Connect Ophir to Claude

In this guide, you’ll learn to connect Ophir with Claude.

Before you start

  • A Claude account. Any plan works, including Free. Free accounts can add one custom connector, so if you’ve already added one, remove it or upgrade first.
  • An Ophir account with early access — Ophir is in pre-beta. You’ll sign in near the end, and that sign-in is what authorizes the connection.

Add Ophir to Claude

  1. 1
    Open your connectors list. In the sidebar, choose Customize, then Connectors, then Yours. That last tab is the one that matters — Discover lists what Anthropic ships, while Yours is where a connector you add yourself ends up. Anything already listed here can stay and Ophir will join it. On Free, that’s only true if none of them is a custom connector you added yourself.

    Customize → Connectors → Yours.
  2. 2
    Start a custom connection. Click Add in the top right, then choose Add custom connector.
    The Add button opened, showing the Add custom connector option
    Add → Add custom connector.
  3. 3
    Name it and point it at Ophir. Two boxes, in order:
    • The first is the name shown in your connectors list — Ophir
    • The second is the server address — https://mcp.askophir.ai/mcp

    Then click Continue.

    The Add custom connector dialog with Ophir entered as the name and the MCP URL below it
    Name, then address, then Continue.
  4. 4
    Leave the sign-in settings alone. Claude inspects the server and fills this screen in for you — both of the options you want should already be chosen, each marked Detected. Confirm them rather than changing them:
    • Under Authentication, Sign in now
    • Under OAuth client, Register automatically

    Ignore Request headers and Advanced. Scroll to the bottom and click Add.

    The connector settings screen showing Sign in now and Register automatically both selected and marked Detected
    Both defaults are already right — scroll down and Add.
  5. 5
    Connect. Ophir is in your list now, but not yet live — it has a Connect button beside it, same as every other connector. Click it. You’ll land on askophir.ai, where we check that you’re signed in and your subscription is active. Follow the prompts and Claude picks up where you left off.
Don’t see Ophir yet? Fully quit and reopen Claude. New connectors usually appear after a fresh start.
One connection, every app. That address isn’t Claude-specific. Add it in ChatGPT too and both apps reach the same account, the same subscription, and the same trader profile — nothing to keep in sync.

Your first question

Open a chat and ask something you’d normally pull up a terminal for. Ophir answers with real figures and draws the chart alongside them:

Try asking
“Ask Ophir what the market closed at yesterday.”

When Claude reaches for Ophir

One thing worth knowing before you start. Some apps let you aim a question at a particular connector — Claude doesn’t. There is no mention, no toggle that forces the issue. Ophir is a tool like any other in Claude’s kit, and Claude decides, prompt by prompt, whether to reach for one.

In practice that works out well. Name an instrument, a timeframe, or a level and Claude usually calls Ophir. Ask something broad and it may answer on its own instead. That’s Claude’s judgement call, not a fault in the connection — and naming Ophir in the question is the surest nudge you have. “Ask Ophir how gold has moved this month” leaves nothing to interpret.

Prefer dark charts?

Ophir’s charts follow the app they’re sitting in rather than insisting on one look. Switch Claude’s appearance to Dark in its settings and the next chart renders dark to match — same data, same indicators, dark frame.

You’re connected

From here, the hard part isn’t the setup — it’s asking well. Ophir gives you most when you tell it the instrument, the timeframe you care about, and what you already hold. How to Analyze Any Chart With AI walks through exactly that, step by step. Or skip it, open a chat, and ask the question that’s already on your mind.
