Dumpster Controls MCP¶

Plain-language operations for a roll-off business. Dumpster Controls is free dumpster rental software for US and Canadian companies, and its MCP server lets owners, dispatchers and office staff work their account from Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client: orders, dispatch, customers, invoices and landfill receipts, with every write behind a propose-then-confirm gate. Available in Claude's connector directory and in the official MCP Registry as io.dumpstercontrols/dumpster-controls.

Server type: Remote (Streamable HTTP)
Auth: OAuth 2.1
Endpoint: https://mcp.dumpstercontrols.io/mcp
Tools: 24 (12 read-only, propose-then-confirm writes, app-only confirmations)
Pricing: Free
Category: Business Operations
Built by: Dumpster Controls (dumpstercontrols.io)

Why This Matters for Operators¶

Field service operators live in dispatch boards and invoice lists, not dashboards. This server puts the daily questions in plain language: which dumpsters are late for pickup, who is driving the next task, which invoices are past due, and what a customer owes. The assistant shows exactly what will change before anything does, and nothing happens until the operator says yes.

Money never moves through the server: price changes and cancellations are prepared in chat and confirmed inside the Dumpster Controls app, and the server never charges cards. Every request runs as the signed-in user, limited to their company and role.

Installation¶

claude mcp add dumpster-controls --transport http https://mcp.dumpstercontrols.io/mcp

Configuration¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dumpster-controls": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.dumpstercontrols.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The first connection opens a browser window to sign in and authorize access; credentials are reused for later sessions. Developer docs are published at dumpstercontrols.io/developers/mcp.

Business Relevance¶

Owners and dispatchers ask which dumpsters are late and who drives the next task
Office staff pull customers, invoices and what is past due in plain language
Admins review paid-versus-owed per order and daily totals
Field service operators generally get a reference pattern: propose-then-confirm writes, role-scoped access, and no money moving through the agent

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

Dumpster Controls is the vertical-operations layer that CorpusIQ complements with financial context. A composed workflow: CorpusIQ reports cash flow and customer revenue from QuickBooks or Stripe, the assistant reconciles it against the field picture from Dumpster Controls (invoices sent, past due, landfill costs), and the operator approves any follow-up in one session.

Limitations¶

Dumpster rental vertical only (US and Canada)
Writes require explicit confirmation; price changes and cancellations confirm inside the app
Every request is scoped to the signed-in user's company and role
No public repo; the hosted endpoint is the only install path

FAQ¶

Can the server charge cards or move money?¶

No. The server never charges cards or moves money. Price changes and cancellations are prepared in chat and confirmed by you inside the Dumpster Controls app.

What does propose-then-confirm mean?¶

The assistant shows exactly what will change and nothing happens until you say yes. Each write is a propose call followed by a confirm call.

Who can see and change what?¶

Every request runs as the signed-in user, limited to their company and role. Admin-only tools like finance summaries are gated to admins.
