Claude and the MCP connector

You already spend part of your day in Claude, and your project data lives in Plankwork. With the connector, Claude works on your boards from where you already are: ask what needs your attention, get an answer about a project, or have it make a change, without opening Plankwork. Claude acts as you, so it reads only what you can read and changes only what you could change by hand.

The connector covers:

  • Connecting Claude on the web, on the desktop or in the terminal, and any other AI app that speaks the same standard, with one sign-in.
  • Choosing which board a request works on.
  • Approving changes in Claude before they are made.
  • Seeing, afterwards, what Claude changed.
  • Disconnecting an app, and an organisation-wide switch to turn AI apps off.

The full chapter, with every step and setting, is in the app: open your account menu and select User manual.
