Claude Integration

Learn how to connect an external AI agent to your Ivorey™ account using the MCP server, and access our step-by-step instructions, FAQs, and everything you need to know!

Before You Dive In

Our MCP (Model Context Protocol) server allows AI tools and agents, like Claude, to connect directly to your Ivorey™ account - so your AI can read contacts, update pipelines, book appointments, pull conversation history, and more, all from inside the AI tool itself. This essentially acts as the bridge between your external AI tool and your Ivorey™ account and data.

What can Claude do once connected to Ivorey?

Once connected, Claude can interact with your Ivorey™ account, with no need to open the platform or click through menus manually. Depending on the permissions you choose to allow, this could include:

  • Contacts - search, create, update, and delete contacts; manage tags, notes, tasks, followers, and appointments; look up duplicates; and assign contacts to businesses

  • Messages - read, send, create, update, and search conversations across all channels; check message status

  • Pipelines & Opportunities - view and manage pipelines, search and create opportunities, update pipeline stages, manage followers, and log lost reasons

  • Calendars & Appointments - create calendars, check availability, book and manage appointments, manage calendar groups, resources, services, and blocked slots

  • Payments - view orders, subscriptions, transactions, and coupons

  • Products & Store - manage products, prices, collections, inventory, and store settings

When granting Write permissions, Claude (or any external AI agent you connect) will be able to make changes to your Ivorey™ account. You will be solely liable for any actions Claude or any third party tool takes within your Ivorey™ account. Only enable the permissions you are comfortable with, and we strongly recommend setting any enabled Write actions to Needs Approval.

How to Connect Claude to Ivorey™ via MCP

The connection between your Ivorey™ and Claude account can be set up directly inside Claude (on browser or desktop), using our dedicate Claude MCP endpoint.

Click here for the written steps
  1. Open your Claude account on browser or via the desktop app (or your Claude Cowork account) > click [Customize] in the left-hand sidebar > and select [Connectors]

  2. Click the [+] plus icon > and select [Add custom connector]

  3. In the Name field, type in what you want the connection to be called (e.g. Ivorey) > and in the Remote MCP server URL field, paste in the following URL: https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/anthropic/v2

    Note: If you are connecting a different external AI tool (e.g ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.), please use the URL: https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/ - dedicated endpoints for other external platforms are being developed.

  4. Leave the Advanced Settings fields blank > and click the [Add] button

  5. Once your custom connector is created, in the right-hand window, click the [Connect] button

  6. You will be redirected to a LeadConnector Installation page, click [Install] > and log in using your usual Ivorey™ account login details (for the account you want to connect)

  7. Click the [↓] drop-down arrow next to each listed area inside of your Ivorey account (e.g. Contacts, Calendars, etc.) > and check the boxes of the specific Read and Write permissions that you want to enable

    Note: These permissions control what actions Claude can take. With read-only permissions, Claude can look up and read your account data, search your contacts, conversations, records, and answer questions, but it can’t make any changes. With write permissions enabled, Claude can create, edit, rename, or delete items within the scopes/areas you've allowed.

  8. After permissions are configured, click the [Allow & Install] button, at the bottom > you will be redirected back to your Claude account

  9. Inside the custom connector settings, in Claude, choose how Claude should use the available tools:

    1. Read-only - Describe Operation, Fetch Records, Search Records, and Search Operations

    2. Write/delete - Execute Operation

  10. Select either [Always Allow], [Needs Approval] or [Blocked], for each of the tools > or use the drop-down to set the rules for the entire group of Read-Only and Write/Delete tools

    Note: If you want to control when Claude can and can’t make changes to your Ivorey™ account, set the Write/Delete tools to [Needs Approval]. This means Claude can look things up but can’t make changes without your explicit sign-off.

  11. In the top right corner, click the [⋮] three dots > and select [Refresh tools list] to save your settings

    Note: You can return here to adjust and refresh the tool settings at any time. To reconfigure the permission scopes for the connection, you can click the [Disconnect] button, at the top > click the [Connect] button > and repeat the steps above to select the permissions you want to enable.

  12. Click the [←] back arrow, at the top > and make sure there is a ✔ tick icon in the Status column for your new Ivorey™ connector - your Claude is now connected to Ivorey™ 🎉

  13. Click the [X] exit button, in the top right corner > and open a new chat or an existing chat inside Claude

  14. Click the [+] plus icon in any chat > hover over Connectors > and toggle ON your Ivorey™ custom connector, to enable it for that conversation > then ask Claude anything about your Ivorey™ account, to test the connection

  15. If you set any tools to Needs Approval, Claude may prompt you to approve a tool > click either [Always Allow], [Deny] or click the [↓] drop-down arrow > and select [Allow Once]

    Note: We recommend selecting Allow Once, if you want Claude to continue requesting approval before using that tool.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I connect multiple Ivorey accounts?

Only one Ivorey™ account can be connected to one Claude account at a time.

Why can’t I add a custom connector to my Claude account?

If you are on Claude’s Free plan, your account will be limited to one custom connector - confirm if you already have in place, and consider whether you need to upgrade plans or if you can remove the existing custom connector.

If you are on Claude’s Team or Enterprise plans, only an account admin will have permissions to create a custom connector. Please ask your Claude account admin to create the connector, at which point you should be able to go in and connect it to your Ivorey™ account.

Can I undo changes that Claude makes to my Ivorey account?

You can’t automatically undo Claude’s actions inside your Ivorey™ account. Changes made by Claude follow the same rules as any other changes made inside your account - some things can be undone manually (e.g. removing a tag or deleting a note), but others (e.g. sent messages) can’t be reversed.

We recommend reviewing your permissions carefully before enabling Write access, and always double-checking Claude's actions before approving them. If you'd prefer Claude to suggest changes without making them automatically, set your Write/Delete tools to [Needs Approval] so you can review each action before it's carried out.

How do I connect a different AI that isn’t Claude?

If you are using a different AI tool that supports MCP instead of Claude, you can connect it using the URL: https://services.leadconnectorhq.com/mcp/

Refer to that external tool's documentation for how to add a custom MCP connection, or reach out to their support for guidance.

Note: The original endpoint works with any HTTP-based MCP client but has more limited coverage than the Claude-specific endpoint. For the widest range of capabilities, Claude is currently the recommended option. Dedicated endpoints for other external platforms, like the one we have for Claude, are being developed.
