# Ambiscribe

> Ambiscribe is IT documentation and change-detection software. It snapshots
> every endpoint (Windows, macOS, Linux) every five minutes, records what
> changed at the field level, and exposes the current state and full history
> to engineers and to AI agents over the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
> It is read-only by design and is not an RMM: it documents and answers, it
> does not run commands, push patches, or take action on machines.

Key facts:
- Snapshot interval: every five minutes, per endpoint, diff-aware.
- Platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux agents, plus a LAN probe for network
  devices (firewalls, switches, access points) over SNMP and vendor APIs.
- AI access: fifteen read-only MCP tools, scoped per client, over
  mcp.ambiscribe.io with token auth. Works with any MCP-compatible agent
  (e.g. Claude Code, Claude Desktop).
- Multi-tenant: per-client scoping, baselines, retention, and roles. Built
  for MSPs running many fleets.
- Not an RMM, not patch management, not remote scripting, not ticketing.
