Connect Claude

This guide explains how to plug Claude into strivn. Before you start, external AI access must be enabled on at least one of your teams: see Connect your AI.

The address is always the same: https://app.strivn.net/mcp.

Claude (claude.ai and desktop app)

Add the connector (Free, Pro, Max)

1. Open Customize › Connectors (claude.ai/customize/connectors).
2. Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
3. Name: strivn (the name shown in the connector list).
4. URL: https://app.strivn.net/mcp, then Continue.
5. Keep the sign-in settings Claude suggests (Sign in now or Sign in when needed, and Use Claude’s published identity (Recommended)). Leave Request headers empty.
6. Click Add.

Claude sends you to strivn’s Authorize screen: sign in if needed, check the account shown, then click Authorize.

Translated interface

If your Claude interface is in another language, the menus carry their translated equivalent. The path stays the same.

Team and Enterprise plans

On an organization plan, an Owner of the Claude workspace first adds the connector for everyone: Organization settings › Connectors, Add, hover Custom, then Web, and follow the same steps. Each member then opens Customize › Connectors, selects strivn and clicks Connect to sign in with their own strivn account.

Use it in a conversation

In a conversation, click the + button at the bottom left, then Connectors, and turn strivn on. Then just ask: “List my strivn teams”, “Give me the U19 schedule for this week”.

Claude asks for your approval before using a strivn tool. For changes (creating an exercise, recording a result…), read the request before accepting and keep Always allow for read-only tools.

Research mode

In Research mode, Claude calls its connectors’ tools without asking for approval. Before starting a research with strivn turned on, block the tools that change data: Customize › Connectors, strivn, then set the propose_… tools to Blocked.

Claude Code

1. In a terminal, add the server:

   claude mcp add --transport http strivn https://app.strivn.net/mcp

   Add --scope user to have it in all your projects rather than only the current folder.
2. Restart Claude Code: the server list is read at startup. To resume the same conversation: claude --continue.
3. Type /mcp, choose strivn, then Authenticate. Your browser opens strivn’s Authorize screen; click Authorize.

A team enabled later

Claude Code loads the tools when the session starts. If you enable external AI access on a new team during a session, restart Claude Code (claude --continue) so its tools appear.

Disconnect Claude

• In strivn: Profile › Connected AI assistants, then Revoke.
• In Claude: Customize › Connectors, strivn, then disconnect it; in Claude Code, claude mcp remove strivn.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	What to do
Claude only offers list_my_teams	None of your teams has external AI access enabled. Enable it in the team settings.
”This tool is not available for you on this team”	Your role in that team doesn’t allow this action in strivn either.
”AI access is off for this team”	Access was turned off for that team; ask someone who manages its settings to turn it back on.
Claude can’t connect any more	Access may have been revoked: reconnect strivn in Customize › Connectors.
