Privy is available in the Claude Connectors Directory. Open the Privy listing and click Connect, or search for Privy under Settings → Connectors in Claude web or desktop. If you can’t use the directory, you can add a custom connector with the server URL above.Claude organizations
On Claude Team and Enterprise plans, Privy connects to Claude’s web and desktop apps as an organization connector, managed by a Claude admin.1
Admin: enable Privy from the directory
A Claude admin goes to Admin settings → Connectors, finds Privy in the Connectors Directory, and enables it for the organization.

Connect your Privy account
In a chat, open the tools menu, find Privy, and click Connect. Claude opens a browser window — log in to Privy and select your business.
3
Use it in a chat
With the Privy connector enabled, ask Claude about your account — for example, “How did my abandoned cart flow perform last month?”
Claude Code
Privy can be installed from the Connectors Directory or added from your terminal:Gemini CLI
Add the server from your terminal:/mcp auth privy inside the CLI to start the login.
Cursor
Add Privy to~/.cursor/mcp.json (or a project’s .cursor/mcp.json):
Other MCP clients
Any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth works with this standard configuration:Disconnecting
Remove the Privy server from your assistant’s MCP or connector settings. That ends the assistant’s access; reconnecting requires logging in to Privy again.Troubleshooting
- Login succeeds but the connection fails — make sure your account is on a paid Privy plan. If it is and connecting still fails, contact Support.
- No business appears during login — only businesses on a paid plan are shown in the business picker.
- Requests start failing after working fine — disconnect and reconnect the server in your assistant to start a fresh session.
