Connecting Claude to Gigwell

Add the Gigwell MCP connector to Claude and ask questions about your roster, team and reports.

Written by Antonio Sierra

Gigwell MCP lets you connect Claude to your Gigwell data. Once it's connected, you can ask Claude about your roster, your organization's members and your reports in plain language, and it pulls live answers from Gigwell.

Before you start

  • Gigwell access: API/MCP access has to be enabled for your Gigwell user. It's currently available to agency users with the Owner role. Start a chat with us and we'll turn it on for you.

  • Claude plan: custom connectors work on the Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. Free plans are limited to one custom connector.

  • Team and Enterprise: an Owner of your Claude organization adds the connector first; members then connect it to their own Gigwell login.

  • Have your Gigwell login (or company SSO) ready. You sign in through Gigwell's secure login, so you never type your password into Claude.

Connection details

Free, Pro and Max plans

  1. In Claude (web or desktop app), go to Customize > Connectors.

  2. Click +, then Add custom connector.

  3. Enter the name and server URL above. Leave Advanced settings blank.

  4. Click Add, then Connect.

  5. Sign in with your Gigwell account, review the permissions and approve.

Team and Enterprise plans

  1. Owner: go to Organization settings > Connectors, click Add, hover over Custom and choose Web. Enter the server URL and click Add.

  2. Each member: go to Customize > Connectors, find Gigwell MCP (it's labelled Custom) and click Connect.

  3. Sign in with your own Gigwell account and approve access. Claude only sees what your Gigwell user can see.

Turn it on in a chat

  1. Start a new chat.

  2. Click + in the lower left of the message box and choose Connectors.

  3. Toggle Gigwell MCP on. Connectors are switched on per conversation.

Things to try

  • "Who are the members of my Gigwell organization?"

  • "Show me everyone on my roster."

  • "Which types of reports can I run?"

  • "Run a report of this quarter's bookings by artist."

Troubleshooting

  • The connection fails right away: API/MCP access probably isn't enabled for your Gigwell user yet. Start a chat with us and we'll check.

  • You don't see Add custom connector: on Team and Enterprise, an Owner may need to allow custom connectors or add Gigwell MCP for the organization first.

  • Adding it fails or times out: check the URL is exactly https://api.gigwell.com/api/mcp with no spaces.

  • Claude isn't using Gigwell: make sure the connector is toggled on in that conversation.

  • Sign-in problems: remove the connector in Customize > Connectors and add it again.

Security

Claude connects through Gigwell's secure login, so it never sees or stores your Gigwell password. You can disconnect it any time in Claude's connector settings, or ask us to turn off API/MCP access for your user.
