UPí in Claude and ChatGPT
UPí is upCampo's artificial intelligence. Besides chatting on WhatsApp, it can bring your farm into the assistant you already use — Claude or ChatGPT — so you can ask questions in plain language and record what happens in the field.
Look up everything, record what you authorize. UPí answers about any subject on the farm, records rain, fueling, work orders and incoming invoices, and sets up your farm by chatting — always with your confirmation, and only where your user already has permission in upCampo. It never deletes anything.
What it is
It's a bridge between the upCampo system and the AI assistant you already use. Once connected, you ask in your own words — "how much did it rain on field 12 this month?" — and the assistant looks up the answer in the upCampo system, instead of you opening the web portal and building a report.
It's the same data that UPí looks up on WhatsApp, opened to another channel. The difference is who's talking: on WhatsApp it's UPí, with upCampo's style and rules; here it's Claude or ChatGPT, using the data upCampo provides.
It uses MCP, the open standard that Claude and ChatGPT adopted to connect to external systems. In ChatGPT, UPí is already in the plugin list; in Claude, you enter this address:
https://mcp.upcampo.com.br/mcpYou sign in with your upCampo account, the same one you use for the web portal. The assistant sees only the farms your user already has access to — not one more.
Before connecting
Three things need to be in place:
- UPí included in your plan. It comes with the complete upCampo platform, up.360, with an annual contract. If it isn't part of your contract yet, talk to upCampo — learn more about UPí.
- An active upCampo account, with the email (or login) and password you already use on the web portal.
- Lookup permission enabled by your company's administrator. In the web portal, under access control, these are the permissions that start with "Consulta do tema" (subject lookup). They apply per farm: you can enable crops on one and inventory on another.
If "access not yet enabled" appears after you log in, it's the second requirement that's missing. Your username and password are correct; what's missing is the lookup permission. Ask your company's administrator.
Connect in Claude
- Open Settings and go to Connectors.
- Click Add and choose to add a custom connector.
- Enter the address
https://mcp.upcampo.com.br/mcpand confirm. - The upCampo login screen opens. Sign in with your email (or login) and password.
- Done. Start a new conversation and ask about your farm.
Leave "OAuth Client ID" and "OAuth Client Secret" blank. These fields are in the connector's advanced settings and are not your login and password: upCampo asks for your login afterwards, on its own screen. If they're filled in, the login screen doesn't open. If you've already filled them in, delete the connector and add it again, with the address only.
Connect in ChatGPT
In ChatGPT, UPí is an official plugin: it's already in the plugin list, and you don't need to enter any address.
- In the left menu, open Plugins.
- In Search plugins, type
upCampo. - Click UPí — upCampo and then Install plugin.
- Sign in with your upCampo account on the screen that opens. Then start a new conversation.
What to ask
Talk the way you'd talk to someone on your team. Some examples that work well:
If you have more than one farm, the assistant answers for your current farm. To ask about another one, just mention it: "and on Santa Rita Farm?".
Sample dashboards
Besides answering, Claude builds dashboards with the farm's data: charts, indicators and filterable tables that open in the browser and can be shared by link. The examples below were made by an upCampo customer, a grower, asking in just a few sentences. The data was replaced with fictitious numbers.
To build your own, connect UPí in Claude and ask, for example: "build a dashboard with the overdue maintenance plans for each machine". A dashboard keeps the data from the moment it was created. To update it, ask Claude again.
Subjects and permissions
Each subject depends on its own permission, enabled per farm in the web portal's access control. Without it, the assistant tells you which permission is missing.
