Connect LithicBlue to Claude

Claude connects to LithicBlue as a custom connector over remote MCP. This is the Claude-specific walkthrough; for the endpoint and the full list of tools, see the MCP connector reference.

Before you start

What you need

A LithicBlue account on a paid plan, and your MCP endpoint, your regional URL with /api/mcp/mcp appended (e.g. https://eu.lithicblue.com/api/mcp/mcp). See the MCP connector page for your exact URL. Custom connectors work on Claude, Claude Desktop and the mobile apps across the Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans.

Add the connector

  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors (on Team/Enterprise, an admin adds it under Organization settings → Connectors).
  2. Click Add custom connector.
  3. Enter a name (e.g. LithicBlue) and paste your remote MCP server URL (your endpoint above), then click Add.
  4. Claude opens LithicBlue's sign-in. Once you have signed in, LithicBlue shows an Approve access screen naming the connector, the host it connects back to, and what it will be able to do. Check it is Claude, then click Approve access. No OAuth client ID or secret is needed; LithicBlue registers itself automatically.
  5. Start a chat and ask Claude to list your LithicBlue projects; enable the connector from the tools menu if prompted.

Claude connects from Anthropic's cloud

Claude reaches your connector from Anthropic's infrastructure over the public internet, not from your device. LithicBlue's connector is internet-reachable, so this works out of the box, no firewall changes needed.

How to track your projects in Claude

Ask Claude to list your LithicBlue projects, then summarise scope fulfilment and the open data gaps on any project. It reads your scope analysis and data-gaps directly, so you can check where a piece of work stands without leaving the chat.

How to verify AI outputs with Claude

Ask Claude to read a deliverable's claims and tell you which are verified, contradicted or still unverified against your sources, and to author new claim highlights anchored to the exact passage. This is how you fact-check AI-generated and human-written deliverables with traceable evidence. The full tool list and example prompts are on the MCP connector page.
