Set up Claude

Connect it once, check it for free, then pick the model for a whole client case.

  1. 1.

    Open Settings. Under Customize, click Connectors.

    Claude Settings with Connectors selected under Customize. (opens full size in a new tab)
  2. 2.

    Click + Add, then Add custom connector. Name it Annuities Genius, paste this address and click Continue.

    https://app.annuitiesgenius.com/mcp

    Select the text and copy it.

    A window then shows the sign-in settings Claude found. Click Continue there, then Add.

    Claude Connectors with the + Add menu open and Add custom connector in it. (opens full size in a new tab)
  3. 3.

    If Claude asks you to sign in, use your Annuities Genius login.

  4. 4.

    Check it for free. Open a new chat, paste this question and send it.

    Using Annuities Genius, tell me which account you're connected to and what you can do for me.

    Select the text and copy it.

    Claude names your account. Looking up your own data is free.

    New Claude chat with the test question pasted in the message box, ready to send. (opens full size in a new tab)
  5. 5.

    In a team organization, Claude asks before each call. Click Allow once.

    Read-only requests, such as your credit balance, also offer Always allow. Quotes and illustrations do not.

  6. 6.

    For a whole client case, click the model name under the message box. Pick Sonnet or Opus, then set Effort to Extra.

    The name now ends in Extra. Haiku suits quick questions, not a whole case.

    Claude model menu open under the message box: Opus and Sonnet in the list, Effort set to Extra. (opens full size in a new tab)
You're done when the model name ends in Extra.
Watch out: Is Add custom connector grayed out? Claude shows “Ask an organization owner to add this for your team”. Your owner has to add it.
