slug: claude
------------

Claude currently exposes remote MCP setup through **custom connectors**.

## Before you start

Custom connectors using remote MCP are currently available on Claude for `Free`, `Pro`, `Max`, `Team`, and `Enterprise` plans.

* On `Team` and `Enterprise`, only an `Owner` or `Primary Owner` can add the custom connector to the organization.
* After the connector has been added to a `Team` or `Enterprise` organization, individual members connect it for their own account access.
* On individual plans such as `Free`, `Pro`, and `Max`, you can add the connector directly from your own settings.

## Team and Enterprise setup

If you are on a Team or Enterprise workspace, have an Owner or Primary Owner add the connector first:

1. Open `Organization settings > Connectors`.
2. Click `Add custom connector`.
3. Enter this connector info:

| Field                 | Value                            |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Name                  | `AskElephant`                    |
| Remote MCP server URL | `https://app.askelephant.ai/mcp` |

4. Click `Add`.
5. Ask workspace members to go to `Settings > Connectors`, find `AskElephant`, and click `Connect`.

If you also want the API docs connector, the workspace owner should add a second connector:

| Field                 | Value                                     |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Name                  | `AskElephant API Docs`                    |
| Remote MCP server URL | `https://docs.askelephant.ai/_mcp/server` |

## Free, Pro, and Max setup

1. Open Claude or Claude Desktop.
2. Go to `Settings > Connectors`.
3. Click `Add custom connector`.
4. Enter this connector info:

| Field                 | Value                            |
| --------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Name                  | `AskElephant`                    |
| Remote MCP server URL | `https://app.askelephant.ai/mcp` |

5. Click `Add`.
6. Complete any sign-in or authorization flow if Claude prompts for it.

## Add the API docs connector

If you also want Claude to understand the AskElephant public API while generating code or answering integration questions, add a second custom connector:

| Field                 | Value                                     |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Name                  | `AskElephant API Docs`                    |
| Remote MCP server URL | `https://docs.askelephant.ai/_mcp/server` |

## How to use them

After setup, enable the connectors in a chat and prompt Claude with tasks like:

* `Find the last customer meeting we had with Acme and summarize the transcript.`
* `Show me transcript timeline details for our latest call with Contoso.`
* `How do I list contacts updated since a checkpoint using the AskElephant API?`

## Notes

* Anthropic's current help docs split the flow by plan: `Settings > Connectors` for individual plans, and `Organization settings > Connectors` for Team and Enterprise owners.
* Claude Mobile can use remote connectors that were already added on Claude web or Desktop, but you cannot add new ones directly from mobile.
* If you only want one connector, start with `AskElephant`. Add `AskElephant API Docs` when you want stronger API-building help in the same chat.
