show you five connectors that I simply can't live without, along with real-life use cases that you can steal from me.
Speaker A
These are use cases that have run my business with Claude the last 5 months.
Speaker A
So, let's lock in and make sure you're taking notes throughout the video. Let's go. Connector number one that I simply at this point cannot live without is Higsfield. And real quick, if you don't know what this is, Higsfield is a
Speaker A
creative platform that allows you to generate images, videos, basically anything you could imagine with all the best video and image models on the market. On top of that, they have a bunch of custom features that we could use directly inside of Claude with the
Speaker A
MCP. So, let me show you how to set it up now. And the use cases that I have for this are pretty insane. But first, let's talk about what those use cases are so you can know what to expect. So,
Speaker A
in this section of the video, we're going to go from very basic to pretty complex workflows using Claude Co-work and the Hicksfield MCP. First of all, we're going to go from basic images from a simple prompt to creating specific
Speaker A
explainer infographics, product shots, listing infographics, if we have Amazon listings that we're trying to sell, UGC video ads, so we could create content on autopilot. The first thing that we need to do is make sure we have the Claude
Speaker A
desktop app downloaded. So, if we do not already have this, there will be a link in the description where you could download it. And then once you do have it downloaded, we want to make sure to open it up. From there, we need to go to
Speaker A
Higsfield and actually connect the MCP after signing up for an account. There will be a link in the description for you to see this exact same page for you to download the MCP into Claude. What we need to do is we need to come right here
Speaker A
to step number two and simply just copy this URL. Then we're going to come back to Claude. Come over to the left-hand side where it says customize. And then we're going to select connectors. From here, click on this plus button and then
Speaker A
browse connectors. And all we're going to do is look up Higsfield. Next, I just need to click on connect. And it's going to have us sign into our Higsfield account that we just created. We're going to click a couple of buttons. And
Speaker A
then now it's going to prompt us to open Claude. And then now you can see that we have Higsfield connected. Next, if you come and find the actual Higsfield app here in your list of connectors, we could either make this so that way it
Speaker A
asks us permission before going and creating images and doing specific things. But for me, I'm just going to always approve this so that way it doesn't always have to ask me these questions. This is of course personal preference if you want to be more strict
Speaker A
about what you allow it to do. Now, inside of Claude, we need to actually navigate this real quickly to get over to co-work. So, if you've never used this before, we're going to see that we are in chat mode here. Come over to the
Speaker A
left-hand side where we see chat and click this little middle button. This is co-work and this is where we're going to be living inside of this video. It's a lot more powerful than using just a normal chat mode. Next, if you've never
Speaker A
used this before, this is working inside of folders on your computer and creating and manipulating specific files. So, we need to set up a workspace, which is basically just a folder that it can work inside of. So, right here, I'm just
Speaker A
going to come and click on this dropdown. We could either select a pre-existing folder if you already have one. However, for the sake of this video, I'm going to create a new one.
Speaker A
Click this button that says choose a different folder. And then create new folder. I'm going to call this Higsfield. And again, if you already have an existing folder where you work inside of, feel free to link that one.
