Connect an AI assistant

If you connect Claude, Codex, or another MCP-compatible assistant to your DevGhouse workspace, it can do most of what this guide covers by hand, through the platform's discover module. See Integrations: MCP for how to get a connection token; once connected, the assistant reaches Marketplace the same way you do, scoped to your account or workspace.

What it can do

• Browsing: marketplace_browse, marketplace_browse_talent, marketplace_search, marketplace_filters, marketplace_listing_detail, marketplace_profile_public, marketplace_community_directory
• Buying and selling products: marketplace_listing_create, marketplace_listing_update, marketplace_listing_close, marketplace_my_listings, marketplace_my_purchases, marketplace_my_sales, marketplace_listing_heart
• Your seller profile and services: marketplace_profile_get, marketplace_profile_update, marketplace_profile_upload_image, marketplace_service_create, marketplace_service_update, marketplace_service_delete, marketplace_service_inquiries, marketplace_service_inquiry_reply
• Jobs: marketplace_offer_create for hiring someone directly, marketplace_proposal_submit for applying, marketplace_proposal_list_mine / marketplace_proposal_list_received, marketplace_proposal_shortlist, marketplace_proposal_hire, marketplace_proposal_decline, marketplace_proposal_withdraw
• Offers: marketplace_offer_list, marketplace_offer_show, marketplace_offer_accept, marketplace_offer_decline, marketplace_offer_withdraw
• Contracts: marketplace_contract_create, marketplace_contract_show, marketplace_contract_accept, marketplace_contract_start, marketplace_contract_complete, marketplace_contract_pause / marketplace_contract_resume, marketplace_contract_dispute, marketplace_contract_review
• Deliverables and milestones: marketplace_contract_add_deliverable, marketplace_contract_milestones, marketplace_contract_milestone_submit, marketplace_contract_milestone_approve, marketplace_contract_milestone_fund, marketplace_contract_milestone_dispute
• Escrow and payment: marketplace_contract_escrow, marketplace_contract_release_funds, marketplace_contract_refund_funds, marketplace_contract_transactions
• Hourly work: marketplace_time_start, marketplace_time_stop, marketplace_time_entries, marketplace_timesheets
• Messages: marketplace_contract_messages, marketplace_contract_send_message

For example: "Find three developers suited to this brief and explain the matches. Do not message, hire, or fund anything" lets an assistant search and compare without taking any action that spends credits or commits you to a contract.

Where this fits your workspace

A routine or agent working in a project sees the marketplace mode, which groups Marketplace's discover module together with your workspace's own product catalog (products) and courses. A run started without a specific project reaches your whole personal context or shared workspace instead of one project's slice of it.

Anything that spends credits, moves money into or out of escrow, or commits you to a job asks for your explicit approval first, the same way a person would confirm before clicking a button. Discover the exact tools and permissions available to your connection with search_tools before relying on a specific one.
