# Claude (Anthropic)

Connect MadKudu to your Claude

[**Claude**](https://claude.ai/) is an AI assistant developed by Anthropic, designed for helpful, honest, and harmless conversations.\
Teams use Claude to build copilots, agents, and automation layers — and with MadKudu integrated, those agents can reason with your prospect data, personalize responses, and prioritize accounts more intelligently with the context they need. 

## Pre-requisite 

You'll need your API key. Refer to [this article](/getting-started/quickstart.md) to get your API key. 

## You are on a Claude Paid plan 

1. Go to your [Claude Integrations settings](https://claude.ai/settings/integrations) and follow the official [Claude documentation](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11175166-about-custom-integrations-using-remote-mcp) to add MadKudu as a custom integration.  
2. Use the following remote MCP server URL (don't forget to replace the API key):

```
https://mcp.madkudu.com/YOUR_API_KEY/sse
```

:warning: Even though Claude complains about an authentication error, the MCP will work properly.

3. Verify Integration by asking Claude: "What tools do you have available from MadKudu?"

You can now use MadKudu MCP in Claude Web, Desktop, Mobile Web. 

## You are on a Claude Free plan 

You can use MadKudu MCP only in Claude Desktop. 

1. **Download** [**MCPs for Humans**](https://mcpsforhumans.com/download) (it will allow you to install MadKudu as easily as you had a Claude paid plan, no code or black magic required) 
2. Once installed, **open MCPs for Humans** from your apps
3. Click **Add a MCP Server** and select **MadKudu** 
4. Enter your MadKudu API key (Refer to [this article](/getting-started/quickstart.md) to get your API key. )
5. Click **Add Server**

6. Close MCPs for Humans, and **restart** your Claude Desktop (quit and reopen)

:warning: Even though Claude shows you an error, the MCP should work properly. (Claude is just grumpy these days)

In a new Claude chat, you should now see MadKudu in the tool list. Try a prompt like "Get account details about Walmart"&#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://developers.madkudu.com/madkudu-mcp/install-in-ai-platforms-in-2min/claude-anthropic.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
