Claude can work in your Prior account once you add Prior as a custom connector. The connector is on your Claude account, so it appears in Claude on the web, in the desktop app and on your phone. It works on the Free, Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans of Claude. On Claude's Free plan you can have one custom connector.

## Add it in one click

Server address: https://api.priortasks.com/mcp

1. Click **Add to Claude**. Claude opens its **Add custom connector** dialog with the name **Prior** and Prior's address already filled in. It warns you that the values came from an external link: check them and confirm.
2. If the dialog asks about authentication, choose **Sign in now**. If it asks how Claude identifies itself, keep **Use Claude's published identity**: **Register automatically** works too. You do not need your own OAuth client or a secret.
3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**.
4. Your browser opens Prior. Sign in with your Prior account if you are not already, check the name of the app, and click **Allow**.
5. Go back to Claude. Prior is connected.

If you prefer to type it, go to **Customize → Connectors**, click **Add custom connector**, enter `Prior` as the name and `https://api.priortasks.com/mcp` as the address, and continue from step 2.

## On a Team or Enterprise plan

An Owner of your Claude organization adds the connector once, in **Organization settings → Connectors**: **Add**, then **Custom**, then the address above. Each member then opens **Customize → Connectors**, finds Prior with the **Custom** label and clicks **Connect**. Each member signs in with their own Prior account, so everyone works in their own data.

## Use it

Start a conversation and ask: "What is on my plate today?" Claude shows the Prior tools it uses and asks before it runs them, depending on its permission settings.

- In a conversation, click **+** and choose **Connectors** to turn Prior on or off for that conversation.
- Under **Customize → Connectors**, open Prior to set the permission of each tool, including **Blocked**. Block the tools you never want, for example the ones that delete.
- Claude's documentation says to click **Always allow** only for servers you trust. For Prior, keep asking on anything that deletes or reaches other people.

For ideas, see [Recipes](https://priortasks.com/docs/integrations/mcp-recipes/). The list of what Claude can reach is in [Every tool and prompt](https://priortasks.com/docs/integrations/mcp-tools/).

## Good to know

- **Claude calls it Custom.** That label is what Claude gives any connector that is not in its own directory, and Anthropic has not reviewed it. Prior's safety rests on your sign-in and your permissions: see [Keep your connection safe](https://priortasks.com/docs/integrations/mcp-security/).
- **The connection is yours.** It appears in **Settings → Integrations** under Claude's name, with a **Revoke** button. Remove the connector in Claude to stop using it, and click **Revoke** in Prior to cancel its access.
- **It acts with your rights.** Claude can do what you can do in Prior, no more, with your role in each shared project.
- **Claude's documentation** has the latest screens: [Add a connector that isn't in the directory](https://claude.com/docs/connectors/custom/add-unlisted).
