# Get started

Your ShowPost workspace, connected.

Find the information you need, keep post-production moving, and bring your workspace into your AI conversations.

## Connect your workspace

ShowPost MCP lets a connected AI assistant read the projects and work you can access in ShowPost. You can also allow it to create and update Task Manager work.

[MCP](https://docs.showpost.io/get-started/mcp)

Connect your assistant to ShowPost, sign in, and try your first requests.

## Before you start

- **A ShowPost account** — An active account with access to your workspace.
- **ChatGPT or Claude** — An account that allows custom MCP connections. No API key or client credentials are needed.
- **Access to your sign-in email** — You’ll receive a verification code when signing in to ShowPost.

> **Use your own account**
> Your assistant uses your ShowPost permissions. Connecting it does not grant access to another person’s projects or restricted departments.

## Need a hand?

For workspace access, contact your production administrator. For connection issues, open ShowPost support and include the client you’re using and the error you see. Keep passwords and verification codes private.