Speaker A
But if you're new to this, go ahead and set up a new one. Once I click open, I'm going to click on allow. And we now have our Higsfield folder created. I went ahead searched on my desktop. And this
Speaker A
is the folder. There is nothing inside of this. But when we begin creating image and video assets, they will all live right here. Now, real quick, I do want to mention that I'm going to show and share with you three specific skills
Speaker A
for Higsfield over the next couple of minutes. And if you want to download this plug-in pack for free, there is a link in the description to do so. That way, you could copy exactly how I'm using Higsfield that you're going to see
Speaker A
in this video. Now, is where we're going to give a very basic prompt to just create our first image. We want to start with something simple and we're going to work our way up from there. So, I gave
Speaker A
it the prompt, generate an image of the Empire State Building with a New York Knicks flag hanging from it. Since the New York Knicks are about to win the NBA Finals, this is a timely prompt and image to create. So, I'm going to click
Speaker A
on send. And the key thing about this is natively inside of Claude, there is no way to actually generate images. It's not like ChatGPT or Gemini where you can generate images directly inside of the platform. As well as inside of Co-work,
Speaker A
there's no way to use APIs, which is basically a way to trigger other image generation tools. That is why the Higsfield MCP is incredibly powerful because it allows us to simply connect to their app and use it directly in
Speaker A
Claude without us having to leave this interface right here if we don't want to. And now what we're seeing is this little Higsfield widget generating this image. And just like that, a couple of seconds later, we now have the Empire
Speaker A
State Building with this New York Knicks flag that's hanging from it. And you can see that it used Nano Banana Pro in 3x4 aspect ratio. And if I click on this, there's a couple things that we could do
Speaker A
directly inside of Claude. I could click animate and turn this into a video if I'd like. Or I could go ahead and make an edit to this image. So if I click on edit, I'm just going to come here and
Speaker A
say, I want you to take this image and show the entirety of the Empire State Building. I then want the New York Knicks flag hanging from somewhere on the building. I'm going to send that off and it's now going to begin making the
Speaker A
changes. So you could see how easy it is to actually interact with Higsfield directly inside of Claude. As well as you just saw me speaking into my computer without me having to type. And I'm using a tool called Aqua Voice that
Speaker A
allows you to just hit a key on your keyboard, speak into it. That way you don't need to type. And if you want to try it out, there's a link in the description to test it out yourself.
Speaker A
There we go. A couple seconds later, we now have this full image of the Empire State Building with the New York Knicks flag. That's pretty good. Obviously, it's pretty basic, but now you understand how you're able to generate
Speaker A
images directly inside of here. Now, for this next use case, we're going to go one step higher and show something a little bit more complex. And for this I created a Claude skill called explainer infographic. So let me show you how this
Speaker A
works right now. And this is where it gets really powerful where we combine specific skills along with Higsfield directly inside of Claude via the MCP.
Speaker A
All right. So here we go. Here is this little infographic explainer that we created directly with Higsfield inside of Claude. This explains exactly how a Claude skill works which I used to create this image. So let me quickly
Speaker A
break this down. Basically, we say a trigger, Claude loads a skill, and work is done the same way every single time.
Speaker A
So now, when I want to create an infographic just like this, all I have to do is tell Claude, "Hey, create an in
Speaker A
is the example that I gave Claude when crafting this skill. And you can see it's pretty similar and it follows a similar layout. Now, at any time for any of the images and videos that we generate, we could always download
Speaker A
these. So, if we click the download button and click open link, it will then take us to this link where we could simply save this image. Or you could even tell Claude to save it in the folder that we're working inside of and
Speaker A
you could grab it there as well. Now, this next use case is to actually create product infographics. So, if you have a specific product and you want to explain how it works to use it either for a social post or for an Amazon product
Speaker A
listing, I'm going to show you how we could recreate something almost identical to this to be used for marketing material. And the only input we're going to give it is a single product image. Now, we're going to be
Speaker A
using this product infographic skill that I created directly inside of Claude. And we're going to provide a product image as well as a link to the product. So, it's able to scrape all the information and understand how the
Speaker A
product works to then create an image explaining how it works. So, let's use this as an example. This DJI Osmo Pocket 3. It's a camera that has some pretty cool functionalities. I've used one myself. It's pretty awesome, actually.
Speaker A
So, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to simply take two screenshots here with a few different angles of this camera. And obviously, the more images that we provide, the better it's going to be. So, let's take these three. And
Speaker A
literally, all I have to do is give it forward/roinfographic since I already created this skill, which is basically just this very long prompt explaining exactly how we want this to look. And then again, I'm just going to paste in the product link so
Speaker A
that way it gets this information to create the infographic. Here is our output. So, we have the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 portable pocket gimbal camera. It even breaks down the specific sensors, the the video resolution, and some of the
Speaker A
key features of the product. If you ask me, I would have never been able to tell this was created with AI. And I want you to imagine something real quick. Let's say you have hundreds of different product images in a folder on your
Speaker A
computer. You could then point at that folder and tell it to generate product infographics just like this with the skill we created. And just like that, you have endless amounts of content.
