Understand what an MCP is

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that connects Claude to outside tools and data. In the Claude apps, MCP servers show up as connectors.

With the right MCPs, Claude can:

Read your documents and messages
Create new tasks and issues
Update records inside your tools
Pull in data for analysis
Act across several apps in one conversation

Every MCP here appears in Anthropic’s connector directory and is run by the company that makes the product.

An MCP gives Claude access. Your permissions set what it is allowed to do.

Add an MCP

Claude apps: Open Claude’s settings, go to Connectors, browse the directory, and link your account.
Claude Code: Run claude mcp add --transport http [name] [server URL], then sign in when prompted.

claude mcp add --transport http notion https://mcp.notion.com/mcp

Type /mcp in Claude Code to list connected servers. Some connector features require a paid plan of the connected service.

Use MCPs safely

Connect only the MCPs each task needs
Favor official servers run by the product’s own company
Check what every server can read, change, and delete
Have Claude confirm before any write or delete action
Never paste passwords or API keys into a chat
Disconnect any MCP you stop using

Treat anything tools return, such as emails or web pages, as data, not instructions. Take extra care with MCPs that read untrusted content and can also take actions.

Avoid MCP overload

Every MCP adds tools Claude has to choose from
Overlapping MCPs raise the odds of a wrong pick
Turn on MCPs per project or per task where possible

Five carefully chosen MCPs beat twenty connected just in case.

Try these prompts

“Summarize my unread Gmail and draft replies to the urgent emails. Do not send anything.”
“Turn this meeting transcript into Linear issues, one per action item.”
“Find the checkout frame in Figma and build it as a React component.”
“Show last month’s Stripe revenue by product, in a table.”
“List Sentry issues from the last 24 hours, grouped by root cause.”
“Add today’s progress to the Notion launch page.”

The golden rule

Do not connect everything. Connect the tools where your work really happens, and keep approval on every change.

Email
Docs
Tasks
Design
Sales
Data
Automation

Start with the tool you open most each day. Connect it, test one task, and then add the next one.
