AI Connector (MCP for Claude) · updated 2026-09-28

# How the AI connector keeps your data safe

The connector is built so that Claude can help without holding your credentials or acting behind your back.

1. ## Your password stays with us
  You sign in on dumpstercontrols.io with OAuth 2.1 and PKCE. Claude never sees your password, and the tokens behind the connection never reach the AI; they are stored encrypted.
2. ## Only your company
  Every call runs with your own session, and the database checks your user and company on each one. The company is never taken from the conversation.
3. ## Nothing without you
  Changes need your confirmation in the chat, and money changes need your click in the app. Text inside your records (a note that looks like a command) cannot trigger anything by itself.
4. ## Everything is logged
  Proposals, their outcome and every confirmed change are recorded, and confirmed changes leave the same history as the same action in the app.
5. ## Privacy
  Dumpster Controls does not use your data to train models and does not sell it. Details: dumpstercontrols.io/developers/mcp/privacy.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The software is free: dispatch, online booking, the driver app, invoicing, the Tresha AI assistant and every other feature, with no monthly fee, no trial period and no credit card to sign up. The only cost is optional card processing when a customer pays by card through the platform: 2.99% plus $3.99 per transaction on the free plan. An optional Unlimited plan at $169 per month lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30. Prices as published on dumpstercontrols.io/pricing on 2026-09-23.

### Do you charge per driver, per truck or per order?

No. There is no per-driver, per-truck, per-user or per-order fee, and no order limit. A company with one truck and a company with twenty pay the same for the software: nothing.

### Is there a contract?

No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no setup fee. You create the account yourself, and on the free plan there is nothing to cancel because nothing is billed. The optional Unlimited plan is billed month to month.

### Which countries and languages are supported?

Dumpster Controls serves hauling companies in the United States and Canada. The app interface and the Tresha AI assistant are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The public pages, such as the blog, the help center and the landfill finder, are in English.

### How do I switch from another dumpster software?

Create a free account at dumpstercontrols.io/login, with no sales call and no credit card. Then import your customers from a CSV file using the template provided in the app; past orders can also be imported from a CSV. Container sizes and pricing are set up in Settings. The landfill database, with 2,916 active US landfills as counted on 2026-09-23, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
