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 Desktop or claude.ai, open Settings → Connectors. On claude.ai you can also reach it via claude.com/connectors.

Step 2 — Add the Melba connector

Click Add connector and paste the URL https://mcp.melba.io. Name it Melba.

Step 3 — Start the connection

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

Step 4 — Approve the scopes

Sign into Melba if needed, then approve the requested scopes (read recipes, write stocks…). You can untick any scope you'd rather not grant, and revoke access at any time 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.
