What happens when you connect
You never enter an API key or password into your AI assistant. Instead, every client follows the same secure flow:1
Add the connector
Add Givebutter from the directory in Claude or ChatGPT, or point any other client at
https://mcp.givebutter.com/mcp, using the instructions for your assistant.2
Sign in to Givebutter
Your client opens a Givebutter sign-in page in your browser. Log in as you normally would.
3
Choose an account
If you have access to more than one Givebutter account, pick the single account this connector
should use.
4
Authorize
Approve the connector. Your assistant receives a secure, read-only token and is ready to answer
questions about your data.
Pick your assistant
Claude
Claude.ai and the Claude desktop and mobile apps, from the connectors directory.

The Claude Code CLI.

Troubleshooting
The connector asks me to choose an account again
The connector asks me to choose an account again
Each connector is scoped to exactly one Givebutter account. If you need to query a different
account, add a separate connector and choose that account during sign-in.
I want to disconnect
I want to disconnect
Remove the connector from your AI assistant’s settings. It stops querying your data right away,
and its access expires automatically. The token is read-only and scoped to a single account.