Questions about how to use the system — where a screen is, what a field is for, how to create a record — don't depend on permissions: the assistant answers with the articles in this Help Center and gives you the link to each one.
| You ask about | Required permission |
|---|---|
| Production, harvest, yield and post-harvest (load tickets, bales, contracts) | Crops subject lookup |
| Rain and weather | Weather subject lookup |
| Pest monitoring and scouting | Pest scouting subject lookup |
| Agricultural work orders and production cost | Agricultural work orders subject lookup |
| Input inventory, lots and movements | Inventory subject lookup |
| Fleet, fueling and maintenance | Fleet subject lookups |
| Accounts payable and receivable, bank balance and statement | AI - Financial lookup |
| Purchasing: requisitions, quotes, price requests and purchase orders (by department, supplier and delay) | AI - Purchasing lookup |
What you can record
Besides looking things up, UPí records the farm's day-to-day entries. The first five are the same ones it handles on WhatsApp, and each depends on its own AI permission, enabled per farm:
| You can record | Required permission |
|---|---|
| Rain gauge reading | Rain entry |
| Equipment fueling | Fueling entry |
| Agricultural work order (activity, fields and products) | Agricultural work order entry |
| Work order execution (area, hours, equipment) | Agricultural work order execution entry |
| Incoming invoice for a product or service into inventory | Movement (invoice) entry |
The other entries can only be made through Claude and ChatGPT and follow the web portal screen permission: whoever can create records on that screen can enter them through the conversation, and whoever can edit can change the status of an existing entry.
| You can record | Web portal screen |
|---|---|
| Harvest load ticket | Harvest ticket |
| Outbound load ticket | Outbound Load Ticket (Sale) |
| Standalone load ticket | Standalone Load Ticket |
| Sales or purchase contract, amendment, finish, reopen and generate the contract's financial entries | Contract |
| Fleet maintenance work order, maintenance hours, start, pause, finish and reopen | Maintenance Work Order |
| Purchase requisition | Requisition |
| Quote and the purchase order generated from it | Quote |
| Purchase order | Purchase Order |
| Approve, reject or withdraw approval of a purchase order | Purchase order approval / Withdraw purchase order approval |
| Accounts payable and receivable, settlement (payment or receipt) and reversal of the settlement | Accounts Payable/Receivable |
| Transfer between bank accounts | Transfer between accounts |
The assistant always summarizes what's going to be entered and waits for your confirmation. If the permission is missing, it tells you which one — and nothing is saved. WhatsApp alerts can also be requested here — see How to get UPí alerts and daily summary.
The farm's records — field, product, activity type and the rest — follow a different permission rule, explained in Set up your farm.
Financials
UPí looks up the farm's accounts payable and receivable, and the balance and statement of its bank accounts — the same data as the Accounts Payable / Receivable and Bank Account screens in the web portal.
- Due dates: what's overdue, what's due today, this week or within a month.
- How much you owe or have to receive, by supplier, by customer, by management account, cost center or season.
- What has already been paid or received in a period, and whether payments went out on time.
- Cash flow month by month: forecast, actual and what's still open.
- Invoices: whether the bill for an invoice has already been paid.
- Balance and statement of each bank account.
Entering financial records follows the screen permission. Lookups require the AI permission below; entering accounts payable or receivable, settling them and transferring between accounts require the screen permission in the web portal (see What you can record). On WhatsApp, financials are lookup only.
Some safeguards the assistant follows on its own, which help you understand the answer:
- Each currency has its own total. Amounts in reais, dollars and guaranís are never added together.
- "Overdue" is calculated by the system, in the farm's time zone, by the date the installment actually falls due — the same rule as the web portal.
- A statement is always for one account. If you don't say which one, the assistant asks. Without a period, it shows the last 30 days and lets you know.
- The balance is the system's balance, not a sum of the statement — which also shows reversals of edited payments.
Financials have their own permission, AI - Financial lookup, enabled per farm. Having access to crops, fleet or inventory doesn't open the financials: the administrator needs to check that permission.
Set up your farm
UPí also creates the farm's records through the conversation: you type "I have fields T1 with 120 ha and T2 with 85 ha" — or attach the spreadsheet or PDF you already have —, it shows what it's going to save and, with your confirmation, saves it in upCampo. It's the same record as on the web portal screens — whatever comes in through the conversation shows up on the screen right away. It works for onboarding a new farm and for day-to-day upkeep: adding a field, fixing the name of a product, deactivating what's no longer used.
