Claude and ChatGPT can run the same Engagement Engine research you already use in the web app and the Chrome extension. You connect once, sign in with your Habits account, and then ask in the chat.
Who can connect
You need an active Habits advisor account. Sign in with the phone number on that account. Google, or email and password, are under Other options on the sign-in page. A consumer phone number cannot connect.
The address
Both products use the same address: https://ee-mcp.usehabits.com/mcp. Leave any client ID or client secret blank. Habits registers the connection when you sign in.
Claude
- Open Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.
- Name it Habits Engagement Engine.
- Paste the address above.
- Leave the client ID and secret empty, then sign in with your Habits phone number and the text code.
On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings, then Connectors. Members then open it and choose Connect.
ChatGPT
Add it in ChatGPT on the web. The phone app cannot add a custom connector.
- Open Plugins, then the plus button, then Add custom MCP server.
- Name it Habits Engagement Engine and paste the address above.
- Set authentication to OAuth. Leave the client ID and secret empty.
- Install it. In a new chat, type @, choose Habits Engagement Engine, and sign in with your Habits phone number.
A workspace admin may need to allow custom connectors before members can add one.
What you can ask for
- A brief on a person or a company.
- A report you already ran.
- Meeting prep for a client linked to your Habits account, including recent signals and what is still missing before the meeting.
New research uses your daily Engagement Engine tokens. You can ask how many you have left before you start a long run.
The web app and the Chrome extension stay the same. This is another way to ask for that research. See Engagement Engine 101 and Chrome Extension 101.
