# Connect Claude

> Add the connector in Claude — one URL, one paste, one Authorize.

Claude connects through a browser sign-in, so there is no config file to edit. You give Claude a
URL; it opens a Notifylyst page where you paste the token once.

Works the same in Claude web, desktop and mobile.

**1. Add the custom connector**

In Claude: **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**, then paste your connector URL.

```
https://notifylyst-mcp.cblyst.com/mcp?shop=your-store.myshopify.com
```

> [!NOTE]
>
> **Copy the real URL from the app.** The **Connector URL** field on **Settings → Developers → AI
> connectors (MCP)** has it with your store filled in. The URL must end in `/mcp`. The `?shop=` part
> only tells two stores' connectors apart — the store always comes from the token you paste next.

**2. Paste your token**

Press **Connect**. A browser page titled **Connect to Notifylyst** opens. It says Claude wants to
connect and asks for a token to choose which store and which tools it gets.

Paste the `nl_mcp_…` token from [Create an access token](https://codebeans-cb-notifylyst.mintlify.site/mcp/setup/access-tokens.md) into **MCP
access token** and press **Continue**. This is the only time you handle it.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The help text on this page still says "Settings → MCP Integration". That is the same place as
> **Settings → Developers → AI connectors (MCP)**.

If the token can't be used, the page tells you why — expired, disabled, the connector switched off
for the store, or not recognised. See [Error codes](https://codebeans-cb-notifylyst.mintlify.site/mcp/reference/errors.md#on-the-connect-page).

**3. Authorize access**

The next page, **Authorize access**, shows:

* the store the token belongs to — **check it is the right one**;
* the token's name and its expiry, or "no expiry";
* **Read access** and **Write access**, listing the tools the token allows. A read-only token shows
  "None — this is a read-only token." under write access.

Authorizing grants exactly what the token already allows — it never widens it. Press **Authorize**
(or **Deny** to stop).

**4. Back in Claude**

**Authorize** sends you straight back to Claude, which shows the Notifylyst connector as connected,
with the tools your token allows.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Authorizing doesn't check your plan. On a plan without **AI MCP Integration** you can connect, but
> every call is refused with `MCP_PLAN_DISABLED`.

## Verify it works

Start a new chat and ask for something that needs one read tool:

```
Give me my Notifylyst shop overview.
```

You should get store details, plan, active channels and wallet balance.

Then try a real question:

```
Which products are people waiting for that I already have stock of somewhere?
```

![Screenshot to add — images/b6-first-question.png: the first working answer in the chat — a shop overview returned by the connector.](https://mintcdn.com/codebeans-cb-notifylyst/9nOO5K-JDyu4jS3x/images/b6-first-question.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=9nOO5K-JDyu4jS3x\&q=85\&s=5e348b9b38224abbfaf979c763c4efb1)

## Reconnecting later

Claude uses your token directly, and there is no separate renewal. When a token expires, or you
revoke or regenerate it, the connector stops working: [create a new token](https://codebeans-cb-notifylyst.mintlify.site/mcp/setup/access-tokens.md)
(or use the regenerated one) and connect again the same way.

If Claude reports an error instead of an answer, [Troubleshooting](https://codebeans-cb-notifylyst.mintlify.site/mcp/troubleshooting.md) maps each
one to its cause.
