PointRover

PointRover MCP Server

PointRover is a hosted, remote MCP server that gives an AI assistant grounded context about a small business: its industry, what it buys and how those inputs are moving upstream, tariffs on its imports, the rules it has to follow, and demand in its area. Every figure links back to the official record it came from, so the assistant can cite it instead of guessing.

All tools are read-only. The connector reads only the businesses in your PointRover workspace. It writes nothing and does not access your assistant's memory, chat history, or files.

This repository holds documentation only. PointRover is a hosted service; there is no server code to install or run.

Connecting

Server URL	https://pointrover.com/mcp
Transport	Streamable HTTP
Auth	OAuth 2.1 (authorization code + PKCE, dynamic client registration)

You need a PointRover account at pointrover.com with at least one business added and its board built (the first build takes about an hour). A 14-day trial is available. Each connection reads one business, chosen when you sign in.

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Add to .vscode/mcp.json (or your user MCP settings):

{
  "servers": {
    "pointrover": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://pointrover.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Start the server from the MCP view; VS Code opens the PointRover sign-in in your browser.

Using it

Once connected, ask your assistant about the business in plain words. For example:

• "What's moving in our costs this month, and why?"
• "Are any tariffs about to hit what we import?"
• "What rule deadlines are coming up for us?"
• "Show me the source for that price figure."

A good first call is pointrover_brief; the assistant can then search, fetch, or walk pointrover_graph for detail and use pointrover_receipt to cite where a number came from.
