Enable the MCP server in COMMITLY
Go to COMMITLY > Add-ons > COMMITLY MCP Server and click the Enable button.
The application switches to the integration page. Copy the endpoint URL. It looks like this: https://app.commitly.com/mcp/YourCompanyName
Add the connector in Claude
Open Claude in a web browser and go to Settings > Connectors > Add > Add custom connector.
Fill in the fields:
Name: any free-text name, for example "YourCompanyName MCP"
Remote MCP server URL: paste the endpoint URL copied in step 1
Click Add.
Authorize
Claude redirects you to the COMMITLY authorization page. Enter your username and password and click the GRANT ACCESS button.
Select the desired company from the list and click the CONNECT button.
After successful authorization, Claude returns to the Connectors page. The newly connected MCP appears in the list with its available functions.
Start a new chat and ask Claude to use the COMMITLY tools, for example:
"List the available COMMITLY tools."
"Show the available MCP functions."
"Give me an overview of my liquidity."
"Give me an overview of bills to be paid."
Important note - Tools do not appear after connecting (Claude Desktop)
After the connector is enabled, Claude Desktop may not yet show the COMMITLY tools even though the connection exists. Reload Claude Desktop (Cmd/Ctrl+R or restart the app) — the tools are then available. In the web version (claude.ai), the tools are available immediately without a reload. This is not an authentication problem: tool calls do not return a 401 here, the list is simply empty.
