-duty implications, screen each named candidate for relevant AD/CVD orders, and flag possible PGA or document-readiness issues before a first order. Use only facts I provide and results returned by the tools. Do not invent a classification, supplier qualification, duty rate, or regulatory conclusion. Separate confirmed results from assumptions and questions for a customs professional.

Even read-only calls can include sensitive product, supplier, and shipment facts. Review what your client will send before approving a call, and do not include secrets the analysis does not need.

Free tools

Import analysis around facts you provide

The public tools help research classifications, duties, trade remedies, and regulatory signals. They do not choose a supplier, contact factories, validate production capability, negotiate a quote, or approve a purchase.

Paid sourcing service

Supplier discovery through execution

When you need candidate identification, technical qualification, quote collection, supplier coordination, and support through the sourcing project, work with Tandom's sourcing team.
