What is MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that allows AI assistants like Anthropic Claude to securely connect with external applications such as SmartTask.

Through MCP, Claude can interact with your SmartTask workspace in real-time using natural language commands.

Step 1: Create an OAuth Client in SmartTask

Before connecting Claude, you first need to create an OAuth2 client inside SmartTask.

Navigate to Developer Settings

Inside SmartTask:

• Go to Developer Settings
• Open Clients
• Click Create New Client

You will need to configure the following:

Redirect URI

Use the following redirect URI:

https://claude.ai/api/mcp/auth_callback

This redirect URI is required for Claude authentication.

Once the client is created, note down:

• Client ID
• Client Secret

These will be used while configuring the connector in Claude.

Step 2: Configure SmartTask MCP in Claude

Open Claude AI and follow these steps:

Open Connector Settings

• Go to Customize Connectors
• Create a New Connector

Connector Name

Example:

SmartTask

Remote MCP URL

Enter your SmartTask MCP endpoint URL.

Example:

https://mcp.smarttask.io/mcp

Step 4: Use SmartTask Inside Claude

After setup:

• Open any Claude chat
• Ensure the SmartTask connector is enabled
• Start interacting naturally
