Set up seenpaid in Claude.ai

Claude.ai is Claude in the browser, at claude.ai. In the browser Claude has no way to reach your social accounts. A custom connector changes that: you add seenpaid’s URL once, sign in, and Claude can schedule and check posts from any chat.

Four steps

How to connect Claude.ai to seenpaid

No key to copy — you sign in to seenpaid instead.

  1. 1

    Have your seenpaid account ready

    No API key needed: Claude.ai signs in to seenpaid with OAuth, and the sign-in decides which workspace it can act on. Start a trial first if you do not have an account.

  2. 2

    Add seenpaid to Claude.ai

    Open Customize → Connectors, press + and choose Add custom connector (on Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors). Paste the URL, leave the OAuth client fields empty, click Add, then Connect and sign in to seenpaid.

    Connector URL
    https://api.seenpaid.com/mcp

    Checked against the official docs: support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166 — custom connectors on Free (one), Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise; advanced settings take only an OAuth client ID and secret.

  3. 3

    Restart and verify

    The connector shows as connected. In a new chat, open the tools menu and make sure seenpaid is enabled.

  4. 4

    Ask for your first post

    Start with “Which of my social accounts are connected?” — Claude.ai calls list_accounts and names your channels. If none are connected yet, ask for a connect link: that one step needs you in a browser.

Try asking

First things to ask Claude.ai

Plain requests. Under each one, the seenpaid tools Claude.ai calls to answer it.

  • Which of my social accounts are connected?

    Callslist_accounts

  • Write a short post announcing our new pricing and schedule it to LinkedIn for Thursday at 9am.

    Callsschedule_post

  • Make a 4-slide carousel from this blog post.

    Callsgenerate_carousel

  • What did my last ten posts earn?

    Callsget_post_revenue needs revenue tracking

Revenue tracking is optional and off by default. Scheduling works without it. Every tool →

Troubleshooting

If it does not connect

401 Unauthorized

The request reached seenpaid but no valid credential came with it. Check the key starts with sp_, was not revoked, and is sent as “Authorization: Bearer sp_…” with the word Bearer and one space. seenpaid also answers 401 when the workspace has no active trial or plan, even with a correct key.

Wrong URL, or the server never connects

The endpoint is exactly https://api.seenpaid.com/mcp — not seenpaid.com, and not an /sse URL. seenpaid speaks Streamable HTTP only; a client set to SSE will not connect. Opening the URL in a browser shows a short explainer page, which is expected.

OAuth or API key — which one?

Config files and command-line clients send the sp_ key as a header. Connector screens in apps (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Grok) have no key field: they sign in to seenpaid with OAuth instead. Never paste your key into an OAuth client ID or secret field.

Where do I paste my sp_ key?

Nowhere. Browser connectors authenticate with OAuth — the sign-in screen is how seenpaid knows which workspace to act on. Keys are for config files and CLIs.

I cannot add a second connector

Anthropic limits Free accounts to one custom connector. Remove the other one, or use Claude Code or Claude Desktop with a key.

FAQ

Claude.ai and seenpaid, answered

Not on its own — it has no credentials for your accounts. Connected to seenpaid’s MCP server it can schedule and publish to the 21 platforms seenpaid supports, and report back per platform what went out.

Open Customize → Connectors, press + and choose Add custom connector (on Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors). Paste the URL, leave the OAuth client fields empty, click Add, then Connect and sign in to seenpaid.

Use all 50 seenpaid tools: schedule, edit and cancel posts, check each platform’s limits before publishing, generate images and carousels, and read what published. Revenue tools (which post made money) work only if you switch on revenue tracking, which is optional and off by default.

No. MCP access is included on every seenpaid plan and in the 7-day trial.

It acts through a key or sign-in scoped to one seenpaid workspace; an API key can be revoked in Settings at any time. No tool returns your social passwords or platform tokens, and it cannot connect a new account on its own: it hands you a link and you sign in.