Speaker A
Now, this is specifically using Nano Banana Pro, which is the Gemini image model, but you could use whatever image model you want since Higsfield plugs into almost every single image model you could imagine. Now, we're going to take
Speaker A
this one step above this. What I'm going to do is I'm going to create a specific model that we could use for UGC images, but we're going to turn those images into actual videos that we could use to
Speaker A
market a specific product. All right, so here we go. We have four images now of this red-headed character. And we are using the Higsfield Soul 2 model, which is basically Higsfield's custom model for UGC content creators. So that way
Speaker A
we're able to reuse this character throughout our content. So here's this first image of her. This looks actually really solid. We have a couple of different random shots of her in order to build up a profile for this specific
Speaker A
UGC character. Then we have this one. I mean, this looks like it's a real person to be completely honest. And then we have this one as well, which probably looks the most AI generated in my opinion. But now we have this specific
Speaker A
character and what we could do now is begin crafting UGC videos with this character in order to promote products or create content. All right, so let's take a look at this workflow for creating this video. So I just used the
Speaker A
product to ad skill and I said add ruby for this product and I uploaded a perfume picture and then what it did is it generated a couple of different images as a starting point. This right here is the exact perfume bottle that I
Speaker A
actually uploaded as the reference image. And so what it did is created a couple of shots to use as reference to then create the videos from that. All right, so let's go over a couple of the videos that it generated now.
Speaker A
Oh my goodness, this is incredible. It's like warm vanilla and a little bit of spice. I'm obsessed.
Speaker A
So that's actually pretty good. Let's go on to the next one. I'll drop the link. Just comment the word perfume and it's yours. So, that one does feel a little bit robotic and AI. And then it generated a couple of
Speaker A
others. So, let's look at these. I don't know why I ever stopped wearing this. It's just just so me, you know?
Speaker A
Every time I wear it, someone always ask. I mean, that one looks completely real, to be honest. And then this one as well.
Speaker A
Oh, that's so good. I forget how much I love this scent. It's just so warm and cozy. Perfect for this time of year. So you can begin to see how you could start creating UGC characters directly inside of Claude with the Higsfield connector.
Speaker A
And this can be pretty powerful if you're using this for marketing for yourself or for a client. All right, so our next connector, and this one is going to really help you if you're a business owner. It's called Clay. This
Speaker A
is a platform that lets you scrape and enrich leads directly inside of Claude via this connector. And as you can see right here, I have it going and scraping the top 10 biggest AI companies in the Dallas Fort Worth area. And then it's
Speaker A
giving me their contact information with Clay. We then have this database table here with the name, job title, location, and the LinkedIn URL of all these different companies and their employees.
Speaker A
So, right here, we have 20 different contacts from AT&T. We have 20 from Texas Instruments. And what I could do is I could go ahead and open this up and expand upon this. So, let's say that I want to summarize the work history of
Speaker A
each of these different employees. So, I could have specific context on this person in order for me to send a personalized outreach message like you could see right here inside of my Gmail.
Speaker A
All I did was tell Claude to then write and draft these emails for me to each of these leads I wanted to talk to and personalize it. And Claude went and drafted specific customtailored emails to every single one of these leads that
Speaker A
I scraped with Clay. And this is just scratching the surface of what's capable with this. So, we're going to dive deeper into this now. And then, as you can see right here, we have a email voice skill that I'm going to share with
Speaker A
you for free that will scrape your email inbox and develop an email voice for you. That way, whenever you use Claude to generate an email for you, it's going to sound exactly like you based on your previous email. Now, if you stick with
Speaker A
me, I'm going to show you how you could set this up, and then I'm going to show you how me and my team are personally using this inside of Claude. The first thing we need to do is sign up for a
Speaker A
Clay account. They were kind enough to give you guys 2,000 free credits if you sign up for the 14-day free trial via the link in the description, as well as the pinned comment. Next, you could just click on start building for free and
Speaker A
make sure to sign up for an account. Then once we are inside of that account, we're going to come back to Claude Co-work and then we're going to come over to customize and add our specific connector. And again, if you don't know
Speaker A
how to get here, you're just going to click on this little connector button inside of the left-hand side menu. Next, what we're going to do is come over and click on browse connectors. So, click this little plus button, then browse
Speaker A
connectors. Simply just search up Clay. Click this connect button right here. And it's going to bring you back to your Clay account, and you're just going to need to authorize your workspace. So, I'm going to authorize this one right
Speaker A
