# Claude MCP Integration

Set up the Archera MCP custom connector in Claude so you can ask Archera-specific questions and try basic actions.

### Prerequisites

* Access to an Archera account  
* Access to Claude with Custom Connectors enabled

### Step 1 - Add the MCP Custom Connector in Claude

1. Open Claude or Claude Desktop and go to **Settings** -> **Connectors**.

2. Choose **Add connector** or **+** -> **Add custom connector**.  
3. If prompted for a connector type, choose **Custom** -> **Web**.  
4. Name the connector `Archera`.  
5. For the connector URL, paste the production endpoint:
   
   ```
   https://mcp.archera.ai/mcp
   ```

6. Click **Add**, then click **Connect**.  
7. Sign in to Archera when prompted, review the consent screen, and approve access.

For Team or Enterprise plans, an owner may need to add the connector from **Organization settings** -> **Connectors** before members can connect it.

Claude registers itself automatically during setup using OAuth Dynamic Client Registration.

Once connected, you will see the Archera connector in your list:

### Step 2 - Try it out in a new chat

Start a fresh Claude chat and ask Archera questions like:

* "What are my available savings on Archera?"
* "What is my lifetime savings on Archera?"
* "Apply the recommended plan."

### What to expect

The MCP connector provides direct access to Archera's API through Claude, allowing you to:

* Query your cloud commitment metrics and savings  
* View commitment plans and recommendations  
* Access detailed commitment plan information  
* View your cloud resources and usage data

The connector includes built-in Archera context to provide richer answers about Archera's platform, products, and services.
