Connect Claude via MCP

Connect Serenities to Claude using MCP connectors. Once connected, you can use all Serenities tools — databases, sites, flows, and more — directly inside Claude chat.

MCP vs BYOK: this page connects Serenities to Claude (an outside tool), so Claude can drive your Serenities data and sites. To go the other way — bring an AI key into Serenities and use it in the builder chat and flows — see Connect AI (Bring Your Own Key).

Before You Start

You'll need:

  • A Serenities AI account (free or paid)
  • A Claude AI subscription (Pro, Team, or Enterprise) at claude.ai

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Log in to Claude AI

  1. Go to claude.ai
  2. Sign in with your Anthropic account
2

Open a Chat and Go to Connectors

  1. Open any existing chat or start a new one at claude.ai/new
  2. Click the + icon at the bottom-left of the chat input
  3. Click "Connectors" at the bottom of the menu
  4. Click "Manage connectors"

  2. Select "Add custom connector"

Enter the Serenities MCP URL

A dialog will appear asking for a name and MCP server URL.

  1. Name: Enter any name (e.g. Serenities AI)
  2. Remote MCP server URL: Paste the following URL:
https://app.serenitiesai.com/api/v1/mcp
  1. Click "Add"
Add custom connector dialog with Name and Remote MCP server URL fields and Add button

Connecting multiple accounts?

Claude only allows each MCP server URL to be registered once. If you need to connect multiple Serenities accounts, add a unique slug to the URL:

# Account 1 (default)

https://app.serenitiesai.com/api/v1/mcp

# Account 2

https://app.serenitiesai.com/api/v1/mcp/account2

# Account 3

https://app.serenitiesai.com/api/v1/mcp/work

The slug just makes the URL unique — authentication still happens via OAuth. Use any text you like.

You're connected!

Claude can now access all your Serenities AI tools. Try asking Claude to create a database, build an app, or run a flow.

What You Can Do Now

With Serenities connected to Claude, try asking Claude things like:

"Create a customer database with name, email, and plan fields"

"Build me a landing page for my SaaS product"

"Create a flow that sends an email when a new row is added"

"Show me all my site projects"

Troubleshooting

Connector not showing up after adding

Refresh the Manage Connectors page. If it still doesn't appear, try adding it again — make sure the URL is exactly https://app.serenitiesai.com/api/v1/mcp

OAuth authorization page doesn't open

Check that pop-ups are not blocked in your browser. The authorization page opens in a new window. Allow pop-ups for claude.ai and try again.

"URL already registered" error

Claude only allows each MCP URL once. If you already added this URL, find the existing connector in your list. To connect a second account, add a unique slug like /api/v1/mcp/myname

Claude doesn't seem to use the connector

Make sure you toggled the connector on in the chat. Click + → Connectors and check that the toggle is blue/enabled. You need to enable it for each new chat.

Security & Privacy

  • The connection uses OAuth 2.0 — Claude never sees your Serenities password
  • You can revoke access anytime from the Manage Connectors page
  • Claude only accesses your Serenities data when you explicitly ask it to
  • All communication between Claude and Serenities is encrypted (HTTPS)