here. And then it should shoot us back to Claude and everything should be set up properly. It's that simple. There we go. We now have Clay as one of our custom connectors. And what I always do is I just click always allow right here
Speaker A
for tool permissions. So that way it doesn't need to ask every single time it goes and scrapes or adds lead information, etc. So, in order to do that, just click this, click on always allow. Or you could set custom
Speaker A
permissions so it asks you, but I find that to be a bit annoying. All right, so now we're all set and ready to begin using this. So, what I'm going to do is I'm just going to come to co-work and
Speaker A
say, "Hey, I want you to go and scrape the top 10 different AI companies in the San Francisco area that would be good to partner with with our content creators that we manage. I want you then to find
Speaker A
the top 10 contacts in their marketing department that would be perfect to reach out to in order to discuss influencer marketing opportunities with them." So, I'm simply just going to send that off and it's now going to begin
Speaker A
crafting the top 10 different AI companies and then finding the lead information using Clay. All right, so here we go. Just like that, this is the output. So Claude researched the top 10 AI companies based on which ones they
Speaker A
think would be best clients. And then Clay went and searched the contact information across the top contacts at that company. So for right here, we have Grammarly. We've got 20 contacts with their name, their job title, their location, and their LinkedIn URL. If I
Speaker A
click on this company button, we could actually see a overview of everything about this company. So it shows their URL to their page. It shows where they're located. And one of my favorite parts about this is it shows how many
Speaker A
employees they have. Shows what type of company they are. So it shows software development here. And it tells me whether or not it's a private or public company, which for me and for my team, since I run an influencer marketing
Speaker A
agency, it's really important to see, okay, is this charge for a client. For example, if I want to see what their latest funding is, I can just click this button and it's going to begin sculpting this and pulling more information on
Speaker A
this company. And right here it shows their latest funding round was actually $1 billion which is very interesting the fact that Clay is able to pull this. And let's say that I want to see what their tech stack is. I can go ahead click this
Speaker A
and it's now synthesizing this information as well. So you could begin to see how powerful this Clay connector is. If you are a business owner and you want to find clients, you want to enrich these leads and you want to plug it
Speaker A
directly into Claude so you could have it create outreach messages for you. So I went ahead and actually clicked on a couple of these other data points here.
Speaker A
So, it shows me recent news on this company and then it even shows the revenue model. So, it's a premium product with a subscription per seat pricing model as well as they do licensing and affiliate. So, now I have
Speaker A
tons of information on this company, but now on top of just having company information, I have all of these leads directly inside of Claude via Clay and I can start doing custom outreach to them.
Speaker A
So, I do want to point this out because if you are a business owner and want to get more customers, not only can you use it in Claude, but you could use all the other features that they have directly
Speaker A
inside of the platform as well. Now, another one of the really cool features inside of Clay is I could come over here and click on this settings button. And when I do this, this is the specific context Clay has on me. And I could go
Speaker A
ahead and directly edit this as well. So, it was able to understand that my company is AI for non- techies because Claude actually has context on my entire business from the past 6 months of me using it every single day. And it even
Speaker A
shows my ideal customer profile. It was able to scrape on its own. So, that could be really powerful because you don't always need to explain to Claude or Clay who your ideal customer is or what your business is. You could just
Speaker A
give it a brain dump and then it will store that information in order to find the best leads for you so you're not wasting your time. All right. So, going back to showing these drafted emails that Clay actually created since we're
Speaker A
actively using Clay and we have these leads sourced for us. Now, there is going to be a link in the description to get my free email voice skill. And what this is going to do is it's going to
Speaker A
scrape your email inbox via the Gmail connector and craft your specific email voice. So, whenever we draft these emails, it's going to sound exactly like you based on your previous messages. All you're going to do is come here, put in
Speaker A
zero dollars because this is free. And then all you need to do is put in your email address. And then this will be sent to your email. Next, we are going to see this right here. So, first of
Speaker A
all, we have this PDF that we could download, which basically just explains what this email voice skill if this is helpful for you. And then it shows you step by step how to download it and run this. And then the second file here is
Speaker A
the email voice skill. We're just going to click on download. Drag this onto our desktop. And then next up, take this email voice skill, drag it into co-work, and then say install this skill. Next, all you have to do is click on this save
Speaker A
skill button. And then it's now going to be stored inside of your cloud skills.
