Are there any plans to support Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

Question

Are there any plans or discussions to implement MCP server support for Snipe-IT?

This would enable users to interact with their asset inventory through AI assistants using natural language, such as:

• "Check out asset 12345 to John Doe"
• "Show me assets assigned to the engineering department"

Context

I'm exploring the possibility of implementing an MCP wrapper for Snipe-IT for my own use, but wanted to check if there are any official plans before starting.

Thank you!

Hi! We are definitely not currently exploring anything to facilitate AI. While we're not actively doing anything to prevent it, we're not huge fans over here. The natural language part could be handled with a small set of str_replace() statements versus the earth-melting AI stuff, but hey, it's open source, so do your thing :)

We do know there are some Laravel packages that are trying to introduce AI into Laravel projects, so you might take a peek at those.

Thank you for the quick response and clarification!

I understand your position on AI features. I'll proceed with developing a standalone MCP server for my own use case as an external tool that works with Snipe-IT's existing API.

If it reaches a usable state, I may share it with the community as a separate project for those who might be interested.

Thanks again for maintaining this great project!
