What your AI can do hereConnector snapshot 2026-08-23
Connect Alpaca to ChatGPT or Claude with your own Alpaca login or an API key, and your AI can run 100 of its actions. 84 of those only read and change nothing. 6 can delete or send something that cannot be undone, so those need a boundary you set before anyone runs them.
Alpaca also publishes its own MCP server, which is a second way in. Vendor documentation
This describes what Alpaca supports, which is one half of the picture. Where you
start depends on the task and on how much you have handed over before, and no page can
tell you that from a count.
BUILT-IN AI No AI feature a normal user can reach. Wins here come from connecting it to something else.
No event triggers. Every win in this app is invoked: you or an agent asks, an action runs.
