What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a technology that allows different software applications to share information with AI assistants and chatbots. Think of it as a bridge that lets your AI tools access data from various apps you use. For example, instead of manually copying information from Claap into AI assistants such as Claude.ai, MCP allows these assistants to directly retrieve your meeting recordings, contacts, and company data from Claap when you ask questions. This makes your AI interactions more powerful and saves you time by eliminating the need to switch between different applications.
How Claap's MCP Server Works
Claap provides an MCP server that allows you to connect your favorite AI-powered software directly to your Claap workspace data. This means you can ask questions about your meetings, contacts, companies, and deals using any third-party application that supports MCP, and get answers based on your actual Claap data.
Getting Started with Claap's MCP Server
Step 1: Configure Your Third-Party Software
To use Claap's MCP server, you'll need to configure your chosen third-party application (such as an AI assistant or automation tool) to connect to Claap's MCP server endpoint:
➡️ Server URL: https://api.claap.io/mcp
Step 2: Authenticate Your Access
Once your tool is configured to point to Claap's MCP server, you'll be prompted to authenticate yourself through OAuth. This security step ensures that:
Only authorized users can access your Claap data
You have the appropriate permissions within your Claap workspace
Your data remains secure and private
The authentication process will verify your access rights to search for recordings, companies, contacts, deals, and other data within your Claap workspace.
Step 3: Wait for your application to detect and install the available Claap MCP tools
After authentication, it may take a few seconds or minutes for the Claap MCP tools to be automatically installed and available in your third-party app. Once they are, your application will usually list them with a success indicator:
Step 4: Ask about Claap data in your third-party application
Once the configuration is successful and the MCP tools are installed, you will be able to ask questions about your Claap data within your third-party software, and it will automatically detect and decide which are the relevant Claap MCP Tools to use depending on what you are asking.

OpenAI cannot connect to Claap's MCP Server
Unfortunately OpenAI currently has some specific requirements for MCP Servers to work with their platform, which are not part of the common MCP Specification that Claap's MCP Server implements. At the moment it is therefore not possible to use Claap's MCP Server with OpenAI.
Search Results Not Found
Verify you're searching in the correct workspace
Try broader search terms or partial matches
Check that the data you're looking for exists in your Claap workspace
Connection Issues
Confirm the MCP server URL is entered correctly:
https://api.claap.io/mcpCheck your internet connection
Verify your third-party tool supports MCP protocol
