Connect Claude to the Metal MCP server so Claude can work with your firm’s Metal data.

​
Prerequisites

  • An organization admin has enabled MCP (see overview).
  • A Claude plan that supports custom connectors. On Team and Enterprise plans, an admin may need to allow custom connectors first.

​
Claude web and desktop

Add Metal as a custom connector in Claude.
1

Open connector settings

In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors, then click Add custom connector.
2

Enter the Metal server

Give it a name like Metal and paste the server URL:
https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp
3

Connect and sign in

Click Add, then Connect. Claude opens a browser window to sign in with your Metal account. Approve access, and choose an organization if prompted.
4

Enable in a chat

Open the tools/connectors menu in a conversation and make sure Metal is enabled.

​
Claude Code (CLI)

Add the server with the Claude Code CLI: 
claude mcp add --transport http metal https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp
Then start Claude Code and run /mcp to complete the browser sign-in.

​
Verify

Ask Claude something that uses your data, for example:
Use Metal to find recent deals in the industrials sector and list their stages.
Claude requests permission to use the Metal tools on first use — approve it.

​
Troubleshooting

  • “Couldn’t connect” — confirm an admin enabled MCP under Settings → Organization → API & MCP Access, and that the URL is exactly https://mcp.metal.ai/mcp.
  • Connector option missing — custom connectors require a supported plan; on Team/Enterprise an admin may need to enable them.
