Do I need an API key?

No. Claude signs you in to Zami through your browser when you press Connect. There is nothing to create or paste.

Which Claude plans support it?

Custom connectors work on claude.ai, the Claude desktop and mobile apps, and Claude Code. Free plans allow one custom connector.

Claude asks for approval before every Zami tool. Can I stop that?

Yes. When Claude asks to use a Zami tool, choose “Always allow”. Or open Settings → Connectors → Zami and set the tools to always allowed. Zami's tools only read public data.

What can Claude see in my Zami account?

Only what Zami's collectors return. It cannot read your Zami conversations or reports, change billing, or invite anyone, and collection counts against your workspace's quota.

Remove Zami from Claude's Settings → Connectors. The connection stops working immediately.

CONNECT / ZAMI IN CLAUDE

Ask Claude.
Zami brings the evidence.

Connect Zami to Claude in under two minutes. Then ask about any creator, hashtag or brand, and Claude answers with live data from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, Telegram, news and the open web.

Add to Claude

01 / CLAUDE.AI, DESKTOP AND MOBILE

Connect in three steps

Add the connector. Click Add to Claude, or in Claude open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste the Zami URL.
Sign in to Zami. Press Connect. Sign in with your Zami account — or create one — and approve the connection.
Ask. Type /zami in any chat, or just ask about a creator, hashtag or brand. Claude runs Zami's collectors and answers with the data.

The Zami connector URL, if you are adding it by hand:

https://api.zami.et/mcp

02 / USE IT

The command and what to ask

Type /zami in any Claude chat and pick Ask Zami, or just ask in plain words — Claude reaches for Zami on its own when a question needs social data. To check which workspace is connected, ask “check my Zami status”.

The first time Claude uses a Zami tool it asks for your approval. Choose Always allow so it can run several lookups in one answer without stopping to ask.

03 / CLAUDE CODE

From the terminal

Run this, then type /mcp in Claude Code to sign in:

claude mcp add --transport http zami https://api.zami.et/mcp

Add --scope user to make Zami available in every project.

04 / CLAUDE DESKTOP CONFIG FILE

Prefer editing the config?

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zami": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.zami.et/mcp"
    }
  }
}
