# Connect to Claude

> Use Claude to read and update Eva contacts and opportunities.

You can connect Claude to your Eva account's CRM. Ask it to find contacts, review opportunities, and add notes. This connection uses an account key, so Claude can access that account's CRM data.

## Create a key in Eva

1. Open **Settings → Integrations → Eva API** and choose **Create key**.
2. Name it, for example **Claude**, and choose **Read only** if Claude should only look things up. Choose **Read and write** if it may also save contacts, opportunities, and notes.
3. Copy the key beginning with `eva_sk_`. Eva shows the full key only once. Keep it private.

You can revoke the key from the same screen. The connection will stop working immediately. Calls do not use Eva credits.

## In Claude

If you see **Request headers** when adding a connector in Claude, you can connect Eva with your key. This option is in beta and does not yet appear in every account.

1. Open **Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector**.
2. Name it **Eva CRM**, enter `https://api.goeva.ai/mcp` as the address, and click **Continue**.
3. Review authentication, click **Continue**, and choose **No sign in**.
4. Under **Request headers**, choose `Authorization` and mark it required. Enter `Bearer ` followed by your full key, with a space after `Bearer`.
5. Click **Add**. In a conversation, open **+ → Connectors** and turn on **Eva CRM**.

[See Claude's steps](https://claude.com/docs/connectors/custom/add-unlisted).

If you do not see **Request headers**, use Claude Code for now. On Claude Team or Enterprise, an organization owner must add the connector under **Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web**; members then find **Eva CRM** under **Customize → Connectors** and click **Connect**. The key gives everyone who uses that connector access to the Eva account.

## In Claude Code

Run these commands in your terminal. After the first command, paste your Eva key and press **Enter**:

```bash theme={null}
read -r EVA_MCP_KEY
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user eva-crm https://api.goeva.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $EVA_MCP_KEY"
unset EVA_MCP_KEY
```

The key stays out of your command history; Claude Code stores it in your personal configuration. Keep that configuration out of shared repositories. In Claude Code, use `/mcp` to check the connection. [See Claude Code's MCP guide](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp).

## What it can do

Claude can search and read contacts and opportunities; list pipelines, stages, owners, and custom fields; and read or add opportunity notes. With a write key, it can also create or update contacts and opportunities and move an opportunity to another stage. Ask it to show you a change before you confirm it.

This connection **cannot** delete records, send mass messages, launch campaigns, or change billing, members, or permissions. It does not open conversations, calendars, or messages either. A sign-in button in the Claude and ChatGPT apps is coming later; it is not available yet.
