Connect Claude

Add Parade to Claude once and it's available everywhere you use Claude: on the web, in the desktop app, and on mobile.

If you have your own Claude plan (Free, Pro or Max)

1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
2. Enter:
   • Name: Parade
   • URL: https://mcp.app.stage.parade.ai/mcp
3. Leave Advanced settings empty. Parade doesn't need a client ID or secret.
4. Select Add, then Connect.
5. A Parade sign-in page opens. Check that it says Claude wants read-only access and that you'll be returned to claude.ai. Then sign in with your Parade email and password.
6. You'll see You're connected, and you'll be taken back to Claude.

Free plans can add one custom connector.

If your company uses Claude Team or Enterprise

Your Claude workspace owner adds Parade once for everyone:

1. Owner: open Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web. Enter the name Parade and the URL https://mcp.app.stage.parade.ai/mcp, then select Add.
2. Everyone else: open Settings → Connectors, find Parade (marked Custom), select Connect, and sign in with your own Parade login.

Each person connects with their own login, so nobody sees data through someone else's connection.

Use it in a chat

Open the tools menu under the message box (the sliders icon) and make sure Parade is switched on. Then just ask, for example:

What are carriers bidding Chicago to Atlanta, reefer, for Friday?

Claude decides when to look things up in Parade. You'll see each lookup in the conversation.

Desktop and mobile

There's nothing extra to set up. Connectors belong to your Claude account, so once Parade is added on the web it's available in the Claude desktop and mobile apps too.
