Overview

Use this guide to connect Centaur to Claude through a custom connector and verify that Claude can call list_events. That verification prompt is only a simple smoke test. Once connected, Claude can use the broader Centaur surface across the partner feed, events, messages, generated narrative summaries, positions, discovery, and stats. The official Claude Directory Connector uses OAuth against the same remote MCP server.

​
Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure you have:
  • A Centaur account that is active with a verified email
  • Access to Claude connector settings
Preferred server URL:

​
Set up Claude

  1. Open Claude and go to Settings > Connectors.
  2. Click Add custom connector.
  3. Name it Centaur.
  4. Paste into Remote MCP Server URL.
  5. Save the connector.
  6. If Claude prompts for sign-in, continue in the browser and approve the Centaur access request.
  7. Enable the connector in your chat.
Claude custom connectors should use the plain Centaur MCP URL first. Claude can dynamically register the connector during the OAuth flow when the workspace supports that path.

​
Verify the integration

After setup, open a chat and ask:
Confirm Claude can discover the connector and return results from list_events. After that succeeds, the connector is ready for the wider supported Centaur reads.

​
Install the Centaur skill

Now that Claude is connected, install the Public skill to get a guided Centaur workflow in your client.
For setup details, see the Public skill page.

​
Troubleshooting

  • If Claude cannot discover the connector, reopen the chat after enabling it.
  • If Claude says the connector cannot authenticate, remove and recreate the connector with the plain MCP URL so it can retry Dynamic Client Registration.
  • If the browser sign-in flow does not complete, remove and recreate the connector so it can retry the OAuth flow.
