Connect your Melba account to Claude (Claude Desktop or claude.ai) to drive your recipes, stocks, production and invoices in natural language. The connection relies on the MCP protocol (Model Context Protocol): no API key to copy-paste, and you keep full control over the scopes granted to Claude. It takes about two minutes.

Step 1 — Open Connectors in Claude

In Claude, open Settings → Customize, then Connectors (Anthropic recently moved connectors into the Customize area — you can also pick Connect your apps). On claude.ai you can reach it via claude.com/connectors.

Step 2 — Add the Melba connector

Click Add custom connector, name it Melba, and paste this server URL:

Make sure the URL ends with /mcp. Leave the Advanced settings (OAuth Client ID / Secret) empty — Melba registers your client automatically.

Step 3 — Start the connection

Click Connect. Claude opens an OAuth window that redirects you to Melba.

Step 4 — Approve the permissions

Sign into Melba if needed, then approve the requested permissions (read recipes, write stocks…). We recommend granting all of them so Claude can work end-to-end without interrupting you. Every permission is listed transparently, and you can revoke access at any time from your Melba account.

Grant every permission for a smooth experience

Claude asks for confirmation often, and it re-requests access whenever a tool needs a permission you didn't grant. To avoid those interruptions, approve the full set of permissions when you connect Melba — it lets Claude read and write across recipes, stocks, production and invoices in one go. Nothing is hidden: every scope is shown on the consent screen, and you stay in control — revoke access anytime from your Melba account.

Step 5 — First prompt

Back in Claude, try: "List my last 5 recipes" or "What's my average margin right now?". Claude calls Melba in the background and answers.

Working across several organizations

The connector operates on the Melba organization that was active when you authorized. To work in another of your organizations, just ask Claude to switch organization — every following action then applies to that organization for the rest of the session. You can also change your active organization in Melba and reconnect the connector.
