# Claude.ai

> Connect Tyms MCP to Claude on the web so you can ask about your books in chat.

Use Claude.ai when you want to work with Tyms from a browser chat.

## Before you start

Decide which URL to use:

| Access | URL |
| - | - |
| Read-only (recommended to start) | `https://mcp.tyms.io` |
| Read + write | `https://mcp.tyms.io/full` |

If Claude asks for a **Client ID**, enter:

```text theme={null}
usetyms-mcp-claude
```

## Steps

**1. Open connectors**

In Claude.ai, go to **Settings → Connectors**.

**2. Add a custom connector**

Click **Add custom connector**.

**3. Enter Tyms details**

* **Name:** `Tyms` (or `Tyms Full` if you are using write access)
* **URL:** `https://mcp.tyms.io` for read-only, or `https://mcp.tyms.io/full` for read + write

**4. Enter the Client ID if asked**

Enter exactly: `usetyms-mcp-claude`

**5. Add and authorize**

Click **Add**, then complete the Tyms OAuth login and approve the business you want Claude to use.

**6. Enable Tyms in a chat**

In a chat, open the attachments / tools menu and enable the Tyms connector.

## Try asking

> Show me unpaid invoices from last month and summarize cash on hand.

More ideas: [Example prompts](https://developer.tyms.io/mcp/example-prompts.md).

## Tips

* Prefer **read-only** until you are comfortable with what Claude can see and do.
* Keep confirmation prompts on before approving writes on `/full`.
* Using Claude on your computer instead? See [Claude Desktop](https://developer.tyms.io/mcp/clients/claude-desktop.md).
