Funnel is in the process of getting listed in Claude's connector directory. Use this article when you add Funnel MCP to Claude as a custom connector (manual MCP server entry) until Funnel is listed there or your organization requires a custom configuration.
Claude authenticates to Funnel with OAuth 2.0. Funnel MCP is read-only: it reads data and definitions from Funnel and does not create or change data sources, fields, dashboards, exports or other Funnel configuration.
Before you begin
You need:
A Funnel account with access to at least one workspace.
At least one data source connected in that workspace so queries return results.
Access in Claude to add a custom connector for your surface (Claude.ai, desktop, Claude Code, or Cowork). For Anthropic's requirements and where to open the connector flow, see Third-party connectors with remote MCP or Use connectors to extend Claude's capabilities.
The MCP server URL and OAuth details for your Funnel environment, from your connection materials or administrator. Do not guess endpoint URLs.
Note: In some organizations, an administrator must allow custom connectors or approve the OAuth client before you can connect.
Add Funnel MCP as a custom connector in Claude
Follow Adding custom connectors section in Anthropic's documentation for the full flow (for example Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector). Steps differ by plan and interface; use the section that matches yours.
When you configure the connector, use these Funnel-specific values:
Name: Enter a label that helps you recognize this connector in Claude (for example Funnel MCP).
Remote MCP server URL: Use the URL for your Funnel region:
Other regions:
https://mcp.ai.funnel.io/mcp
Leave the fields under Advanced settings empty.
Select Add and complete the browser sign-in flow for Funnel. Approve the requested permissions.
In Settings > Connectors, open your Funnel MCP connector.
Under Tool permissions, choose when Claude may use each tool (for example Needs approval, Always allow, or Deny). You can set permissions for all read-only tools at once or for each tool individually.
Important: Funnel MCP tools are read-only. Claude cannot change Funnel configuration through Funnel MCP.
For privacy and support, see Funnel privacy notice and Funnel support 101.
Verify the connection
Start a new chat (or session, in Claude Code or Cowork) and ask something only Funnel can answer for your account, for example:
List the workspaces I can access in Funnel.In my workspace, list available platforms and the main metrics I can query.
Troubleshoot Connection issue: Connection has expired
When your Funnel MCP connection expires, you see Connection issue in Claude and a prompt to reconnect and sign in again. You may also see a warning icon next to the Funnel connector in Connectors under Not connected. Complete the following steps to resolve this error:
In Settings > Connectors, select your Funnel custom connector, then select Connect.
When the browser opens, sign in to Funnel. Use the sign-in method your organization requires and complete the sign-in flow.
When the page displays Connected, return to Claude.
In Settings > Connectors, confirm the warning is gone, then run your verification prompt again in a new chat.
