Usage with Claude

The StrideHQ MCP server address is:

https://app.stridehq.ai/api/mcp

Custom connectors are available on all Claude plans. The Free plan allows one custom connector.

On Free, Pro and Max:

1. In Claude, open Settings > Connectors (or Customize > Connectors).
2. Select + Add, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it "StrideHQ", paste the server address and continue.
4. Leave the detected settings as they are: Sign in now under Authentication, and Use Claude's published identity under OAuth client. Don't add any request headers.
5. Select Add. StrideHQ appears in your connectors, waiting for you to sign in.
6. Select Connect. The StrideHQ sign-in page opens.
7. Sign in with your StrideHQ login.
8. On Connect an AI client, check the organisation. If you belong to more than one, choose which one to connect.
9. Approve access. You're returned to Claude, which shows "Connected to StrideHQ".

On Team and Enterprise:

An Owner adds the connector once for everyone:

1. Open Organization settings > Connectors.
2. Select Add, hover over Custom and select Web.
3. Name it "StrideHQ", paste the server address and continue.
4. Leave the detected sign-in settings and OAuth client as they are, and don't add any request headers.
5. Select Add.

On Team, only Owners and Primary Owners can add connectors. On Enterprise, people with a custom role that includes Manage access to Libraries can too.

Each person then opens Settings > Connectors, selects Connect on StrideHQ and signs in with their own StrideHQ login.

Never paste a StrideHQ API key into request headers. The connector signs each person in with their own login.
