MCP Setup Guide
Claude.ai Web
Connect SoftSignal directly inside Claude.ai — no app to install, works in any browser.

Before you start

You'll need a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise) and your SoftSignal subscriber email. Custom connectors aren't available on Claude's free tier.

Steps

1
Open connector settings

In Claude.ai, go to Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.

2
Enter the SoftSignal server URL

Name it SoftSignal and paste this URL:

https://chat.getsoftsignal.com/sse

Leave any optional client ID / secret fields blank — the connector registers itself automatically.

3
Sign in when prompted

Click Connect. A SoftSignal sign-in page opens — enter your subscriber email and we'll send a one-click sign-in link. No password needed.

4
Confirm and start asking

Once connected, SoftSignal appears in your connectors. Enable it in a chat and try: "What is managed money positioning in cotton right now?"

Tip: if Claude answers from general knowledge instead of live data, ask it explicitly to "use the SoftSignal tools" — browser clients sometimes reach for their own memory before calling a connector.

Troubleshooting

Sign-in link not arriving? Check your spam folder. The email comes from Firebase / [email protected].
Subscription not found? The email you enter must match your SoftSignal subscriber email exactly. Contact [email protected] if you're unsure which email is on file.
Prefer a desktop app? The same connector works in Claude Desktop — see the Claude Desktop guide.
