AI Assistant Integration

Share rich context with Source Parts MCP tools

Attach bill of materials, preferred suppliers, and conversation breadcrumbs to every MCP invocation so assistants respond with actionable guidance.

Send structured context blocks

Include BOM snapshots, cost targets, and lifecycle constraints inside the `context` field. The Source Parts server keeps these separate from tool payloads for auditing.

Normalize SKUs to the Source Parts canonical format to avoid mismatches across distributors.
Attach `customerTier` metadata when using contracted pricing or regional catalogs.

Retrieve trace IDs for conversation chains

Every tool response includes a `traceId`. Store it with your chat transcript to replay the exact set of API calls later.

Forward trace IDs to your observability platform to correlate with downstream ERP or PLM events.
Combine context-aware responses with automation triggers to flag risky substitutions before quotes are released.
