FAQs
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that enables AI assistants, such as Claude, to connect directly to external tools and data sources. Instead of copying and pasting data into a chat, MCP lets Claude securely fetch live data from a platform such as CleverTap and act on it in real time, all within the same conversation.
Does enabling the connector in Settings automatically activate it in every chat?
No. You need to turn it on per chat. Click the + icon in the chat input, open Connectors, and toggle CleverTap ON for each new session.
Is it possible to work with multiple CleverTap projects in one chat session?
Yes. Claude can list all projects linked to your account and switch context between them within the same session when you specify the project or region by name.
