# Connect to Claude & ChatGPT

> Use Every's tools directly inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other AI assistants over MCP

## Overview

Every works inside the AI tools you already use. Connect your account to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io)-compatible assistant and you get full access to your clients, invoices, proposals, bookings, expenses, and more — without leaving the conversation.

This means the AI assistant you're already using becomes an AI assistant that knows your business.

<Note>
  Every exposes its tools over the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, an open standard for connecting AI assistants to live data and actions. Any MCP-compatible client can connect.
</Note>

### Two MCP connectors

Every runs **two** MCP servers for two different audiences:

| Connector      | Who it's for             | URL                          | What it does                                                                                                                                                                          |
| -------------- | ------------------------ | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Admin MCP**  | You (the business owner) | `https://admin-mcp.every.ai` | Your full Every toolset — create/send invoices, manage clients and contacts, proposals, payments, expenses, bookings, and ask the Every Assistant — from inside your own AI assistant |
| **Client MCP** | Your customers           | Provided per-business        | A scoped set of booking and self-service tools your clients can use to check availability, book, view their invoices and proposals, and pay — without an Every account                |

Most of this page covers the **Admin MCP** (connecting your own AI assistant). See [Client MCP](#client-mcp-tools-for-your-customers) at the end for the customer-facing connector.

## AI Apps

### Claude Desktop

1. Open Claude Desktop → **Settings** → **Developer** → **Edit Config**
2. Add `mcpServers` inside the existing JSON (as a sibling to `preferences`, not a separate block):

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "preferences": {
    ...
  },
  "mcpServers": {
    "every-ai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://admin-mcp.every.ai/"]
    }
  }
}
```

3. Save and restart Claude Desktop
4. A browser window opens — sign in with your Every AI account
5. Look for the hammer icon (🔨) — your Every AI tools are ready

<Note>
  Requires [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) installed. Claude Desktop doesn't support remote servers directly, so `mcp-remote` acts as a bridge.
</Note>

### Claude CoWork

1. Go to [claude.ai/settings/connectors](https://claude.ai/settings/connectors)
2. Click **Add Connector** → set the URL to `https://admin-mcp.every.ai/`
3. Authenticate with your Every AI account
4. CoWork will now have access to your Every workspace

## Developer Tools

### ChatGPT (Pro)

<Note>
  Requires a ChatGPT **Pro** or **Enterprise** plan with Developer mode enabled.
</Note>

1. Open ChatGPT → **Settings** → **Apps** → **Advanced settings**
2. Turn on **Developer mode**
3. Go back to **Apps** → click **Add more**
4. Paste this URL:

```
https://admin-mcp.every.ai
```

5. Click **Add** → **Connect** → sign in with your Every AI account
6. Start a new chat and type `@Every AI` followed by your request

### Claude Code

Add to your project's `.mcp.json`:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "every-ai": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://admin-mcp.every.ai/"
    }
  }
}
```

Then run `/mcp` and click **Authenticate**.

### Codex

Add to your project's `.mcp.json`:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "every-ai": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://admin-mcp.every.ai/"
    }
  }
}
```

Authenticate when prompted on first use.

### Cursor

1. Open **Settings** (⌘ + ,) → **MCP Servers** → **+ Add Server**
2. Set:
   * **Name:** `Every AI`
   * **Type:** `HTTP`
   * **URL:** `https://admin-mcp.every.ai/`
3. Click **Save** and authenticate when prompted

<Note>
  Cursor requires **Agent Mode** (not Ask Mode) to access MCP tools.
</Note>

### Other MCP Clients

For any MCP-compatible client:

* **URL:** `https://admin-mcp.every.ai/`
* **Transport:** HTTP (Streamable HTTP)
* **Auth:** OAuth 2.0 (prompted on first use)

## Earn +2,500 credits by connecting Google

If you signed up to Every **through an MCP connection** (for example, you started using Every from inside ChatGPT or Claude rather than the web app), you can earn a one-time **+2,500 credit bonus** by connecting your Google account.

<Card title="Connect Google" icon="google" href="/integrations/google-workspace">
  Connect Gmail so Every can scan your network, draft outreach, and send on your behalf
</Card>

**How to claim:**

1. Connect your Google account with the Gmail permission from [**Agent Settings → Connections**](https://every.ai/agent/connections) (or follow the in-app banner)
2. The bonus is granted automatically, **once per organization**, the first time you connect Google with Gmail access

<Note>
  This bonus is for orgs that originally signed up via MCP. Connecting Google also unlocks contact scanning, AI prospecting, and sending email through your own Gmail. See the [Google Workspace integration](/integrations/google-workspace) for the full setup.
</Note>

## What You Can Do

Once connected, your AI assistant has direct access to your Every workspace. Ask it anything you'd normally do inside Every:

| Task              | Example                                                      |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Create an invoice | "Make an invoice for Brandon Chu, \$300 for design services" |
| Send an invoice   | "Send invoice INV-001"                                       |
| Find a client     | "Find client Acme"                                           |
| Check payments    | "Show payments for this month"                               |
| Record a payment  | "Record \$500 cash payment for INV-001"                      |
| Track expenses    | "Add a \$150 expense at AWS for Software"                    |
| Create a proposal | "Create a proposal for Acme, \$5000 website redesign"        |
| Manage proposals  | "Send the Acme proposal" / "Convert it to an invoice"        |
| View bookings     | "Show my upcoming bookings"                                  |
| Business insights | "What's my total revenue this quarter?"                      |
| Ask the Assistant | "Which clients haven't paid in 60 days?"                     |

### Available Tools

The Admin MCP exposes **40 tools** to your AI assistant, covering your full Every workspace:

| Category                                     | Tools                                                                                                            |

| [Bookings](/scheduling/bookings)             | List, view                                                                                                       |

<Tip>
  Taxes are applied automatically based on your business settings. No need to calculate them manually.

## How This Extends Every Agent

The [Every Agent](/ai/every-agent) inside the app and these external AI connections share the same tools and data. The difference is where you work:

* **[Every Agent](/ai/every-agent)** — purpose-built assistant inside the Every app, with full access to your [Memory & Skills](/ai/memory-and-skills) and business context
* **Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.** — bring Every's capabilities into the AI tools you already use for other work

Use whichever fits your workflow. Both operate on the same live data.

## Client MCP — tools for your customers

Alongside the Admin MCP for your own assistant, Every runs a separate **Client MCP** designed for your **customers**. It exposes a scoped, customer-safe set of tools — no Every account required — so your clients can self-serve from their own AI assistant:

| Category  | Client tools                                                                    |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Services  | List services, view a service                                                   |
| Bookings  | Check availability, estimate price, request a booking, view, cancel, reschedule |
| Invoices  | View their invoices, get a payment link                                         |
| Proposals | View and approve proposals                                                      |

The Client MCP is **read-scoped and redacted** — it never exposes another customer's data or your internal fields, and it resolves to your specific business. If you'd like to offer this to your clients, contact [hello@every.ai](mailto:hello@every.ai).

## Security

* **OAuth 2.0** authentication — your credentials are never stored locally
* **Organization-scoped** — you can only access your own business data
* **Stateless** — no data cached between requests
* **Client MCP** is additionally redacted and scoped to a single business

### Revoking Access

Disconnect the MCP from your AI assistant's settings at any time. This immediately revokes access to your business data.

## Troubleshooting

**Can't connect?**
Make sure you have an Every AI account at [app.every.ai](https://app.every.ai).

**Tools not showing?**
Disconnect and reconnect the MCP server. Some clients cache tool definitions.

**Wrong data?**
Make sure you're signed into the correct Every AI account and organization.
