Connect Swoop to Claude

Connect a Swoop workspace to Claude to set up monitoring, review your market, inspect conversations, prepare replies in your brand's voice, and organize your inbox.

Connect your workspace

Connecting is free. You need a verified Swoop account and permission to access a workspace. New users can create a workspace while connecting; no website or completed market profile is required.

Running new searches requires an active Swoop trial or plan. New workspaces can choose a $1, three-day limited trial with no automatic renewal in billing settings. Connecting does not charge you or start a trial, and existing workspace allowances apply.

Open Swoop in Claude’s directory and choose Connect.
Sign in or create a Swoop account. Google sign-in is available; email signup requires verification. Keep the connection tab open while verifying your email in the same browser.
Approve workspace access. If you have one workspace, it is selected for you. If you have none, choose Create workspace and connect. Optional searches can also be configured later in chat.
Return to Claude. In a chat, enable Swoop under + → Connectors, then send the first message below.

Add Swoop manually

If the directory connection is unavailable, open Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, name it Swoop, and enter:

https://getswoop.ai/api/plugin/mcp

Leave advanced OAuth client ID and secret fields blank, then choose Add → Connect and follow the steps above.

For a Claude Team or Enterprise account, an organization owner may need to add the connector under organization settings first. Each member then signs in to their own Swoop account.

Get your first result

Send this after Claude reports that Swoop is connected:

Check my Swoop connection status. Help me monitor my company or topic and find my first relevant posts. Ask before starting a scan. If a trial or plan is needed, show the workspace billing link and explain the next step.

Complete any trial purchase yourself, then return to the same chat and ask Claude to check the connection status again. You do not need to disconnect and reconnect just to activate monitoring. If the first scan is still running, ask Claude to check its progress; if there are no matches, try a broader query.

More things to try

“I help independent accountants automate client onboarding. Set up Swoop and find my first opportunities.”
“Use Swoop to brief me on the last 24 hours. Which conversations deserve attention? Cite the posts and flag stale evidence.”
“Search Swoop's monitored conversations from the last seven days. What customer needs keep coming up?”
“Read this conversation and my workspace's writing context. Draft a helpful reply and show it to me before saving.”
“Suggest which new conversations to archive. Ask me before changing their status.”

What Claude can access

You authorize one workspace. Claude can read its business and writing context, monitored public posts, cached replies, recommendations, drafts, and inbox status. If market setup is unfinished, Claude can ask what you want to monitor, build the profile, and start Swoop's first scan. It can save drafts and change statuses when you request it. These changes appear in the shared workspace inbox.

Briefing and search tools work with posts Swoop has already collected. The setup tool can start Swoop's bounded first-scan workflow using your existing allowance; it does not provide arbitrary live search. The connector does not publish replies, send messages, access private DMs, or purchase anything. You review and publish replies yourself. Your existing Swoop monitoring and plan limits apply.

Disconnect or troubleshoot

In Swoop, open Organization settings → AI agents to disconnect your agent connections for the current workspace. This revokes your connector access for that workspace without deleting saved drafts. You can also remove Swoop from Claude's connector settings.

If connection fails, verify your email in the same browser and return to the original connection tab. Choose Continue after verification, or sign in there if verification opened in another browser. If you cannot select a workspace, confirm your membership with its owner. An inactive trial or plan can pause monitoring without requiring you to disconnect. Market setup itself can be completed in Claude. If an authorization request expires, restart it from Claude. If Swoop reports that a conversation changed, ask Claude to read it again before saving an edit.

Swoop records connection milestones and write-tool names, outcomes, and timestamps. Activity records do not contain your prompts or draft text; workspace edits are recorded in the audit log. Anthropic processes data shared with Claude under its own terms and privacy policy. See Swoop's privacy policy.
