AI Features
The JAMS Web Client adds two AI features that let you ask questions about your JAMS environment in natural language and get answers drawn from live JAMS data. They serve different purposes and require different setup.
- JAX
- JAMS MCP
Both features can be active at the same time. They use some of the same underlying JAMS data access, but they are independent. See the table below for a quick overview of the options.
| JAX | JAMS MCP | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is? | A chat assistant built into the JAMS Web Client screens. | A connection layer that lets external AI tools access the JAMS Web Client. |
| How to access it? | The  icon in the upper right corner of the JAMS Web Client. | Inside your existing AI tool, such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code. |
| Who sets it up? | IT Admin can enable it and choose the LLM. | Users can edit one configuration file in the AI client. |
| What do you need on your machine? | A JAMS account and a browser. | Node.js and a supported AI client. |
| What LLM Provider is used? | Admin-configured. | The LLM your AI client already uses. |
| How does it handle write actions? | Approval prompt in JAMS Web Client. | Approval prompt in the AI client. |
| What is it best suited to do? | Anyone who wants AI assistance directly in the JAMS Web Client without additional tools. | Teams already using AI coding/chat tools. |
