Click Settings from the menu.

5

Done

You’ll see Erlin appear in your connectors list. From now on, Claude can access your brand data whenever you ask.

​
Enabling Erlin in a conversation

In any chat, click the ”+” button next to the message input → Connectors → toggle Erlin on.

​
For Team and Enterprise plans

An Owner must first add the connector to the organization:
  1. Navigate to Organization settings → Connectors
  2. Click “Add” → hover over “Custom” → select “Web”
  3. Enter the URL: https://mcp.erlin.ai/mcp
  4. Click “Add”
Then each team member goes to their own Settings → Connectors and clicks Connect next to the Erlin connector.
No API keys or config files needed. Claude connects to Erlin’s remote MCP server from Anthropic’s cloud — it works across claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and mobile.

​
Alternative: Claude Code (CLI)

For developers using Claude Code, run this in your terminal: 
claude mcp add erlin-brand-visibility \
  --transport http \
  --url https://mcp.erlin.ai/mcp \
  --header "X-API-Key: ek_live_your_key_here"
Get your API key from Account → MCP Integration in the Erlin dashboard.

​
Alternative: Claude Desktop (JSON config)

If you prefer manual configuration, add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "erlin-brand-visibility": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.erlin.ai/mcp",
        "--header",
        "X-API-Key:${ERLIN_API_KEY}"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ERLIN_API_KEY": "ek_live_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
Get your API key from Account → MCP Integration in the Erlin dashboard. Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

​
Verify your connection

After setup, ask your AI assistant:
“List my Erlin websites”
If you see your tracked websites, you’re all set.

​
Team access

If your organization uses Claude for Work, your admin can add Erlin once and everyone on the team gets access automatically. No per-user setup needed.
