Getting started
This page connects a personal AI assistant with your own Monotree login. For coding agents and scripts, see Connect a client.
Before you start
- You need to be an admin, editor or manager in Monotree. Other employees cannot connect.
- The MCP feature must be enabled for your company by your Monotree contact. Only admins see the Open API page in the CMS, and only while the Open API is on for your company, so editors and managers will not find the MCP tab there; they can still connect.
1. Copy the server URL
The MCP server URL is your company's Monotree address followed by /mcp:
https://customer.monotree.com/mcpAdmins can also copy it from Open API → MCP in the CMS.
2. Add it to your assistant
| Client | Where |
|---|---|
| Claude (web and desktop) | Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector |
| ChatGPT | Settings → Apps & Connectors → Create |
| Gemini | Settings → Extensions |
Paste the URL, name the connector "Monotree" and save.
For Claude there is a shortcut: type your subdomain below and the button opens Claude with the connector already filled in. You still sign in with your Monotree account in step 3.
3. Sign in
Click Connect. Your browser opens the Monotree sign-in page. Sign in with your usual Monotree account and approve the connection. You are sent back to the assistant, and Monotree is now available in your conversations.
Try it
- "What does our handbook say about uniforms?"
- "Who manages the Copenhagen department?"
- "How is onboarding going per department?"
- "Draft an announcement about the summer party on 21 June."
The assistant only sees what you can see in the CMS. New content it creates is saved as a draft with a link to the CMS, so it reaches no one until a person publishes it. New groups, walls you ask it to publish, and additions to content that is already published are live at once; the assistant is told to ask you first. See Working with an assistant.
Disconnecting
Remove the connector in your AI client. Admins can also see and disconnect the company's recently active connected clients under Open API → MCP in the CMS.