Speaker A
Next, we're just going to click forward slash email voice and then click send. And this is going to go through your Gmail and scrape your previous 10 to 20 emails that you sent in order to craft this voice for you. And real quick, if
Speaker A
you don't already have the Gmail connector set up, let me show you exactly how to do this. And Gmail is without a doubt one of the connectors that I simply cannot live without. I use this one every day and probably more
Speaker A
than any of the other ones on this list. And this is one that I think if you're an everyday co-work user is the most important for you to download because it's the most practical because everybody uses email. And do not worry
Speaker A
if you are a Microsoft user and you use Outlook, there is a Microsoft 365 connector as well. So you could connect to Outlook that way. So come over to connectors. Just browse on the list here. search up Gmail and then you can
Speaker A
just click connect and then it will be all set. So you could now see it's actually searching my email threads from my Gmail account and then it's analyzing those emails right here. And you're going to be pretty surprised at how
Speaker A
closely this is actually going to sound like you because Fable 5, which is a new model from Enthropic, is really good at being able to understand this. All right. So, while Claude is crafting our email voice skill, let's just come back
Speaker A
here and I'm going to say, I want you to find the top three best contacts to reach out to for each of these companies. And then I want you to go and draft an email for me in my email voice
Speaker A
and have it ready to go in Gmail. All right. And there we go. It went and analyzed 34 of my recent sent emails.
Speaker A
And then what it did is crafted this email voice markdown file. So, it'll always reference this how I want to come off in my emails. breaks down my tone, my specific greetings, shows my sign offs, and specific words and phrases
Speaker A
that I use. So, this skill will be really helpful for you to craft this.
Speaker A
All right. And coming back to this, we now have this list of the top three contacts per company. And then if I go over to my email address, you can now see that all of these right here were
Speaker A
crafted to each of these contacts. And if I go and click on this, this is very personalized. It says, "Hey, Kristen.
Speaker A
I'm Brock. I manage a group of AI focused content creators. And Gamma is a tool our audiences already know and love. very organic. This is the exact style I would send an email in. So, you could probably begin to see how powerful
Speaker A
this is when we combine the power of Claude and specifically Claude Co-work with Clay in order to scrape emails, scrape company information, and basically enrich all of these leads for us. Again, there will be a link in the
Speaker A
description to sign up to get 2,000 free credits to try it out yourself. All right, so the next connector that I can't live without, this is called Superbase. Now, first of all, let me show you an example of an app that I've
Speaker A
built directly inside of Claude while using the Superbase connector. So, this is my YouTube video tracker dashboard that is a live artifact that just lives inside of Claude where I could always see live up-to-ate information on my entire YouTube channel. So, it shows all
Speaker A
of my different videos. It shows the amount of views they get. It shows the amount of likes, the like percentage, etc. So, this is just a unified dashboard for me to track my content.
Speaker A
And you could build something very similar for yourself. And we wouldn't be able to do this if we didn't have a built-in database where we stored all this information. So to show you real quickly what I mean, this is the
Speaker A
database that we're storing all this information inside of. And we're doing it with Superbase. Now, if you don't know what this is, this is basically a back-end development platform where we could store databases. We could do user authentication for our specific
Speaker A
applications. And there are so many more things we could do with Superbase. And I've been using it to build interactive dashboards like this and store data.
