This page is for Pleo users connecting Claude to Pleo. The same steps apply to **Claude Web**, **Claude Desktop**, and **Cowork**.

<NoteCallout title="Pleo isn't in Claude's connector directory yet">
  Searching for Pleo in Claude's connector directory won't find it. You add Pleo yourself as a custom connector, using the Pleo MCP server URL below.
</NoteCallout>

## Prerequisites

Before you begin:

* Pleo MCP access is off by default; a company admin must enable it for your organisation before you can connect. See [Access & Permissions](/docs/current/pleo-mcp/get-started/access-and-permissions) if you're not sure whether it's enabled.
* If your organisation manages Claude through Claude for Work, your Claude admin may have already added Pleo as an organisation-wide connector, or may restrict who can add their own. See [How to Add Pleo MCP as a Custom Connector in Claude](/docs/current/pleo-mcp/how-tos/enablement/claude).

## Steps

Follow the steps below to connect Pleo in Claude.

1. Go to **Customize** in the left-hand menu, then open **Connectors**.

2. If your Claude admin has already added Pleo for your organisation, find the **Pleo** connector in the list and skip to step 5.

3. Click **Add custom connector**, then enter a name (for example, "Pleo") and the Pleo MCP server URL:

```
https://mcp.pleo.io/mcp
```

| Property           | Value                                   |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| **MCP URL**        | `https://mcp.pleo.io/mcp`               |
| **Transport**      | Streamable HTTP                         |
| **Authentication** | OAuth 2.0 (no credentials to configure) |

No Advanced or Auth settings are needed.

4. Add the connector.

5. Click **Connect** for the Pleo connector.

6. Log in to Pleo if needed, then click **Approve**.

You are now connected and can start using Pleo in Claude.

<NoteCallout title="Requiring approval for write actions">
  Claude lets you set permissions per tool. Pleo recommends requiring approval for any tool that writes data, so you see each change before it's made in Pleo.
</NoteCallout>
