Claude.ai Configuration

This guide explains how to connect the Probo MCP Server to Claude.ai, Anthropic’s web-based interface, enabling Claude to interact with your compliance data directly in the browser.

Claude.ai supports native MCP integration via OAuth — no tokens to manage and no local software to install.

Prerequisites

A Claude.ai account (Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan)
A running Probo instance with API access

Connect Probo to Claude.ai

1. Open Integrations Settings

Log into claude.ai
Click your profile icon in the top-right corner
Go to Settings → Integrations

2. Add the Probo MCP Server

Click “Add integration”
Enter a name (e.g. Probo)
Enter your Probo MCP URL:

https://your-probo-instance.com/api/mcp/v1

Click “Connect”

3. Authorize via OAuth

Claude.ai will open a new window redirecting you to your Probo instance. Log in if prompted, then click “Authorize” to grant Claude.ai access to your compliance data.

Once authorized, you’ll be redirected back to Claude.ai — the integration is active.

Verify Connection

Start a new conversation and ask:

"List all organizations I have access to"

Claude should use the listOrganizations tool and return your organizations. If it does, the connection is working.

Example Interactions

Risk Management

You: "Show me all high-priority risks in my organization"

Claude: I'll fetch those for you.
[Uses listRisks tool]

Here are the high-priority risks:
1. Data breach from vendor systems
2. Inadequate access controls
...

Vendor Management

You: "Add a new vendor called 'CloudStore Inc' that provides storage services"

Claude: I'll add that vendor now.
[Uses addVendor tool]

Successfully added CloudStore Inc as a vendor.

Compliance Status

You: "Give me a compliance status overview — open nonconformities, overdue obligations, and active audits"

Claude: Let me gather that data.
[Uses listFindings, listObligations, listAudits]

Here's your compliance summary:
- 3 open nonconformities (1 critical)
- 2 overdue obligations
- 1 active audit (SOC 2 Type II)

Programmatic Access

For custom applications that use the Claude API, you can also connect to the Probo MCP server programmatically:

Python Example

import anthropic

client = anthropic.Anthropic(api_key="your_claude_api_key")

response = client.beta.messages.create(
    model="claude-opus-4-8",
    max_tokens=1024,
    mcp_servers=[
        {
            "type": "url",
            "url": "https://your-probo-instance.com/api/mcp/v1",
            "name": "probo",
            "authorization_token": "your_probo_api_token",
        }
    ],
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "List all high-priority risks in my organization"
        }
    ],
    betas=["mcp-client-2025-04-04"],
)

print(response.content)

JavaScript Example

import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";

const anthropic = new Anthropic({
  apiKey: process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY,
});

const response = await anthropic.beta.messages.create({
  model: "claude-opus-4-8",
  max_tokens: 1024,
  mcp_servers: [
    {
      type: "url",
      url: "https://your-probo-instance.com/api/mcp/v1",
      name: "probo",
      authorization_token: process.env.PROBO_API_TOKEN,
    },
  ],
  messages: [
    {
      role: "user",
      content: "Show me all open nonconformities",
    },
  ],
  betas: ["mcp-client-2025-04-04"],
});

console.log(response.content);
