Connect Claude

AI Connect ·3 min read ·Updated July 2026
You're here because

you use Claude - on the web, desktop or mobile - and want it working with your events in about a minute.

Claude connects to AI Connect as a custom connector. The whole setup is pasting one URL and signing in with your own WordPress account – Claude and your site negotiate the rest (registration, OAuth, permissions) automatically.

Add the connector

  1. Copy your endpoint URL from Venuera → AI Connect → Overview (the Copy button next to …/wp-json/venuera-mcp/v1/mcp).
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and click “Add custom connector”.
  3. Paste the endpoint URL and confirm.
  4. Claude opens your site’s login page – sign in with your WordPress account (not an Anthropic account; the login happens on your own site).
  5. The consent screen lists the permissions Claude is requesting – read, write, check-in, point of sale – each with a checkbox. Untick anything you don’t want this connection to have, then approve. See permissions & security for what each scope covers.
  6. Start a new chat. Existing conversations do not see newly added connectors.

Try it

In the new chat, ask something only your site can answer:

  • “What events do I have coming up next week?”
  • “How many tickets have we sold for Saturday, and what’s the revenue?”

Claude discovers your site’s tools automatically and calls them as needed – you’ll see it working with tools like venuera_list_events and venuera_get_event_stats live in the chat.

Good to know: the connection is tied to the WordPress user who signed in. Claude can never see or do more than that user’s WordPress role allows – an editor connection cannot touch POS reports, a cashier connection cannot create events. Access tokens rotate automatically in the background; if the connection ever lapses, Claude simply asks you to sign in again.

Managing the connection

The connection appears in Venuera → AI Connect → Connections with its client name, user and scopes. Click Revoke at any time to cut it off instantly – the next call from Claude gets a 401 and Claude prompts for a fresh authorization.
