Connecting Claude
This is the easiest connection, and the only one that follows you to your phone. Claude needs no special settings and no codes to copy.
Before you start
- The AI Connections add-on on the store.
- Owner, organization admin, or a role with AI Connections → Connect.
Steps
Copy your store's link
In the Fuze Store app open Configurations → MCP → Connect an assistant and copy the MCP Server URL. It looks like https://api.fuze-store.com/mcp/store/<your-store-id>. It is unique to one store, so there is no store picker on the approval screen.

Open your connector settings
Click your name at the bottom left of Claude, then Settings, then Connectors under the Customize heading.

Add a custom connector
Click Add at the top right of the Connectors panel and choose Add custom connector. (Browse connectors is Anthropic's ready-made list, and your store is not in it.)

Fill in two boxes
Name: your store name works well. Remote MCP server URL: paste your link. Leave Advanced settings alone, since the OAuth Client ID and Secret are optional. Click Add.

Click Connect
Claude shows "You are not connected to [your store] yet". Click Connect. Adding and connecting are two steps, and without the second Claude says the connector has no tools.

Sign in and approve
Log in to Fuze Store if asked, untick anything you would rather not share, and click Approve. Claude confirms "Connected to [your store]".

Just ask
Start a new chat. The first time Claude uses your store it asks Allow once, Always allow or Deny.

What happens next
- The assistant appears under Active connections on Configurations → MCP, with its name, who connected it, the permissions granted and when its key expires. Start asking questions about your store.
Edge cases
- Any Claude plan works. On the free plan you can have one custom connection, so remove a different one first. Paid plans allow several.
- Tool permissions. Open the connector again from Settings → Connectors. Each action can be always allow, ask first or never. Leave anything that writes, such as an import, on ask first.
- Team and Enterprise. Members cannot add a custom connector. An Owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors, then everyone finds it under their own Settings → Connectors with a Custom label and clicks Connect.
- On your phone. Add it on a computer first, then sign in to the Claude app on iOS or Android and it is there.
- Cannot find Add custom connector. Use the Add button at the top right. No tools available means you did not finish Connect. Claude answers from memory: name the store, or check it is still connected.
- First questions. What were yesterday's sales? Show the top 5 products this week. Compare this month's revenue to last month.
- Sign-in problems. The usual causes are not being signed in to Fuze Store in the browser, the AI Connections add-on being off, or pasting the link for a different store. See Setting Up AI Access.
- Your role limits what you can grant. You can only give permissions your own role holds. A role without AI Connections → Connect is refused at sign-in.
- No client ID is needed for tools that register themselves from the link alone.
