Dr. Canary

Give Claude a bird’s-eye view.

Connect Dr. Canary to Claude in three steps, in Claude’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. Sign-in returns to claude.ai. 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.

Ask your assistant

If Claude loses the connection

  1. Give Claude the chance to renew an expired sign-in on its own first.

  2. If it cannot, reconnect Dr. Canary from Claude’s connection settings, under Customize › Connectors.

  3. Reconnecting does not grant access your account does not have.

The connection

  • Server URLhttps://www.drcanary.com/api/mcp/
  • Scopemcp
  • TransportStreamable HTTP
  • Sign-inOAuth 2.1 with PKCE, your Dr. Canary account

What it does not do

  • Your account’s permissions apply. What you cannot do in the portal, your assistant cannot do either.
  • Your assistant follows its app’s approval controls for changes and checks.
  • It reads what the report shows. Hidden prompts, internal notes, and other accounts stay out.

Questions

Where is the setting in Claude?

Customize › Connectors, on claude.ai. Choose Add custom connector, then Web.

Which URL do I paste?

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

What is Claude’s published identity?

It is the option the setup asks you to select. Dr. Canary recognises Claude by its published identity, so you do not register anything yourself.

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

Select Sign in now when you add the connector. Then sign in to Dr. Canary and choose Allow connection.

How do I disconnect Claude?

From Claude’s connection settings, under Customize › Connectors. Disconnecting does not delete what Claude 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.
