Setting Up Claude.ai (Cowork Mode)
If you use Claude through the web at claude.ai or the Claude desktop app's Cowork mode, you can add the Gathering Organiser MCP Server as a remote connector. This works with the hosted HTTP server, so no local installation is needed.
Adding the connector
- Open Claude.ai or the Claude desktop app
- Navigate to Settings > Connectors (or Integrations, depending on your version)
- Click Add Connector or Add MCP Server
- Enter the following details:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Gathering Organiser |
| URL | https://mcp-gatherings.junovy.com/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
- Click Save or Connect
- You'll be redirected to sign in with your Junovy Account via Keycloak
- After signing in, the connector is active and Claude can use the gathering tools
Using the connector
Once connected, you can ask Claude about your gatherings in any conversation. For example:
- "Show me all published gatherings"
- "How many registrations does Beltane 2026 have?"
- "What's the checklist progress for the upcoming gathering?"
Claude will use the appropriate MCP tool to fetch or update the information.
Managing the connector
- To disconnect, go back to Settings > Connectors and remove the Gathering Organiser entry
- If your session expires, Claude will prompt you to re-authenticate
- The connector uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE, so your credentials are never stored by the MCP server; authentication is handled entirely through Keycloak
Tips
- The connector respects the same permissions as the admin panel; you can only manage gatherings you're an organiser for
- If you're using Cowork mode in the Claude desktop app, the connector works the same way as on claude.ai
- You can have the connector active alongside other MCP connectors without any conflicts
