Connect Claude to AXL
One command in Claude Code, or one custom connector in Claude. Then a browser sign-in, with no key to paste, and Claude has tools over your CRM, sites, courses, automations and email.
1 · Add the server
We recommend Claude in Code mode for work that spans several steps: it handles the browser sign-in cleanly and keeps context between calls.
claude mcp add axl --transport http https://app.axl.tech/mcp
In Claude, open Customize → Connectors, click Add custom connector, paste https://app.axl.tech/mcp and click Add. Claude Desktop, if it is not offering an HTTP connector, goes through mcp-remote instead.
Menu path checked against Claude's own documentation. It is somebody else's UI and it moves.
2 · Sign in
Your browser opens on an AXL consent screen. It names the client that asked and shows which account the agent will act as; if you administer more than one, switch there before approving. What the client receives is an ordinary admin access token scoped to that account, which is why the agent inherits your permissions rather than a separate set.
3 · Ask for something
“Show me my five most recent contacts, then tell me what you can build in this account.”
Claude's first call is an orientation map of the platform; it navigates to the right operation from there. Ask for something bigger once you have watched it do that. See the jobs an agent finishes end to end.
Review the school and access request before you approve the connection.
If it does not work
- •Added, but no tools appear. Tools arrive after sign-in. Run any prompt that needs the account and the browser flow starts.
- •The browser never opened. The client registers itself first, and that step fails quietly if the URL is not exactly the endpoint. Re-check it, then remove and re-add the server.
- •Approval failed with “no school”. The token is scoped to an account and you have not created one yet. Finish that, then connect.
Claude acts as you, with your permissions, in one account. It writes without publishing (publishing and sending are separate steps you ask for), and 21 sensitive operations are not on its surface at all. What an agent can never do →
