Question 3

Is this an official Tekmetric product?

Accepted Answer

No, this is an independent, community-built tool. It is not an official Tekmetric product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Tekmetric, Inc. Users must request API access directly from Tekmetric.

Question 4

How do I get started with Tekmetric?

First, you need to request and obtain API credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) from Tekmetric. Once approved, you can easily install the Tekmetric desktop extension (`.mcpb` file) directly into Claude Desktop and configure your credentials to start querying.

Question 5

Can this tool modify my Tekmetric data or perform financial reporting?

Accepted Answer

No, the tool provides read-only access to your Tekmetric data and cannot modify any information.

For those needs, use Tekmetric's native reporting tools.
