Before you start
You need an active IN-STORE account and a Claude plan that allows custom connectors. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner of the Claude workspace may have to allow custom connectors first.
Add the connector
- Open claude.ai or the Claude desktop app and go to Settings, then Connectors.
- Press "Add custom connector".
- Name: IN-STORE. Remote MCP server URL: https://in-store.ca/api/mcp. Leave the advanced settings empty and press Add.
- Press Connect next to IN-STORE. A page of in-store.ca opens: sign in with your IN-STORE email and password if you are asked.
- On the "Allow access?" page check that the right account is shown, choose what the assistant may do and press Allow.
- You are back in Claude and IN-STORE shows as connected.
Use it in a chat
In a new chat open the tools menu under the message box and make sure IN-STORE is switched on. Then simply ask, for example "What is waiting for my approval this week?".
Claude asks for your permission the first time it uses each tool. You can allow it once or always; either way our own two-step confirmation still applies to every change.
A connector you add on the web or in the desktop app also works in the Claude mobile app with the same Claude account.
