The MCP server

Connect Claude or any MCP client to your workspace, with the scopes you choose.

Why: Asking which open quotes belong to customers who have not ordered since March is one sentence to an assistant and four screens anywhere else.
What: A Model Context Protocol server at https://kabaido.ai/api/mcp over streamable HTTP, with read tools and one tool that opens requests.
How: Add it to Claude as a custom connector, or give any MCP client an API key.

Connect

Step 1.
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
Step 2.
Paste https://kabaido.ai/api/mcp and continue.
Step 3.
Sign in to Kabaido, pick the organisation and the scopes, then Allow access.

Create a key on Kabaido API, then run:

bash

claude mcp add --transport http kabaido https://kabaido.ai/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer kbd_your_key_here"

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kabaido": {
      "url": "https://kabaido.ai/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer kbd_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

The Claude connector signs in with OAuth and PKCE, so no key is pasted anywhere. Approved connections are listed under Active connections on the Claude and Any MCP client entries, each of which can be revoked.

The scope ceiling

A connection can never hold more than the person approving it: the consent screen offers only the scopes their own role allows. An operator's connector reads requests and nothing commercial.

Usage

Reading costs nothing. create_request through an API key is free, as on the REST API. Through an OAuth connector it draws on your usage at twice the standard weight. With too little usage left, the tool says so rather than failing silently.

Treat a connection like a key. Grant read scopes by default and add requests:write only where an assistant should raise requests.
