Use this guide to connect Claude to the Upflow MCP server. Once connected, Claude can query data across every Upflow organization you have access to.
Before you start, make sure an admin has enabled the MCP Server for your organization in Upflow. See Connect Upflow to your AI client for details.

Which path applies to you?

The Claude setup depends on your Claude plan:
  • Claude Free, Pro, or Max — you can add Upflow as a custom connector yourself. Follow Path A: Personal Claude plan.
  • Claude Team or Enterprise — only your organization’s Owner can add a custom connector at the org level. Once they have, you can authorize Upflow from your own Claude account. Follow Path B: Team or Enterprise Claude plan.
If you’re on Claude Team or Enterprise and can’t find Add custom connector in your settings, that’s expected — your Claude Owner / IT admin needs to add the connector first. Share the steps in Path B with them.

  2. Click Add, hover over Custom, then select Web.
