Claude.ai web interface supports direct MCP server connections. You’ll need a Claude Pro or Team plan to access MCP connectors.

Prerequisites

Claude Pro/Team Plan

MCP connectors require a paid Claude subscription

Civic Account

Create a free account on app.civic.com

Step 1: Set Up Your Civic Account

If you haven’t already, create your account and select your tools at app.civic.com:
1

Create a free Civic account

Go to app.civic.com and sign in with Google, GitHub, or email.
2

Select your MCP servers

During onboarding, choose which services you want your AI to access — GitHub, Slack, Google Workspace, Dropbox, and more. This creates your default toolkit.
3

Get your MCP URL

Your connection URL is the same for every Civic account:
https://app.civic.com/hub/mcp
The URL is not personalized — what makes it yours is authentication. When you connect your client and complete the OAuth flow, Civic links that session to your account and toolkit.
The MCP URL (https://app.civic.com/hub/mcp) is the same for every Civic user. What makes it yours is authentication — when you click Connect in Claude.ai, a browser window opens to app.civic.com and links that session to your account and toolkit.
