Using Claude with Hologrow

Use Hologrow with Claude on the web, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code CLI. Claude web and Desktop share the same connector setup. Claude Code uses a separate terminal command.

​
Prerequisites

  • At least one data source connected in Integrations and syncing in Data Explorer
  • Access to Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, or Claude Code)
  • Permission to add connectors in your Claude workspace (Team/Enterprise often require an Owner)
  • For Claude Code MCP: an MCP key from AI Platforms

​
Claude web and Desktop

The steps below are the same in the Claude web app and Claude Desktop.

​
Step 1: Add a custom connector

Open Claude on the web or desktop. Go to Settings → Customize → Connectors, open Discover, then search for hologrow. Search for Hologrow in the Claude connector directory

​
Step 2: Connect Hologrow MCP

Find mcp.hologrow.ai in the results and click the + icon to connect Hologrow MCP. Click the plus icon to connect Hologrow MCP

​
Step 3: Connect and authorize Hologrow

After you add the connector, Claude directs you to the Hologrow authorization page. Sign in and click Allow access. Allow Claude to access Hologrow

​
Installation complete: Start using Hologrow

Start a new conversation, then paste and send the message below. If Claude returns your connected data platforms, the connection is working.

​

​
Troubleshooting

​
I don’t see Connectors or Add custom connector

  • Your Claude plan or workspace permissions may restrict custom connectors.
  • On Team/Enterprise, ask an Owner to add Hologrow first.

​
Sign-in or approval keeps looping

  • Allow pop-ups for claude.ai and Hologrow.
  • Retry in a private window to rule out extension issues.

​
Auth errors after connecting

  • Remove and reconnect Hologrow from Claude’s Connectors settings.
  • For Claude Code, confirm the MCP key is active and not revoked.

​
Security

  • Hologrow is read-only and never posts on your behalf.
  • Access follows the Hologrow user who approved the connection.
  • Revoke OAuth sessions or rotate MCP keys from AI Platforms anytime.
