Your business in Claude

Claude connects to remote MCP servers as custom connectors, on every plan. It is the quickest way to try your inbox from both sides.

  • A customer's Claude books with you

    Your inbox's public MCP server, at /mcp, lets any assistant see your services and free times, book, ask for a quote, order, and answer what you propose. No sign-in. Each request lands as a booking, quote request, order or message, and your rules answer it.

  • Your own Claude runs your inbox

    The owner MCP server, at /mcp/owner, shows what needs a person, tells an item's whole story, replies to customers, moves items on and edits your services and hours. OAuth 2.1 with a Client ID Metadata Document: Claude identifies itself, so nothing needs registering. An owner API key works too, in Claude Code.

Add it in Claude

  1. In Claude, go to Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector.
  2. Paste https://inbox.yourdomain.com/mcp/owner to run your inbox, or /mcp for the customer's side.
  3. Claude sends you to your inbox to sign in and approve its scopes, then connects.

Plans. Custom connectors are on every Claude plan.

Checked 30 September 2026 against Anthropic Help Center. Your inbox speaks every MCP revision from March 2025 to the current one (2026-07-28), so older and newer clients both connect.

Being found

A customer's assistant has to know where you are. Put your inbox's address on your website and in your profiles, and join the Surfing Dog network: a directory assistants search through their own MCP connector, https://network.surfingdog.ai/mcp, which answers with verified businesses near a place or by what they do.

People with no assistant get your page at the same address: book a time, ask for a quote, send a message.

Try it first

Point Claude at the demo bike workshop and ask for a booking: surfingdog.ai/try. When it works, install your own inbox with one line to your AI, and see Connect your AI for every tool the owner server gives it.