Speaker A
Now, in order to show you what I mean, this is a great visual to explain it. We have Superbase right here which is just a collection of all this data and it reads this information and Claude generates a live dashboard which is
Speaker A
called a live artifact. And I'm going to show you how you could do this later on in this video. And we could leverage Superbase whenever there's something that we always want Claude to remember we could store it in that database so
Speaker A
that way Claude could always reference it. Now what we're going to do is we're going to come over to customize. We're going to click on connectors and we're just going to search up Superbase and it's going to bring us to this
Speaker A
authorization right here. And we do need to make sure that we have an account. So go ahead and create one if we haven't already. Then I'm just going to select authorize claude and then click open claude. And now we have our superbase
Speaker A
connected. And if I come over and click on the superbase connector, again I'm just going to select always allow. So that way I don't have to, you know, always give it permission when it needs to go and do things. Now I'm just going
Speaker A
to give you a very simple example so you could see exactly how this works and begins creating this database. So I'm going to say, can you build me a database inside of Superbase to store these video ideas? and I'm just listing
Speaker A
off a couple of them here. Now, what this is going to do is create a new project, which is essentially just a database that I already showed you earlier on. So, I'm going to call this YouTube tracker project. And now, it's
Speaker A
going to go and do this for me inside of Superbase. Whereas before, I would have to go and build this database out myself. And now, just like that, in a matter of a couple of seconds, it says it built out this table inside of the
Speaker A
YouTube video tracker project. So, let me go ahead and check if that is the case. And now we have this new table right here called video ideas. And it's all logged inside this database. And again, that's a very basic use case, but
Speaker A
I wanted to show you how this functions. You could do this with any data or information you want to feed it. So for me personally with this YouTube video tracker, this is basically a custom software I built inside of Claude
Speaker A
pulling the real information from Superbase where it stores that information. This is the raw data. And you're probably asking, how am I scraping and grabbing this data? So let's talk about that now. And for this, we're going to be using a scheduled
Speaker A
task. If you don't know what this is, let me break it down extremely simple right now. A scheduled task is as simple as it sounds. It's a specific task that Claude runs at a given time or day that
Speaker A
you schedule it. So for me personally, I have this one called YouTube daily scrape where every day at 7 a.m. it scrapes my YouTube videos. And then from there, it's going to use the Superbase MCP and store that data right here. So
Speaker A
every day it's going to update the amount of views that I get on my videos, the amount of likes, which videos are performing well. So that way I could always see it in real time right here.
Speaker A
And now the other piece of this that really connects this together is the live artifact, which is a dashboard you're looking at. So if you don't know what a live artifact is, this is basically custom dashboards you can
Speaker A
build directly inside of Claude that pulls your data across different applications that you could see in real time and interact with. To give you another idea of a live artifact that I have that I'm actually using superbase for, here is a school member database
Speaker A
tracker. So, this is my educational AI platform where I could track the amount of users that we have in here. So, we could see the name of all of my school users. We have the email of all of them.
Speaker A
We can see when they joined as well as the price that they paid, whether they paid monthly or yearly, and then it even shows the lifetime value of this customer. And some of this is data that I can't even see directly inside of the
Speaker A
school dashboard. So you could begin to see how you could take your data from your business, store it inside of Superbase, and then turn it into an interactive app that lives inside of Claw just like this. Now let's turn the
Speaker A
video ideas table that I created inside of Superbase. And let's now turn this into a live artifact so I could show you exactly how this works. But first of all, I'm just going to come here and then let's say, hey, I want you to add a
Speaker A
new video idea that breaks down the key differences between Claude Co-work and Claude Code for normal people. So, here we go. I also gave it this title idea, so I'm just going to send that off. And then if this is working properly with
Speaker A
the Superbase connector, it should reflect this inside of this database for my video ideas. And then we can turn this into an artifact. So, we could track this and always have a live dashboard inside of Claude. And there we
Speaker A
go. Here is our new entry. Claude co-work versus claude code explained for normal people. Status is idea. It also added a keynote about my idea for the video and shows when this was created.
Speaker A
So this is working properly. So you can begin to see how you could dump in certain ideas and use this database almost as a second brain kind of. Now let's come back to Claw and I'm just going to simply say this looks great.
Speaker A
Can you now turn this into an interactive live artifact? So I could track my ideas in real time. All right.
Speaker A
So now we have this video ideas tracker live artifact that's living inside of Claude that I could access at any time.
Speaker A
As you can see, it's pinned right here. And one of the best parts about this is not only is it pulling all the video ideas from that table or database inside of Superbase. So, if I come here and I
Speaker A
give it this video idea and just click add idea, if we give it a second, we're now going to see it populate right here, which is great. But even better, if we come back to our Superbase database, we
Speaker A
now have this exact entry that we just added in our application. So we can now begin building real apps directly inside of claude using artifacts and superbase.
