AI client setup
Add MeasureScale to ChatGPT, Claude or another AI client, approve access and check that it works.
You add MeasureScale to your AI assistant once. Every assistant uses the same MeasureScale address. Only the place you enter it changes.
The address to enter
https://mcp.measurescale.com/mcp
Copy it exactly, including /mcp at the end.
Assistants change their menus often. If a step below does not match your screen, search your assistant’s help for “custom connector”.
ChatGPT
Add MeasureScale to ChatGPT yourself:
- In ChatGPT, open the connector settings.
- Turn on developer mode if your plan needs it.
- Add a remote MCP server with the name
MeasureScaleand the address above. - Approve access on the MeasureScale page that opens. See approve access.
Claude
Add MeasureScale to Claude as a custom connector:
- In Claude, open the connector settings.
- Add a custom connector.
- Enter the name
MeasureScaleand the address above. - Choose to connect.
- Approve access on the MeasureScale page that opens. See approve access.
Which plan do I need?
Your AI provider decides which of its plans allow custom connectors. OpenAI decides this for ChatGPT. Anthropic decides this for Claude. Check your provider’s plan details if you cannot find the connector settings.
Gemini
Add MeasureScale in a Gemini app that supports custom connectors.
- The consumer Gemini app supports this only in some regions. It is for users 18 and over with personal Google accounts.
- In Gemini Enterprise, an administrator adds MeasureScale for the organization.
Approve access
The first time your assistant connects, it opens a MeasureScale page titled Authorize an AI app.
- Sign in to MeasureScale if the page asks you to.
- Connect Google if you have not done so. The page shows Connect Google to continue until you do.
- Check the assistant’s name and the list under It will be able to.
- Choose Approve.
You must confirm your email address before you can approve. Open the sign-in link in your inbox to confirm it.
The page shows a label for each assistant:
- Verified app means MeasureScale registered the assistant in advance.
- Unverified app means the assistant registered itself when it connected.
- Client hosted at shows the web address that describes the assistant.
How long an approval lasts
Your assistant renews its access on its own, so you do not approve it every day. The approval ends after 30 days without use. It always ends after 90 days. After that, your assistant opens the approval page again.
An approval keeps the access you chose. To give an assistant permission to make changes, approve it again and allow changes. See read and write tools.
Remove an assistant
- In the portal, open AI apps.
- Find the assistant. The list shows its access, when you approved it and when it was last used.
- Choose Revoke, then Revoke access.
The assistant loses access at once.
Check the connection
- Ask your assistant “Which properties can you see in MeasureScale?”.
- Check that it lists your sites.
If it cannot find MeasureScale, read your assistant can’t find MeasureScale or a tool. If it finds MeasureScale but not your site, read you don’t see your website.
Other AI clients and developer options
This section is for developer tools and custom setups. Your client must support remote MCP servers.
Claude Code
Run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http measurescale https://mcp.measurescale.com/mcp
Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and authenticate MeasureScale. Approve access on the page that opens in your browser. You can add the server for one project or for all your projects. Your MeasureScale sign-in belongs to your account, not to the project.
Cursor
Add MeasureScale to your Cursor mcp.json file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"measurescale": { "url": "https://mcp.measurescale.com/mcp" }
}
}
VS Code
Add MeasureScale to your VS Code mcp.json file:
{
"servers": {
"measurescale": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.measurescale.com/mcp" }
}
}
Cursor and VS Code read different keys. Check your editor’s MCP help if the keys have changed.
Clients that cannot open the approval page
Some scripts and clients cannot show a browser page. Use an API key for these. Only an account owner with a confirmed email can create one.
- In the portal, open API keys.
- Create a key and give it a Name.
- Choose the Scope. Choose Read only unless the client must change your MeasureScale data.
- Choose when it Expires: Never, In 30 days, In 90 days or In 1 year.
- Under Properties, allow all properties or only the ones you choose.
- Choose Create key.
- Copy the key. The portal shows it only once.
- Enter the key in your client’s settings for MeasureScale.
A key limited to some properties works only for those properties.
To stop a key working, open API keys, choose Revoke on the key, then Revoke key. Requests with it fail at once.
