Connect Claude
& ChatGPT to AppChat
AppChat exposes a Model Context Protocol server so your assistant can read channels, search messages, post as you, see who’s online, and add VNOC tasks — with your permissions.
MCP endpoint
https://www.appchat.com/api/mcpStreamable HTTP · OAuth for claude.ai / ChatGPT · Bearer key for Claude Code & Desktop
claude.ai & ChatGPT (no key)
Best for browser apps — sign in once, AppChat handles OAuth.
Open connectors
In claude.ai: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors (developer mode) → Create.
Paste the MCP URL
Use the Streamable HTTP endpoint below. You will be redirected to sign in to AppChat and click Allow.
Use it as you
The assistant only sees what you can see. Revoke any time from the sidebar → Connect Claude / AI.
Claude Code & Desktop (API key)
Create a personal connection key in AppChat, then paste the snippets below. Replace appc_YOUR_KEY with your key.
Sign in & create a key
In any AppChat workspace, open the sidebar → Connect Claude / AI → Create key. Copy it once — it won’t be shown again.
Add the server
Point your MCP client at the URL with Authorization: Bearer <your key>. Snippets for Claude Code and Desktop are below.
Revoke when done
Keys can be revoked instantly. Prefer one key per device or app.
