Connect Claude to Mixmax (MCP)

How to connect Claude to the Mixmax MCP server, from Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code.

Beta: The Mixmax MCP server is in beta, available through Mixmax Labs at no extra cost. As it matures, some capabilities may become part of specific Mixmax plans.

Connect Claude to Mixmax and Claude can read your meetings, summaries, and sequences, and (once you turn on the correct permissions) act on them. Setup takes about two minutes.


Before you start

Turn on the MCP server experiment in Mixmax Labs: open Settings & feedback in the sidebar's Mixmax Labs section and toggle the experiment on. Enabling it adds MCP settings to your sidebar, where per-capability permissions live. For how Labs works, see the Mixmax Labs overview article.


What is an MCP?

In short, it's a connector that allows your AI tool, in this case Claude, to pull data from Mixmax. If write permissions are enabled, this connector also allows you to create sequences, send emails, and more, directly from your AI tool.


Connect from Claude.ai or Claude Desktop

Add Mixmax as a custom connector:

  1. In Claude, click Customize in the sidebar (or go to Settings → Connectors).

  2. Click Add, then Add custom connector.

  3. Enter a name (e.g. "Mixmax") and the server URL https://mcp.mixmax.com/mcp, then click Continue.

  4. Mixmax will show as "Not connected." Click on it, then click Connect.

  5. A browser window opens. Sign in to Mixmax and authorize Claude to access the data covered by whatever capabilities you've turned on in MCP settings.


Connect from Claude Code

  1. Run this command in your terminal:

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user mixmax https://mcp.mixmax.com/mcp
  2. Restart Claude Code.

  3. Authenticate when prompted via the OAuth flow.

    1. Tip: If you aren't automatically prompted, ask Claude something that uses Mixmax (e.g., "search my Mixmax sequences") - this triggers the OAuth flow in your browser.

  4. Once connected, Claude can answer questions about your meetings, sequences, and outreach.


Signing in

The first time Claude calls Mixmax, the server answers with a 401. It kicks off the sign-in flow:

  1. A browser window opens to the Mixmax sign-in page.

  2. Sign in and approve access.

  3. Claude retries the original request and your data appears.

You stay signed in after that. You'll only be asked to sign in again periodically, usually after a major Claude update, when new tools become available, after 90+ days of inactivity, or if an admin revokes access.


Questions you can answer with the MCP

Once you're connected, here are some prompts to get you started:

Sequences

  • "Build me a sequence targeting VPs of IT at companies that just raised a Series B."

  • "Who's replied to my Renewal Outreach sequence this week?"

  • "What's the drop-off point in my best-performing sequence, and what's one change that would fix it?"

Meetings

  • "What do I need to know before my call with [contact] today?"

  • "Draft a follow-up for the call I just had with [contact]."

Live Feed (engagement)

  • "Who's opened or clicked anything I've sent in the last 24 hours?"

  • "Has [contact] clicked the pricing link I sent Tuesday?"

  • "What's happened with my outreach since this morning?"

Tasks & reminders

  • "What's on my plate today?"

  • "Set a reminder on this email that only fires if they don't reply by Friday."

  • "Turn my meeting action items into tasks, calls, to-dos, and LinkedIn touches."

Note: Some of these (building or enrolling a sequence, sending email, setting reminders) use write capabilities - turn those on individually in MCP settings first; see "Before you start" above.


Troubleshooting

Symptom

What it means

A tool is missing, or a write returns a permission error

Check your permissions: reads are on by default; writes are opt-in. Turn the capability on in MCP settings in Mixmax.

The Labs experiment card isn't visible

Your admin turned it off or locked it, or the rollout hasn't reached your workspace yet.

401 on the first call

Expected. It triggers the browser sign-in flow.

Asked to sign in again

Happens periodically, usually after an update or 90+ days of inactivity, or when an admin revokes access.

Claude can't see Mixmax at all

Check the experiment is on in Mixmax Labs, then check the connector was added in Claude's settings.
