Connect Claude or ChatGPT (MCP)

MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets you connect an AI tool — Claude, ChatGPT, or Claude Code — directly to antbase. Once connected, you can ask the AI to find, create, and update your projects and tasks in plain language. The AI acts as you, with exactly the permissions your role has.

Before you start

Custom AI connectors require a paid plan from the AI provider: Claude (Pro / Max / Team / Enterprise) or ChatGPT (Plus / Pro / Business / Enterprise). Each person connects with their own AI account.

Connect Claude (no terminal)

1. In Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app), open Settings → Connectors.
2. Click Add custom connectors.
3. Name it antbase and paste the URL https://app.antbase.co/mcp.
4. Click Add, then Connect — sign in to antbase and click Authorize.

Connect ChatGPT (no terminal)

1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors.
2. Add a custom connector, name it antbase, and paste https://app.antbase.co/mcp.
3. Create it, then connect and authorize when antbase opens.

Connect Claude Code (terminal)

For developers, run this command, then complete the sign-in when your browser opens:

claude mcp add --transport http antbase https://app.antbase.co/mcp

What you can ask

• "List my overdue tasks in workspace 1."
• "Create a task 'Draft Q3 plan' in the Marketing project."
• "Give me today's standup."
• "Who's overloaded in the Marketing project?"
• "Make the weekly report task repeat every Monday."

Permissions & security

The connection is account-wide — it spans every workspace you belong to — and the AI only does what your role allows: guests stay read-only, members can create and update, and managers and admins get bulk and admin actions. You can revoke access any time in Workspace Settings → Integrations → MCP → Connected apps.

Set it up from antbase

You'll find copy-paste setup for all three tools in Workspace Settings → Integrations → MCP.
