# Connect Claude

Configure Claude to use MARqentic’s remote marketing research tools.

## Set up the connection

Use this deployment’s remote MCP endpoint. Cloud-hosted clients need a publicly reachable HTTPS address; a localhost preview is only reachable by clients running on your machine.

1. Open Claude settings and find Connectors. Choose the option to add a custom connector.
2. Name the connector MARqentic and enter the remote MCP URL below.
3. Connect and complete the MARqentic authorization in your browser. Review the workspace and permissions before approving.
4. Enable the connector in your conversation and ask for a research estimate.

## Check the connection

Ask the assistant to list its MARqentic tools, then estimate a small research request with dry_run: true where supported. The result should include cost metadata. Paid execution needs sufficient credits in the approved workspace.

Missing tools may mean a category is disabled or the client has an older cached tool list. Refresh discovery before reconnecting.
