Connecting Claude or another AI assistant to Studiohaus

Studiohaus includes a read-only MCP server. MCP is the open standard AI assistants use to reach outside tools, and it means the assistant you already use can read your studio's projects directly instead of you pasting things in.

What your assistant can do

Three tools, all read-only:

• List projects. Every project your role can see, with client, status, phase and key dates.
• Project overview. One project in full: client contact, address, phase, dates, and open invoice totals if your role includes financials.
• Project activity. A chronological feed for a date range: communication-log entries, completed tasks, client approvals on design boards, and invoice events.

Typical asks: "Draft a weekly update for each active project using my template." "Which projects have an overdue invoice?" "What did the client approve on the Marchetti board since Monday?"

What it will never do

There are no write tools. It cannot create, edit or delete a project, task, invoice, message, contract or board. It sees only your studio, and within it only what your role allows. Financial figures return "not permitted" for roles without that permission. Portal messages from clients are not included.

Connect Claude (web or desktop)

1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. Name it Studiohaus. URL: https://platform.studiohaus.app/api/mcp​
3. Claude opens a Studiohaus sign-in. Sign in as an owner or studio admin and approve.
4. In a chat, enable the Studiohaus connector and ask for your projects.

No token to copy. To disconnect, remove the connector in Claude or revoke it under Settings → Integrations → Connected AI in Studiohaus.

Connect Claude Code, Cursor, or another client

These take a URL and a personal token.

1. In Studiohaus, go to Settings → Integrations → Connected AI. Owners and studio admins only.
2. Create a token with a label, such as "Heather's Cursor". Copy it now; it is shown once.
3. Add the server to your client. For Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http studiohaus https://platform.studiohaus.app/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer sh_pat_..."

For a JSON-configured client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "studiohaus": {
      "url": "https://platform.studiohaus.app/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer sh_pat_..." }
    }
  }
}

Each token shows its last use in Settings. Revoke it there and the next request fails immediately.

Keeping your template in your AI

Studiohaus supplies facts only. Put your client-update wording, tone and sign-off in your assistant's project instructions or a saved prompt, then ask it to fill the template from the last seven days of activity.
