Connect MetaMonster to Claude

Add the MetaMonster connector to Claude on the web, desktop or phone, sign in, and ask Claude about your site. Also covers Claude Code and the MetaMonster skill.

The MetaMonster connector lets Claude work from your own data: your sites and pages, your Search Console numbers, your Playbook and your drafts. MetaMonster is listed in Claude’s connector directory, and the connector works the same in claude.ai, Claude Desktop and the Claude mobile apps.

What you need

  • A Claude account. Connectors work on every Claude plan, Free included. On Team and Enterprise, an owner turns the connector on for the organization first (see below).
  • A MetaMonster account. Sign up at app.metamonster.ai with Google or with an email and password. You don’t need a plan to start: without one, Claude can answer questions about your Search Console data up to 100 times a day and run a quick check on any page. Everything else, like briefs, drafts and full page analysis, needs a plan.

Add the connector

  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors. Some versions call it Customize → Connectors.
  2. Browse the connector directory and find MetaMonster.
  3. Click Connect.
  4. Sign in with your MetaMonster account.
  5. If you belong to more than one MetaMonster organization, pick the one Claude should work in.
  6. Click Approve.

That’s it. There’s no API key to copy: the connector signs in for you and keeps its access up to date.

On Claude Team or Enterprise

An owner adds MetaMonster for the organization first, under Organization settings → Connectors. Then each person connects it from their own Settings → Connectors and signs in with their own MetaMonster account.

If MetaMonster isn’t in the directory

Add it by its address instead:

  1. Go to Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it MetaMonster and enter the server URL: https://app.metamonster.ai/mcp
  3. Click Add, then sign in, pick your organization and approve, as above.

Claude’s Free plan allows one custom connector.

Use it in a chat

Turn MetaMonster on for a conversation from the + button at the bottom left of the message box, under Connectors. Then ask in plain words. Claude picks the right tools on its own. For example:

  • “Which pages on my site should I work on first?”
  • “Which searches lost the most clicks this month?”
  • “Check https://example.com/pricing and tell me what’s failing.”
  • “Write a brief for a new page about kitchen remodeling costs.”

The first time you ask about Search Console, MetaMonster gives you a link to connect your Google account. Do that once, and Claude can read your clicks, impressions and rankings from then on.

Claude never publishes anything from the connector. Briefs, drafts and fixes are saved in MetaMonster, and they wait for you to review and publish them.

Add the MetaMonster skill

The connector gives Claude every MetaMonster tool. The MetaMonster skill teaches it how they fit together, so it plans from your Playbook, reads your Context Library before it writes, and stops for your OK wherever your automation settings say. Download it from the skill’s page and upload it under Customize → Skills. There are more free skills for specific SEO jobs on the SEO skills page.

Claude Code

Claude Code connects with an API key instead of signing in. Create a key in MetaMonster under Settings → API Keys, then run:

claude mcp add --transport http metamonster https://app.metamonster.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer mm_YOUR_KEY"

Treat the key like a password. The API guide covers keys in more detail.

Disconnect or switch organizations

To disconnect Claude, go to Settings → Connected apps in MetaMonster and revoke it. Access stops right away.

Each connection works in one MetaMonster organization. To switch, revoke the connection, then connect again from Claude and pick the other organization.

What the connector can see

Only your organization’s MetaMonster data: sites, pages, analyses, fixes, briefs, drafts, business facts and context documents. It doesn’t read your Claude chats, memory or files. MetaMonster only receives what a tool needs, such as a page URL, and sends back the result.
