Public endpoint-level API documentation is limited, so integrations should describe return requests, shipment tracking, asset status, device recovery workflows, and HR/IT operations synchronization conservatively.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Remote Retrieval

Can Claude schedule equipment pickups from type.com?

Yes. With a Remote Retrieval connection shared to a Space, Claude can create orders and check order or pricing details directly in a thread.

How does type.com authenticate with Remote Retrieval?

Remote Retrieval uses an API key, added once by an admin when the connection is created, who then controls which Spaces can use it.

Can offboarding retrieval orders be scheduled?

Yes. A type.com automation can trigger a Remote Retrieval order as part of a recurring offboarding checklist and post confirmation to a channel.

Is this the same as a Remote Retrieval MCP server?

Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