To get started, ask "I want to set up my farm in upCampo. What's missing?". UPí checks what the farm already has and points to the next step, in the order in which one record depends on another. The complete step-by-step, with sample sentences for each stage, is in the article How to set up your farm by chatting with UPí.
| Function | What it does |
|---|---|
consultar_cadastros |
Lists the farm's records; the progress view tells you what's missing for onboarding |
consultar_base_upcampo |
Looks up upCampo's reference base — crops with phenological stages, activity type templates, classes, products and units — to suggest the record |
cadastrar_safra |
Creates, edits and deactivates seasons |
cadastrar_cultura |
Creates, edits and deactivates crops (brought from the upCampo base, with their stages) |
cadastrar_variedade |
Creates, edits and deactivates varieties |
cadastrar_talhao |
Creates, edits and deactivates fields, and saves the field map (KML or points), calculating the area from it |
cadastrar_plantio |
Creates, edits and deactivates season planting (field, season, crop and variety) |
cadastrar_tipo_atividade |
Creates, edits and deactivates activity types, based on a template from the upCampo base |
cadastrar_pluviometro |
Creates, edits and deactivates rain gauges and the fields each one covers |
cadastrar_local_estoque |
Creates, edits and deactivates storage locations |
cadastrar_classe_produto |
Creates, edits and deactivates product classes |
cadastrar_produto |
Creates, edits and deactivates products |
cadastrar_fornecedor |
Creates, edits and deactivates suppliers |
cadastrar_subtipo |
Creates, edits and deactivates subtypes (Short Identification) and the activity types each one applies to |
cadastrar_tipo_equipamento |
Creates, edits and deactivates equipment types |
cadastrar_equipamento |
Creates, edits and deactivates machines, vehicles and implements |
cadastrar_funcionario |
Creates, edits and deactivates employees |
Opening inventory goes in through the incoming invoice function, as a standalone entry, once the product and the storage location have been set up.
Permissions to set up records
- The connection must be authorized for entries, not just for lookups. If it isn't, UPí warns "This connection was authorized for lookups only": disconnect and connect again, authorizing entries as well.
- The web portal screen's access control applies, per farm and per action: to create you need the create permission on that record's screen, to edit the edit permission and to deactivate the delete permission. People with no permission on any record screen don't even see these functions.
All or nothing. If one item in the list has a problem — duplicate name, missing area, unit that doesn't exist —, no item is saved, and UPí tells you which one and why. And deactivating doesn't delete: the record leaves the lists and its history stays. UPí also doesn't deactivate what's in use, such as a field with planting in progress or a product with a balance.
Getting new features
upCampo adds subjects to UPí over time — financials and the farm's records were some of them. If you had already connected, you don't need to disconnect or type your password again, but the assistant keeps the list of functions from when you connected. For it to start seeing the new feature:
In Claude
- Open Settings and go to Connectors.
- Go into the upCampo connector.
- Click the three-dot menu, next to Disconnect.
- Choose Refresh tool list.
- Start a new conversation. Conversations opened before the refresh still won't have the new feature.
Check the new function's permission. Under Tool permissions, the function that just arrived may be set to ask for your approval on every use (the hand icon), while the older ones are already allowed. Adjust it as you like.
In ChatGPT
Start a new conversation. If the new feature doesn't appear, uninstall the plugin in Plugins and install it again — the step-by-step is in Connect in ChatGPT.
A permission enabled by the administrator doesn't require any refresh: it applies from the next question. The refresh is only needed when upCampo releases a new subject.
Security
- Entries only with your confirmation. The assistant shows what's going to be entered and waits for your approval. Nothing is saved without it.
- Nothing is deleted. There is no function that deletes information. For records, deactivating removes the item from the lists and keeps its history.
