Requires SocialMate 3. The Claude Agent arrives with SocialMate 3 — coming very soon. Today’s download is SocialMate 2; the app offers the update to 3 when it is released (on a server, update with your usual command).
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for giving AI agents tools. The Claude Agent is an MCP client: connect any MCP server and its tools become available to the agents you switch it on for. Ready-made recipes cover Stripe payment links, a Shopify storefront, Notion, HubSpot, Square, PayPal and Calendly — each reached through a generic MCP connection, not a native integration.
Add a server
- Open Connectors (sidebar, under AI) and scroll to Add MCP server.
- For a remote server, type a name and the server URL. Choose the sign-in: None, a Header key, or Sign in with OAuth (OAuth 2.1 — discovery, client registration and PKCE are handled for you).
- Click Add & verify. SocialMate lists the server’s tools and shows its status.
- For a local program on the desktop (for example an
npxpackage), choose Local program and fill in the command and arguments. Only add programs you trust; local programs are off on the headless server unless you allow them.
Safe by default. A generic MCP tool is owner-only and Ask me first until you allow specific tools for customers. Sign-in data is stored encrypted and never reaches the model, and the agent still never chooses who it messages.
