Calven MCP
OfficialEnables GitHub Copilot in VS Code to connect to Calven's MCP server, giving users access to approved ICP, positioning, messaging, competitive intel, personas, call notes, win/loss data, and CRM accounts/deals with sources.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Calven MCPReview this landing-page draft against our buyer personas."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Calven is the AI product marketing platform. Its nine agents keep one GTM source of truth on your market, buyers, positioning and messaging. Calven MCP puts it inside Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Copilot and other MCP clients that sign in with OAuth (see client support), so sales, marketing, product and leadership work from the same answers your team approved. The plugin adds workflows for battlecards, deal prep, quality reviews, on-message drafts, customer evidence, ICP checks, market research, product intelligence, and live win/loss and ICP pipeline dashboards.
Connect
Paste this URL where your client asks for an MCP server, choose OAuth if asked, and sign in to Calven:
https://api.calven.ai/mcpYou need a Calven workspace (14-day trial, no card). Using another client? See client support.
Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL (name it Calven if asked), Add, then Connect and sign in to Calven. If the dialog asks how Claude identifies itself, choose Use Claude's published identity; automatic (dynamic) registration does not work with Calven. In a chat, turn Calven on under + → Connectors.
On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds the connector once: Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web, paste the URL, Add. Each member then opens Customize → Connectors, finds Calven with the Custom label, and clicks Connect.
Open Plugins in ChatGPT (chatgpt.com/plugins), select the plus button, then Add custom MCP server. Name it Calven, enter the URL as the Server URL, choose OAuth, accept the risk warning and select Create as a plugin. Install Calven from your personal plugins, then type @ in a chat and select it. Your plan and workspace settings decide whether you can add custom MCP servers; see OpenAI's Add custom MCP server guide.
Or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{ "mcpServers": { "calven": { "url": "https://api.calven.ai/mcp" } } }Or command palette → MCP: Add Server → HTTP, paste the URL, name it calven.
Register the server, then sign in. Each login opens your browser for the Calven sign-in.
claude mcp add --transport http calven https://api.calven.ai/mcp
claude mcp login calven
codex mcp add calven --url https://api.calven.ai/mcp
codex mcp login calvenInside a Claude Code session, you can instead run /mcp, select calven and follow the browser sign-in.

What it reads, and what it won't do
Your assistant reads, with sources: positioning, messaging, ICP and product brief; competitor dossiers and battlecards; personas; calls, customer quotes and win/loss; market trends; Insights dashboards; and CRM accounts and deals where your workspace allows it.
Results carry their sources. An empty result says nothing is recorded. Calven does no web search, and its server instructions tell the model not to fill gaps from its own knowledge.
Thirteen read tools and one review action, listed in the tool catalog, plus four server prompts. The action,
review_against_personas, starts a review task in Calven and returns findings. No tool edits your workspace content, and nothing is published or sent.Your permissions. Each user signs in as themselves and sees only what their Calven role allows. Admins decide whether transcripts and pipeline are readable over MCP. Removing a user removes their MCP access.
Answers contain your company's confidential data. Use an AI client and model provider your organization has approved. Seedata handling.

The plugin
The Calven plugin bundles the server connection with thirteen workflow skills and a research subagent. Install it in Claude Code:
claude plugin marketplace add calven-ai/calven-mcp
claude plugin install calven@calvenThen run /calven:start to check the connection and get three first prompts built from your workspace.
Type | Name | What you get |
Skill |
| Where you win and lose against a named competitor: objections, proof and a talk track |
Skill |
| A one-page call brief: buying group, the competitor's likely moves, the risk, the first question, the proof |
Skill |
| An asset reviewed before it ships: every claim checked, on-message fit, what a product change left stale, and a persona review |
Skill |
| Your copy reviewed against your personas, findings by severity |
Skill |
| Copy written from your approved messaging, accuracy-checked and persona-tested before you get it |
Skill |
| Verbatim customer quotes, themes and proof points on a topic, each with its source |
Skill |
| A list of accounts checked against your ICP: fit, partial or no fit, and why |
Skill |
| A live dashboard of how much of your pipeline and wins fit the ICP, and where to focus |
Skill |
| A live win/loss dashboard for a month or quarter, every rate with its sample size |
Skill |
| A sourced market briefing: trends, opportunities, growing verticals and the latest signals |
Skill |
| What changed in your product and which published assets now contradict it |
Skill |
| A sourced summary of your positioning, messaging, ICP and evidence |
Skill |
| Connection check and what your workspace can answer (runs only when you type it) |
Subagent |
| Gathers evidence from several Calven sources and keeps large results out of your conversation |
Skills load on their own when a request matches, except start, which runs only when typed; you can type any of them. The two dashboard skills publish a live page that reads Calven each time it opens: an artifact in Claude, a Site in ChatGPT. Cursor installs it from its own manifest, and clients that implement Agent Plugins can import the skills and the server connection. Contents, formats and how the workflows are tested: plugin.