- Entering data depends on its own permission, separate from the lookup permission and enabled per farm in the web portal's access control.
- Setting up records follows the web portal screen permission: creating, editing and deactivating each require the corresponding permission on that screen and for that farm.
- Financials also have their own permission, and are lookup only: the assistant doesn't make any financial settlement or entry.
- Your account, your access. The connector sees exactly the farms and subjects your user already sees in the web portal.
- The assistant doesn't keep your password. You type it on a screen run by upCampo itself; the assistant only receives an authorization, which you can revoke whenever you want.
- Nothing is copied. Each question looks up the data on the spot; the connector doesn't keep a copy of your agricultural data.
- End-to-end encrypted traffic (HTTPS).
Details on data handling are in the connector's privacy policy; the rules of use, in the terms of use.
Frequently asked questions
Can UPí change data in my system?
Besides looking things up, it can do two things. Record five kinds of entries — rain, fueling, agricultural work order, work order execution and incoming invoice — and create, edit and deactivate the farm's records: season, crop, variety, field, season planting, activity type, rain gauge, storage location, product class, product and supplier. Always with your confirmation at that moment, and only if your user already has the corresponding permission in upCampo.
Everything else is lookup only — including financials: UPí does not settle or enter accounts payable or receivable. And nothing is deleted: deactivating a record removes the item from the lists and keeps its history.
Do I need to purchase anything to use it?
Yes. UPí is included in the complete upCampo platform, up.360, priced per hectare, with an annual contract. Talk to upCampo to add it to your contract: learn more about UPí and see how the price is calculated.
You also need an account with the AI assistant you're going to use (Claude or ChatGPT), billed by that service.
What data from my farm can the AI assistant see?
Only data from the farms your user already has access to in the upCampo system, and only for the subjects enabled for you in access control: crops, weather, pest scouting, agricultural work orders, inventory, fleet, financials and purchasing. Each lookup is made on the spot, at your request.
"Access not yet enabled" appeared. What should I do?
It means the login worked, but your user doesn't yet have subject lookup permission on any farm. Ask your company's administrator to check, in the upCampo web portal's access control, the permissions that start with "Consulta do tema" (subject lookup).
Which farm does the assistant answer about when I have more than one?
Your current farm. If none is set as current, the assistant asks you to say which farm you want the data from. You can also mention the farm's name in the question itself.
upCampo released something new, but it doesn't show up in my assistant. What should I do?
The assistant keeps the list of functions from when you connected. In Claude, open Settings > Connectors, go into the upCampo connector, click the three-dot menu and choose Refresh tool list. You don't need to disconnect or type your password again. Then start a new conversation. See Getting new features.
Who can look up the farm's financials?
Only people who have the AI - Financial lookup permission enabled for that farm, in the upCampo web portal's access control. It is separate from the others: having access to crops or fleet doesn't open the financials.
Can I set up my farm by chatting with UPí?
Yes. In Claude or ChatGPT, you type — or attach as a spreadsheet or PDF — the season, crops, varieties, fields, planting, activity types, rain gauges, storage locations, classes, products, suppliers and opening inventory, and UPí saves them after your confirmation. Ask "what's missing?" and it tells you the next step. The connection must be authorized for entries, and your user needs the permission on the web portal screen for each record. See How to set up your farm by chatting with UPí.
How do I disconnect the connector from the AI assistant?
In the AI app itself, on the connectors screen, by removing the connection. Access ends immediately and no new lookup is possible without authorizing again.
Can the assistant get an answer wrong?
The numbers come from your upCampo system, but the sentence is put together by the AI assistant. For decisions that depend on precision — closing the season, checking inventory, final cost —, check the official report in the web portal. The connector is for quick lookups, not a replacement for the report.
Does it work on any Claude and ChatGPT plan?
In Claude, custom connectors are available on paid plans. In ChatGPT, UPí is an official plugin: just search for "upCampo" in Plugins and install it. That plan requirement in Claude comes from the AI assistant, not from upCampo.
