Claude connects to Skyp via OAuth, giving it direct access to your campaigns, contacts, analytics, and inbox — no API key needed. Once connected, you can manage your entire Skyp account through natural language conversation in Claude.

For an overview of all supported MCP clients, see [Using the Agents & API Dashboard](https://support.skyp.ai/en/articles/14603077-using-the-agents-api-dashboard). If you're looking to connect via Slack instead, see [Using Skyp with Slack](https://support.skyp.ai/en/articles/15575863-using-skyp-with-slack).

## Before you start

- A Skyp account with your company profile set up ( [Company settings](https://app.skyp.ai/dashboard/company)) — required before creating campaigns via MCP.
- Claude Desktop or access to Claude.ai.

## Connecting Skyp to Claude

1. In Skyp, go to [Agents](https://app.skyp.ai/dashboard/agents) in the left sidebar and click the **Claude** tab.
2. Open **Claude Settings**, navigate to **MCP Servers**, and click **Add custom connector**.
3. Fill in the following fields:
    -  **Name:** `Skyp`
    -  **Remote MCP server URL:** `https://api.skyp.ai/mcp`
4. Leave **Advanced settings** (OAuth Client ID and Secret) empty — Skyp handles this automatically.
5. Click **Add**. A Skyp authorization page will open — review the permissions and click **Allow**. The popup will close once the handshake completes.

You can copy the Name and MCP URL directly from the Claude tab in [Agents](https://app.skyp.ai/dashboard/agents) using the copy icons.

## What you can do

Once connected, Claude can interact with your Skyp account directly. Examples:

- **Campaigns:** Create, edit, pause, and resume email campaigns. Generate strategies, write sequences, and finalize campaigns for sending.
- **Contacts:** Add contacts, bulk-upload lists, check do-not-contact status, and manage contact details.
- **Analytics:** Pull campaign performance stats, reply summaries, and engagement breakdowns from [Analytics](https://app.skyp.ai/dashboard/analytics).
- **Inbox & calendar:** Read your connected Gmail inbox and extract upcoming calendar events to coordinate outreach. See [Reading Your Gmail Inbox and Calendar with Skyp MCP Tools](https://support.skyp.ai/en/articles/14870855-reading-your-gmail-inbox-and-calendar-with-skyp-mcp-tools).
- **LinkedIn:** Manage LinkedIn campaigns and leads from [LinkedIn](https://app.skyp.ai/dashboard/linkedin).

## Things to know

- **Company profile required:** Skyp needs a company profile to generate strategies and finalize campaigns. Set yours up at [Company settings](https://app.skyp.ai/dashboard/company) before starting.
- **CTAs are required:** You must add at least one Call to Action using `create_new_cta` before calling `generate_campaign_strategy` or `finalize_campaign`.
- **Active campaigns are locked:** To edit a live campaign, go to [Campaigns](https://app.skyp.ai/dashboard/campaigns), pause it first, make your changes, then resume.
- **Mailboxes:** Make sure at least one mailbox is connected at [Mailboxes](https://app.skyp.ai/dashboard/mailboxes) before launching email campaigns.
