Dr. Canary

The bird perches in Claude Code.

Connect Dr. Canary to Claude Code in two steps, in Claude Code’s own labels.

The path ends at the Dr. Canary sign-in, where you see what the connection can read and change before you approve it. Then ask your assistant to list your Dr. Canary sites.

What you approve at the Dr. Canary sign-in

The page is titled Connect Claude Code. Sign-in returns to an address on your own device. Start sign-in and finish it on the same device. It says the connection uses your full Dr. Canary account permissions, then lists what it can do.

  • Read your account: the sites, saved shoppers, checks and reports you can already access.
  • Manage secret shoppers: create or edit them, set their calendar, or retire them. Saving does not start a check.
  • Request site checks: checks may submit test inquiries and use your current allowance.

Choose Allow connection to finish, or Deny to stop.

  • It reads what the report shows. Hidden prompts, internal notes, and other accounts stay out.

Questions

Where do I add Dr. Canary in Claude Code?

In your terminal, with claude mcp add and the HTTP transport. Then run /mcp inside Claude Code to authenticate.

Which URL do I paste?

Paste https://www.drcanary.com/api/mcp/. It is the same server URL for every app.

It did not open the Dr. Canary sign-in.

Run /mcp, select dr-canary, and authenticate. Finish sign-in in the browser on the same device you run Claude Code on.

How do I disconnect Claude Code?

Claude Code’s /mcp holds the connection controls for dr-canary. Disconnecting does not delete what Claude Code already received.

Give your assistant something to read.

A checkup is one report. Monitoring keeps the bird shopping your site on a schedule, so there is a fresh report every time you ask.
