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

# Understand AI connector permissions and roles

What Claude can do follows your role in Dumpster Controls and the permissions you approved on the consent screen.

1. ## Office roles
  Owners, admins, supervisors and dispatchers can read orders, customers, invoices and landfill receipts, and can propose dispatch completions, driver assignments, order edits, invoice sends and customer changes.
2. ## Admins and supervisors only
  Money reports (paid, refunded and owed per order, daily totals) and preparing price changes or cancellations are limited to admins and supervisors.
3. ## Drivers
  A driver account sees only the account information through the connector. Drivers keep using the driver app.
4. ## One company per connection
  The connection is tied to the company of the user who signed in, and every answer is limited to that company. To work with another company, connect with a user of that company.

## What happens next

- A permission that was not granted is not even offered to Claude.

## Troubleshooting

### My role changed and Claude still has the old permissions.

Disconnect the connector in Claude and connect again.

## 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.
