Connect your AI assistant to Deacon
Deacon is a standard remote MCP server, so any assistant that supports MCP works. Add this address as a connector, then sign in with your email. No token or key to copy.

Chat apps
ChatGPT
- In ChatGPT open Settings → Connectors → Advanced and turn on Developer mode. It is limited to some plans, and on Business and Enterprise an admin may need to allow it first.
- Back in Connectors choose Create. Name it, paste the server URL, and set authentication to OAuth.
- Start a chat, open the + menu, choose Developer mode and switch the connector on. Sign in to Deacon when asked.
Claude (web, Desktop, mobile)
- Use claude.ai in a browser or Claude Desktop. Custom connectors can’t be added from the mobile app, but once added they work there too.
- Open Settings → Connectors (newer versions label it Customize → Connectors) and choose Add custom connector.
- Paste the server URL and add it. Sign in to Deacon when the window opens, then switch the connector on in a chat.
The free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an organization owner adds it first, then each member clicks Connect.
Perplexity
- Open Settings → Connectors and choose + Custom connector, then Remote. It needs a paid plan, and on Enterprise an admin must allow it.
- Enter a name and the server URL, choose Streamable HTTP if asked, and set authentication to OAuth.
- Finish the Deacon sign-in in the browser tab, then enable the connector in a thread.
Mistral Le Chat
- In Le Chat open the side panel, then Intelligence → Connectors, and choose + Add Connector.
- Switch to the Custom MCP Connector tab, enter a name and the server URL, and choose Connect.
- Sign in to Deacon, then enable the connector in a new chat. Adding one needs an admin on team workspaces.

{
"mcpServers": {

Any other MCP client
Add a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) with the URL above. Sign-in uses standard OAuth, so there is no token or key to copy. If your client only supports local (stdio) servers, bridge it with npx mcp-remote https://deacon.kecker.co/mcp.
