# Claude

> Connect Claude or Claude Code to the Standard Metrics MCP server

# Set up the Standard Metrics MCP in Claude

## Prerequisites

[Claude custom connectors](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-get-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp) are available on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Free accounts can add one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner or Primary Owner must first add the connector for the organization.

Each user also needs their own Standard Metrics account to authenticate through OAuth.

## Claude Web and Desktop

### Team and Enterprise plans

An Owner or Primary Owner must add the Standard Metrics custom connector for the organization:

1. Navigate to [Connector Org Settings](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/connectors) in **Claude Org Settings**.
2. Click **Add**, then select **Custom** > **Web**.
3. Enter a name for the connector, such as `Standard Metrics`.
4. Paste the following URL into **Remote MCP server URL**:

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.standardmetrics.io/mcp
```

5. Click **Add**.

<Note>
  Adding the connector makes it available to the organization, but members must sign in with their own Standard Metrics accounts before they can access Standard Metrics data.
</Note>

### Free, Pro, and Max plans

Add the connector directly to your Claude account:

1. Navigate to [Connectors](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors) in your Claude settings.
2. Click **+**, then select **Add custom connector**.
3. Enter a name, such as `Standard Metrics`.
4. Enter `https://mcp.standardmetrics.io/mcp` as the remote MCP server URL.
5. Click **Add**.

### Connect and authorize

Each user must connect their own Standard Metrics account:

1. Navigate to [Connectors](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors) in your Claude settings.
2. Find the Standard Metrics connector and click **Connect**.
3. Sign in with your Standard Metrics account and complete the authorization flow.

## Claude Code

Add the Standard Metrics MCP server to Claude Code from your terminal:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user standard-metrics https://mcp.standardmetrics.io/mcp
```

Then authenticate with your Standard Metrics account:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp login standard-metrics
```

Complete the OAuth flow in your browser. You can run `/mcp` inside Claude Code at any time to check the connection.

## Test your connection

Ask Claude:

> List my portfolio companies.

If Claude returns data from Standard Metrics, your connection is ready. If it does not, see [Troubleshooting](/guides/mcp-troubleshooting).
