Connect Tekst via Claude – Tekst

Tekst provides a remote MCP server that gives your AI assistant direct access to your Tekst data. This means you can ask questions about your processes, integrations, automations, analytics, and AI models - and get answers grounded in your actual Tekst workspace.

This guide explains how to connect your Tekst account to any MCP-compatible AI client.

Before you begin

A Tekst admin must enable MCP access for your workspace first. In Tekst, go to Settings > Security, find the Model Context Protocol (MCP) section, and turn on Enable Model Context Protocol (MCP). Users cannot connect until this setting is on.

Once MCP is enabled, each user still needs to add the Tekst connector to their AI platform and authenticate with their own Tekst credentials. Follow the connection steps below for your specific client.

Prerequisites

Before connecting, make sure you have:

An active Tekst account with access to the workspace you want to connect
An AI assistant or platform that supports MCP (such as Claude or Microsoft Copilot Studio)
MCP enabled in your Tekst workspace (see above)

Tekst MCP server URL

The Tekst MCP server is available at:

https://mcp.tekst.com

Use this URL when configuring the connection in your MCP client. The server uses the Streamable HTTP transport.

Connect via Claude

Claude.ai

Go to Claude.ai and sign in.
Go to Customize and open the Connectors section.
Click +, then select Add custom connector.

Enter Tekst as the name and https://mcp.tekst.com as the server URL. You do not need to provide any OAuth credentials - leave those fields empty.

Click Add, then click Connect.
You will be redirected to the Tekst login page. Sign in with your Tekst credentials and authorize access.

Claude Desktop

The steps for Claude Desktop are the same as for Claude.ai - follow the Claude.ai steps above.

Claude Code

Open your terminal and run the following command:

claude mcp add --transport http tekst https://mcp.tekst.com

Start Claude Code by running claude in your terminal.
Type /mcp to open the MCP management menu. Tekst appears in the list with a warning that it needs authentication.

Select Authenticate and follow the prompts to sign in with your Tekst credentials in your browser.

Connect via other MCP clients

Most MCP-compatible AI clients follow a similar pattern:

Open your client's settings or integrations page.
Add a new MCP server with the URL https://mcp.tekst.com.
Select Streamable HTTP as the transport type if prompted.
When prompted for authentication, select OAuth 2.0. The Tekst MCP server supports OAuth 2.0 with dynamic client registration, so your client can automatically discover the required endpoints.
You will be redirected to the Tekst login page. Sign in with your Tekst credentials and authorize access.
Once authorized, the Tekst tools become available in your conversations.

For platform-specific instructions, see Connect Tekst to Microsoft Copilot Studio.

Authentication and security

The Tekst MCP integration uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE for secure authentication. When you connect, you sign in through the standard Tekst login page - your credentials are never shared with your AI assistant.

Key security details:

Your AI assistant receives a scoped access token that only allows read access to your workspace
Your session is tied to a single workspace and cannot access other workspaces
Sessions expire after 30 minutes of inactivity
You can disconnect the integration at any time from your AI client's settings

What happens after connecting

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant questions about your Tekst workspace in natural language. For example:

"What processes do I have in Tekst?"
"Show me the automation execution history for my email routing flow"
"How many tickets were processed last week?"

Your AI assistant will use the Tekst MCP tools to retrieve the relevant data and provide you with answers.