Speaker A
And this is just scratching the surface of what you could do with the Superbase connector. All right, so now moving on to the next connector that I simply cannot live without at this point. And obviously the point of this video is to
Speaker A
talk about connectors. Well, what happens when there is no way to connect to a specific app that you want to use directly inside of Claude? And what I mean by that is you come here, you come to connectors, you browse this list
Speaker A
here, and you scroll all the way to to the bottom and you can't find the app that you want to use. Well, that is where Zap Your MCP becomes extremely valuable, especially if you're a non-technical person. So, this is
Speaker A
probably you right here if you're in the shoes not being able to find a specific connector you want to, you know, add to Claude, can't find your app, and you're kind of stuck thinking, is there any way that I could actually use this in here?
Speaker A
And thank you to Zapier. you can connect to their MCP server that basically grants you access to 9,000 plus different applications that they integrate with. If you don't know what Zapier is, it's an automation platform that's been around for years, one of the
Speaker A
biggest automation platforms in the entire world. And they have direct integrations for all the tools that you probably want to use that you run your business through. Now, to show you exactly what I mean, this is my MCP
Speaker A
server that I have configured where I've connected to a couple of different applications directly inside of Zapier.
Speaker A
some of which I could connect to inside of Claude like Google Calendar or HubSpot or Stripe. But for example, school is one that does not have any APIs for me to use inside of Claude. And the only way I'm able to do this is if
Speaker A
I'm using the Zap Your MCP to connect that. And same thing with Synthflow here. What you could do is you could go and add any of these apps that you want to use. Again, there's 9,000 plus that you could search through and and simply
Speaker A
add it to this server. And then all you have to do is connect this server to Claude with the Zapier connector. And now you could begin using all those different apps. And some of you might be asking, Brock, can't I set up my own MCP
Speaker A
server? Why do I use something like Zapier? Let me answer this very simply if you're non-technical. So setting up your own MCP server is possible and it can be powerful, but it's built mainly for developers. And if you're a beginner
Speaker A
or a non- techie like the majority of the people watching this channel, this is going to be something you don't want to have to deal with. Instead, we could just use a Zapier MCP so we don't have to manually set up all this stuff and
Speaker A
configure it. So, the first thing that we need to do is sign up for a Zap year account. There will be a link in the description as well as the pinned comment. So, I'm just going to click on
Speaker A
get started since I already have my account. Once you are signed up, you're going to come over to the left where it says new MCP server. And then all we're going to do is click on Claude Co-work as our client because this is where
Speaker A
we're going to be using it. And as you can see, I already have these apps configured, but I'm going to show you how to add your specific apps now. All right. So what I just did is I just
Speaker A
connected Beehive, which is an email marketing tool that I use right here. So then I could actually work across this app directly inside of Claude without me having to leave it. And this is only possible with the Zapier MCP because
Speaker A
there is no Beehive connector directly inside of Claude. Now all I need to do is come over and click on this connect button for this server I've created. I'm going to click on add to Claude. I'm going to click connect. And then this
Speaker A
will now route me back to Claude to confirm. And now if I head back over to connectors and I click on Zapier here, you can now see we have Beehive and all these different actions. These are all the things that we could do on behalf of
Speaker A
Beehive. So we could list posts, view a post, list segment members, etc. And again, I'm just going to click here and click on always approve. Now, in order to test this out, I created this fake leads list CSV file here. And what I
Speaker A
want to do is just give this off to Claude and then automatically add these leads into my Beehive account directly without having to go inside of Beehive.
Speaker A
So I'm just going to say, "Hey, I want you to add all these into Beehive via the Zapier MCP." And what it did is it read this CSV file. Now it looks like Zapier is using this Beehive tool to
Speaker A
create all these different subscribers. I believe there are 15 different leads that we should be seeing. So once this is done, we should now see them added to our Beehive campaign. And this is just one example of one of the apps we could
Speaker A
use. There are tons that Zapier can connect to. So, this can be very helpful for you. This is just one small example of one that I personally use. You don't need to use this unless there maybe is an app you want to connect to that
Speaker A
Zapier does allow you to. All right, there we have it. Those are my top five Claude co-work connectors that I can't live without. If you guys want to dive deeper, make sure to join my school community. Inside of here, I share the
