An AI assistant connected to your Saillogger account can answer questions about your boat and your travels in plain language. For example:

• "Where is my boat right now?"
• "How far did we travel this season, and which was our longest trip?"
• "Where did we stay in July, and for how many nights?"
• "When was the engine last serviced?"
• "Did the barometer drop overnight?"
• "How fast do we sail in 15 knots of apparent wind?"

The assistant reads the data listed below, as the Saillogger app shows it to you. It cannot change anything, and it cannot read your messages or your payment method. In account and status answers, an unnamed boat is shown without a name.

What an assistant can read

• Your name and your boats: where they are, their latest sensor data, their recent sensor history and their connection status
• Your logbook: trips, routes, the speed and wind recorded along each trip, statistics and badges
• The places you have stayed and your journal
• Your maintenance records, parts, vendors and their contact details, your notifications and the notes you have written
• Your photos and timelapse videos, as links, with when and where each photo was taken
• Your subscription (plan, price, status and billing dates) and which of your pages you share
• The boats you follow, who follows your boat, and the fleets you run or belong to, as you see them in Saillogger
• Public AIS information about other vessels, such as a name, position and recent track

Your Sharing settings do not limit a connected assistant: it reads your own boat even when your pages are private. A Saillogger boat you follow appears only as far as her owner's sharing settings allow, and other vessels appear with what their AIS broadcasts show.

Connect an assistant

The address to give your assistant is:

https://saillogger.com/mcp

1. In your assistant's settings, add Saillogger with the address above. Claude calls this a custom connector; other assistants use other names, and their help pages show where to add one.
2. The assistant opens a Saillogger page. Sign in if you are asked to.
3. Check the account you are signed in as, the name of the app and where access goes: claude.ai for Claude, chatgpt.com for ChatGPT. If anything is not what you expect, press Cancel. Otherwise, press Allow access.

To test the connection, ask the assistant a question about your boat.

If the assistant asks you to sign in again after a connection interruption, reconnect Saillogger from the assistant's settings.

Some assistants keep the list of what they can read from the moment you connected. When Saillogger adds something new and your assistant says it cannot read it, refresh Saillogger in the assistant's settings: in ChatGPT, open Settings > Apps > Saillogger and press Refresh, then start a new conversation. Reconnecting alone does not update the list.

Disconnect

To end a connection from Saillogger, open Settings > Account (saillogger.com/app/settings/account) and, under Connected apps, press Disconnect next to the assistant, then Disconnect again to confirm. From then on the assistant cannot read your data. What it has already read stays in your conversations with it.

On the classic site, Settings > General has a Manage connected apps button that opens the same list.

While your subscription is paused, Connected apps appears on the settings page. Press Disconnect next to the assistant and confirm. You can do this without resuming your subscription.

Removing Saillogger in the assistant itself may leave it listed under Connected apps. Press Disconnect there to end it in Saillogger too.

Things to know

• The connection is read-only. To change anything, use Saillogger.
• For imported trips, the wind reference is unknown. The assistant is instructed to leave that wind out of apparent-wind and polar calculations.
• A link to a photo, or to a part's picture, opens it for anyone who has the link. A timelapse video link opens only for you, while you are signed in to Saillogger.
• While your subscription is on a seasonal pause, a connected assistant cannot read your data. Your data is kept in full, and the assistant can read it again once you resume.
• Saillogger sends nothing to an assistant on its own: the assistant reads what it needs to answer you, from the list above, while it is connected. Whether it keeps your conversations, or uses them to improve its service, depends on its own settings and privacy policy.
