Claude Connector
The Economic Mind Claude Connector lets users query Economic Mind data directly from within Claude conversations. This document describes how the integration works, how to install it, and how authentication and access are handled.
Adding the connector
Installing the connector requires no code, no secrets, and no API keys. The steps differ slightly depending on your Claude plan.
CLAUDE PRO AND MAX
On Pro and Max, users can add the connector themselves without admin approval.
CLAUDE TEAM AND ENTERPRISE
On Team and Enterprise, only a Claude Administrator can add custom connectors for the organization. The administrator's role here is similar to whitelisting a domain for the organization: they approve and install the connector, but they do not provision or share credentials on behalf of individual users.
Administrators have two options:
Option A — Magic link (recommended)
Open the following link while signed in to Claude as an Administrator. The connector details are pre-filled; just review and confirm:
https://claude.ai/admin-settings/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Economic%20Mind&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.economicmind.com%2FmcpOption B — Manual setup
Once saved, users in the workspace can activate the connector individually under Settings → Connectors.
Authentication
Each user authenticates the connector individually with their existing Economic Mind account, using a standard OAuth flow. Claude never receives or stores user credentials, and no credentials are shared between users. When a user first activates the connector in Claude, they sign in with their own Economic Mind account. Access rights, logging, and revocation therefore remain at the individual user level.
Security and privacy
READ-ONLY
All currently exposed tools are read-only. The connector cannot create, modify, or delete data in Economic Mind.
LOGGING
Economic Mind logs standard access data for each request: timestamp, authenticated user, tool invoked, inputs to the tool request, and response status. Economic Mind does not see or log the prompts users write to Claude — only the structured inputs passed to the tool itself. Log exports are available on request.
REVOCATION
Access can be revoked at three independent levels:
DATA HANDLING
Query responses are returned to Claude for the user's conversation and are not retained by Economic Mind beyond the standard access logs noted above.
Available tools
The connector exposes the following tools. All are read-only and operate within the authenticated user's permissions.
1. Search Companies
Searches the Economic Mind company index by name or description.
2. Get Company Financials
Fetches yearly P&L financial data for a specified company (read access).
We are actively working on expanding the set of available tools.
FAQ
Do we need an API key?
No. The connector uses per-user login through the standard Economic Mind authentication flow. There is no shared API key to provision or rotate.
Can we restrict which employees can use it?
Yes. Access is gated both by Claude workspace controls (which users have access to the connector) and by whether the user has an Economic Mind account.
Can the connector modify or delete data?
No. All currently exposed tools are read-only.
How do we turn it off organization-wide?
A Claude Administrator removes the connector in Organization settings → Connectors. The change takes effect immediately.
What happens if a user leaves the company?
Disabling their Economic Mind account revokes their connector access, though actual cutoff may take some time depending on token expiry.
