Altfy is an MCP server. Your AI app connects to it once, and the research tools show up in your conversations. Here is how, per app.
Some AI apps only show your assistant the NAME you gave the connector when deciding which tools to reach for. A descriptive name is what makes it pick Altfy instead of answering from web search alone. Paste these as they are.
| App | How to add it | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Claude (claude.ai and Claude Desktop) | Settings, Connectors, add a custom connector with the server URL, then sign in when it asks. | Claude reads the server's own instructions, so it depends least on the connector name. |
| ChatGPT | Settings, Connectors, add the server URL and sign in when the popup asks. | Use e-mail and password in that popup: Google sign-in does not complete inside it. |
| Grok | grok.com, Connectors, Custom. Fill name, description, and URL with the three blocks above. | Grok never shows the assistant the server instructions, so the connector name is what makes it reach for Altfy. This is the app where the name matters most. It authenticates with a personal token from the app. |
| Codex and other MCP clients | Connect through the mcp-remote bridge, using a personal token from the app, in the client's usual format. | Anything that speaks MCP works; the tools are the same 60+ everywhere. |
