Claude.ai supports SeekOut MCP as a custom connector. Personal users add the connector in their settings. For Team and Enterprise workspaces, an Owner or Primary Owner adds it for the organization before members authenticate.

​
Prerequisites

  • An active SeekOut account
  • A Claude.ai account (Free, Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise)

​
Setup

1

Open Add custom connector

Open Add custom connector in Claude.
2

Enter the MCP server URL

3

Sign in to SeekOut

When prompted, sign in with your SeekOut account to authorize the connection.
4

Start using SeekOut MCP

Open a new conversation and try:

Troubleshooting

​
Claude repeatedly asks you to approve SeekOut tools

Claude asks for permission before running connector tools, and choosing Always allow in the prompt applies only to the specific tool that triggered it. To stop repeated prompts, pre-approve the SeekOut tools in your settings:
  1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Find the SeekOut connector and open its tool configuration.
  3. Set each SeekOut tool to Always allow.
Keep the following in mind:
  • The setting is per user. Each member of a Team or Enterprise workspace configures it individually.
  • Disconnecting and reconnecting the SeekOut connector can reset tool permissions to the default, so recheck them after reconnecting.

​
”Unable to reach SeekOut App”

This error usually indicates a stale Claude desktop app rather than a SeekOut outage. Restart the Claude desktop app and install any pending update, then retry your request.

​
SeekOut results render as plain text instead of interactive views

If interactive SeekOut buttons or result views stop appearing, disconnect and reconnect the SeekOut connector in Settings → Connectors, then recheck your tool permissions.

​
You connected an older SeekOut connector

If your connector list shows an older SeekOut entry, remove it and add the current connector using the MCP server URL in the setup steps above.

​
SeekOut shows “Blocked by your admin” after enabling HIPAA Compliance in Claude Enterprise

When your organization enables HIPAA Compliance in Claude Enterprise, Anthropic blocks custom connectors by default. SeekOut appears as “Blocked by your admin,” and reconnecting does not restore access. To re-enable SeekOut, ask your Claude administrator to contact their Anthropic account team and request that the SeekOut connector be permitted within your HIPAA-compliant workspace.
