Claude desktop and web
Add IndexZero as a custom connector in Claude's settings.
Claude's desktop app and claude.ai connect to remote MCP servers through Connectors. IndexZero supports the OAuth flow they expect, so you paste one URL and approve in the browser.
Open connector settings
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
Paste the endpoint
https://app.indexzero.site/mcpGive it a name such as "IndexZero". No client id or secret is needed: the server supports dynamic client registration.
Approve
Claude opens app.indexzero.site. Sign in if needed and approve the connection. The consent screen lists the scopes requested.
Enable it in a conversation
Connectors can be toggled per conversation from the tools menu in the composer. Turn IndexZero on and ask Claude to list your projects.
Connectors are tied to your Claude account, and the IndexZero workspace they reach is the one you approved with. Approving again from a different IndexZero account switches which workspace the connector uses.
Working in Claude
A few patterns that work well once connected:
- Start with a project. "Which of my IndexZero projects is for acme.com?" resolves the
projectIdevery other tool needs. - Ask for a plan before spending. "Estimate what a rank check on the acme tracker would cost" is free; Claude will call
estimate_rank_tracker_costand report the number. - Prefer measured data for your own site. "What are my striking-distance queries in Search Console?" is free and more accurate than a paid estimate.
