### Prerequisites (claude.ai)

- An active Rapidi account with at least one service
- Access to Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, or Claude mobile app)
- The Rapidi MCP server URL: https://myrapidi.com/mcp

### Steps

The Rapidi MCP is not listed in the Anthropic Connectors Directory, so it must be added as a **custom connector**.

1. **Open Claude** and go to **Settings → Connectors**.
2. Scroll to the bottom and click **"Add custom connector"**.
3. Enter a name (e.g. _Rapidi MCP_) and the server URL: https://myrapidi.com/mcp
4. Click **"Add"** and follow the authentication prompts to connect your Rapidi services.
5. Once connected, **enable the connector** for a conversation via the "+" button in the lower left of the chat interface, then select **Connectors** and toggle Rapidi on.
6. **Tell the AI which service to work on** (e.g. _"Let's work on service 1362"_). The AI will scope all subsequent actions to that service.

> **Note for Team/Enterprise plans:** Only Owners can add custom connectors to the organisation. Once added, individual members can connect and enable it in their own conversations.

### **Tips**

- You can switch services mid-conversation by simply mentioning the new service ID.
- If you have multiple services, ask the AI to list them: _"List my available services"_.
- All destructive actions (delete connection, delete schedule, etc.) will prompt for confirmation before executing.
- The Rapidi MCP server must be reachable over the public internet. Connections are made from Anthropic's cloud infrastructure, not from your local machine.
