On claude.ai and Claude Desktop, add Kolvera as a custom connector. Claude registers itself automatically — you just sign in to Kolvera once to authorise. No API token, no config file.

https://mcp.kolvera.io/mcp
  1. Open Settings → Connectors in Claude
  2. Click Add custom connector and paste the URL above
  3. Sign in to Kolvera and Authorise — Kolvera's tools appear in Claude

Using Claude Code, Cursor or Windsurf? Those use a token — follow the token setup below.

Token setup (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf)

For clients that don't yet support one-click connectors, authenticate with an API token.

Step 1: Create an API Token

  1. Log in to Kolvera → Settings → API Tokens
  2. Click Create Token and give it a name (e.g. "Claude")
  3. Copy the kv_... token — you'll only see it once
Your API token uses the same credits as the dashboard. Enrichment, research, and campaigns are charged at standard rates.

Step 2a: Claude Desktop (Mac & Windows)

  1. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config
  2. Add Kolvera to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kolvera": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.kolvera.io/mcp?token=YOUR_KV_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. Replace YOUR_KV_TOKEN with the kv_... token from Step 1
  2. Restart Claude Desktop
  3. You should see Kolvera tools available in the tools menu
Requires: Node.js (any recent version). The npx mcp-remote bridge handles the connection — no other installation needed.

Step 2b: Claude Code (CLI / VS Code / JetBrains)

  1. Create a .mcp.json file in your project root (or home directory):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kolvera": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.kolvera.io/mcp?token=YOUR_KV_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. In Claude Code, run /mcp to connect
  2. Kolvera tools will appear in your tool list

Step 2c: claude.ai (Web)

On claude.ai you don't need an API token — add Kolvera as a custom connector and authorise with a single Kolvera sign-in (see the one-click method at the top of this page).

  1. Open Settings → Connectors in claude.ai
  2. Click Add custom connector
  3. Paste the connector URL and continue:
https://mcp.kolvera.io/mcp
  1. Sign in to Kolvera and Authorise the scopes — done
claude.ai Connectors settings — Add custom connector
1. In claude.ai → Settings → Connectors, click + → Add custom connector.
Add custom connector dialog with Kolvera and the MCP URL
2. Name it Kolvera, paste https://mcp.kolvera.io/mcp, and click Add.
Kolvera consent screen — Authorise Claude
3. Sign in to Kolvera and click Authorise — Claude can now use your tools.

FAQ

Does MCP access cost extra?

No. MCP access is included on all plans, including the free trial. You use your existing Kolvera credits — enrichment, research, and campaigns are charged at standard rates (2cr email, 6cr phone, 3cr research).

Which Claude plans support MCP?

Claude Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans support MCP integrations. Claude Desktop and Claude Code are available on all paid plans.

Is my data secure?

Yes. The MCP server uses token-based authentication. Each request is authenticated and isolated to your tenant. No data is shared between accounts. The server runs in Sydney (ap-southeast-2) alongside your Kolvera data.

What if the connection drops?

In Claude Code, run /mcp to reconnect. In Claude Desktop, restart the app. Connections can drop during server updates (usually <30 seconds).

Can I use Kolvera MCP with other AI tools?

Yes. The MCP server uses the open Model Context Protocol standard. It works with any MCP-compatible client including Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and custom applications.
