Claude
Add Aceversity to Claude as a custom connector (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, mobile), to Claude Code, or to your own app through the Claude API's MCP connector.
Claude talks to Aceversity through the MCP server at https://api.aceversity.com/mcp. The member signs in with OAuth, so no keys are pasted anywhere.
claude.ai and Claude Desktop
- In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector. (On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under organization connector settings first.)
- Name:
Aceversity· URL:https://api.aceversity.com/mcp. Leave the OAuth client ID/secret fields empty — Claude registers itself. - Press Connect. A window opens on
https://api.aceversity.com/oauth/authorize: sign in with your Aceversity email code or password, check the scopes, press Allow. - In a chat, enable Aceversity from the tools menu and ask something.
Connectors added on claude.ai are available in Claude Desktop and the mobile apps for the same account.
Prompts to try
- "What's due in the next two weeks across my classes?"
- "Which topics am I weakest on in BIO 101, and what should I review before Midterm 1?"
- "My chemistry midterm moved to November 4 — update it."
- "I got 88 on Quiz 2 in Statistics. Record it and tell me my current grade."
- "Read my Psychology syllabus. What's the late-work policy?"
- "Make a 15-card flashcard deck of key terms from chapter 3 of my Biology syllabus."
Claude will ask before running tools marked destructive (deleting a course, item, deck or grade).
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http aceversity https://api.aceversity.com/mcp
Then run /mcp inside Claude Code, pick aceversity and Authenticate to complete the OAuth sign-in in your browser.
For headless use (CI, a server), pass an API key instead of OAuth:
claude mcp add --transport http aceversity https://api.aceversity.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer $ACEVERSITY_API_KEY"
Or check a project-scoped config into .mcp.json (the key stays in your environment):
{
"mcpServers": {
"aceversity": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.aceversity.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${ACEVERSITY_API_KEY}" }
}
}
}
Claude API (Messages API MCP connector)
Your backend can let Claude call Aceversity tools during a Messages API request. Pass the member's OAuth access token (or their API key) as authorization_token. Both halves are required: the server in mcp_servers and an mcp_toolset entry in tools, with the mcp-client-2025-11-20 beta header.
curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages \
-H "x-api-key: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" \
-H "anthropic-version: 2023-06-01" \
-H "anthropic-beta: mcp-client-2025-11-20" \
-H "content-type: application/json" \
-d '{
"model": "claude-opus-5-5",
"max_tokens": 16000,
"mcp_servers": [{
"type": "url",
"url": "https://api.aceversity.com/mcp",
"name": "aceversity",
"authorization_token": "'"$ACEVERSITY_ACCESS_TOKEN"'"
}],
"tools": [{ "type": "mcp_toolset", "mcp_server_name": "aceversity" }],
"messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "What do I have due this week?" }]
}'
The token is your responsibility to refresh — access tokens last an hour (see Authentication).
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause / fix |
|---|---|
| "Couldn't connect" right after adding | The server must be reachable over public HTTPS. Check https://api.aceversity.com/health. For local testing use a tunnel — see Testing. |
| OAuth window says unknown client_id | A stale registration — remove the connector and add it again. |
| OAuth window says the redirect address wasn't registered | The client changed callback URLs; remove and re-add the connector. |
Tools fail with membership_required |
The Aceversity account has no active membership. |
Edits fail with insufficient_scope |
The member unticked Edit on the consent screen. Disconnect at https://api.aceversity.com/keys and connect again. |
Connector disappeared from https://api.aceversity.com/keys |
It was disconnected; Claude will prompt to reconnect. |
