Connect Claude

Add Rise to Claude as a custom connector and you can ask about your reporting data in any conversation. Works on claude.ai and Claude Desktop.

Before you start​

  • A Claude plan that supports custom connectors — Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise. On Team and Enterprise, a Primary Owner or admin may need to allow custom connectors (or add Rise as an organization connector) before you can add your own.
  • A Rise account with reporting access.
  • The Rise server URL: https://mcp.risepeople.com/mcp

Anthropic's UI changes from time to time. If a menu label below doesn't match what you see, follow Anthropic's custom connector help; the only values that don't change are the server URL and that authentication is OAuth.

Add the connector​

  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors (Team/Enterprise admins manage org-wide connectors under the organization's Settings → Connectors).
  2. Click Add custom connector.
  3. Fill in:
    • Name: Rise
    • Remote MCP server URL: https://mcp.risepeople.com/mcp
  4. Click Add. Claude discovers Rise's OAuth configuration from the URL.

Sign in to Rise​

  1. Claude shows the new connector with a Connect button. Click it.

  2. A Rise sign-in window opens. Log in to your Rise account.

  3. Review the requested access and approve. For read-only use, reports:read is enough; approve reports:write too if you want Claude to save reports for you.

    If Claude asks for a Client ID / Client Secret instead of opening a sign-in page, your connector needs a registered OAuth app — create one with redirect URI as shown by Claude, then paste the credentials and continue.

  4. The window closes and the connector shows as Connected.

Use it​

In a new chat, open the tools/attachments menu (the search-and-tools or + control), make sure Rise is enabled, and ask away:

What's our current headcount, and how does it break down by department?

Claude will call Rise, read the data, and answer in plain language. Try the prompts on What you can ask.

Troubleshooting​

SymptomFix
"Add custom connector" is missingYour plan or org settings don't allow custom connectors yet. On Team/Enterprise, ask an admin to enable them.
Sign-in succeeds but no data / "no reports"Your Rise account may not be enabled for the connector yet. Email developers@risepeople.com.
Claude asks for a client ID/secretRegister an OAuth application and paste its credentials.
Worked yesterday, now failingThe token likely expired and re-auth didn't trigger. Remove and re-add the connector, then reconnect.
"Insufficient scope" when saving a reportYou approved reports:read only. Reconnect and also approve reports:write. See insufficient-scope.

Remove it​

Settings → Connectors → Rise → Disconnect / Remove. That revokes Claude's access; you can also revoke the token from your Rise account.
