This page covers connecting an AI client (Claude, ChatGPT, and others) to Famulor. Looking to connect one of your assistants out to an external MCP server mid-call — your own CRM or internal tools? See Tools & webhooks instead.
Connecting clients
- Claude
- ChatGPT
- Other clients
Connect with the Famulor connector in Claude’s directory.
- Open the directory page and choose Connect.
- Sign in to your Famulor account and approve the requested access.
- Start a chat and ask, for example: “Review my support assistant and summarize its recent calls.”
Full access: add a custom connector
Full access: add a custom connector
To create and change assistants, start campaigns, or use a white-label domain, add a custom connector with the URL shown in Settings → API & MCP:
- Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
- Enter
https://app.famulor.io/mcp. - Sign in and approve the requested permissions.
- The approved tools appear in Claude.
Connect from inside Famulor
Choose Connect in the sidebar, or Use with ChatGPT & Claude on the dashboard. Pick your AI app on the left (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Windsurf) to see its setup in three short steps and one button that opens or installs it. For Claude, choose between the read-only directory connector and a custom connector with full access. Wherever a custom connector is used, the dialog shows the correct MCP URL for your current domain, lets you pick which tool groups to connect with (see Tools and scopes), and offers starter prompts for common tasks — build an assistant, diagnose one that misbehaves, analyze your last call, improve from your last 30 calls, or launch a campaign. The MCP URL and the same app buttons are available any time from Settings → API & MCP.Authentication and consent
Compatible clients start the OAuth sign-in automatically. The consent screen shows the requested tool groups before anything is shared, and your choice is remembered for future connections. Approved connections are listed under Settings → API & MCP, where each one can be revoked at any time. For a manual or server-to-server connection, send a workspace API key instead:
For your own server integration, open Settings → API & MCP → Create a new API key, enter a recognizable name and select Create key.
What a connected client can see
The official ChatGPT plugin uses the read-only public directory profile. Its permissions stay limited to assistant information and conversation history. A custom OAuth connection gets a curated set of 7 tool groups —assistants, calls, campaigns, knowledge, telephony, billing, and settings — rather than the full catalog. This is a deliberate limit, not a plan restriction: Famulor’s complete tool catalog is large, and loading all of it at once is more than these clients reliably support. Selecting every group during setup still lands you on the curated set for this reason.
To use fewer groups, deselect the ones you don’t need when connecting, or edit your selection any time under Settings → API & MCP. See Tools and scopes for what each group covers.
If your integration genuinely needs the complete catalog — all 14 groups — connect with a workspace API key instead of OAuth, and add ?toolsets=all to the endpoint URL. This path is meant for your own scripts and server-to-server integrations, not for a general-purpose AI client.
Rate limits
MCP requests are rate-limited to keep the platform responsive for every workspace:
A client that exceeds these limits receives a
429 response and should back off before retrying — see Errors.
