# Claude (Anthropic)

[**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](https://developers.madkudu.com/getting-started/quickstart) 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](https://developers.madkudu.com/getting-started/quickstart) 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;
