The MCP Server connects Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor to CompanyCam so you can read and update your Projects, Photos, and more using plain language. This article covers who has access to the Beta and how to set up your connection. To learn what you can do once you're connected, see Using the CompanyCam MCP Server (Beta).

This feature is available on select plans, is in Beta, and is only available on the web app. Plan availability is subject to change.

Setting up the MCP Server

Note: You need an Admin or Manager role in CompanyCam to connect the MCP Server.

There are two ways to connect, depending on which AI tool you're using.

With a custom connector (recommended for Claude or ChatGPT)

Important: Enter the server URL exactly as shown. A typo in the URL will keep the connector from working.

In Claude:

Open Settings > Connectors.
Select Add custom connector and enter a name, like "CompanyCam."
Paste the server URL: https://api.companycam.com/public_api/mcp
Sign in to CompanyCam when prompted.
Approve access. Claude brings you back automatically once you're done.
Ask Claude something like "What Projects did I update this week?" to confirm the connection is working.

In ChatGPT:

Open Settings > Plugins.
Select the + next to "search plugins," then choose New Plugin.
Paste the same server URL: https://api.companycam.com/public_api/mcp
Sign in to CompanyCam when prompted.
Approve access. ChatGPT brings you back automatically once you're done.

Note: This connection works across Claude Chat, Claude Cowork, and Claude Code. If you're already signed into Claude Code with the same CompanyCam account, the connection carries over automatically. No separate setup needed.

You can return to the connector any time to adjust its read and write permissions.

With a personal access token (for Cursor or Claude Code)

Visit our developer portal or head straight to the MCP setup guide.

Generate a personal access token from Access Tokens in CompanyCam.
Paste the setup command from the developer portal into your terminal (Claude Code only).

Disconnecting the MCP Server

Revoke your access token from Access Tokens in CompanyCam, or remove the connector from your AI tool's settings. Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor loses access to your CompanyCam data immediately.

To reconnect later, repeat the setup steps above.

FAQs

Is the MCP Server fully released?

The MCP Server is not fully released. It's still in Beta, so what Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor can read and change today may expand or change as we roll it out more broadly.

Who can set up the MCP Server?

Only Admins and Managers can set up the MCP Server. Standard Users don't have access yet.

Do I need a developer to set this up?

The custom connector flow doesn't require a developer. It's designed for any Admin or Manager to complete on their own, directly from their AI tool's settings.

What plans include the MCP Server?

The MCP Server is available on select plans and is currently in Beta.

How do I get Beta access?

Beta access is open and available in your account from the web version of CompanyCam.

What AI tools can I connect?

Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor are the AI tools you can connect right now.

What happens if I lose my access token?

Losing your access token means you should revoke it right away from Access Tokens in CompanyCam, then generate a new one and reconnect.

What if the connection isn't working?

Most connection issues come down to two things: an incomplete authorization step, or being signed into the wrong CompanyCam account. Check both, then contact our Support team if you're still stuck.
