Melinda Maria × Claude

Get connected — once, and you're done 🔌

Claude can only see the systems you've switched on. Everything below is already set up for the team — you just flip each one on and sign in. Start with the essentials, then work down as far as you need. You only ever do this once.

1

Open your connectors

In Claude (desktop or web), go to Settings → Connectors. Two ways to get to Settings: click your name or profile icon in the bottom-left corner, or click Customize in the left sidebar. Everything below is already there waiting — nothing to add, no URLs to paste.

2

Click Connect, sign in

Find a connector, click Connect, and sign in with the account shown on its row — most are just your Melinda Maria Google work account.

3

Tick it off, next

Tick the box to keep your place on this page, then move to the next one. Take them in order and it goes fast.

💡 Do the "Start here" group first. Those cover most everyday questions. The rest take seconds each — connect them now and you'll never think about it again. Use the checkboxes to keep track of your progress.

⭐ Start here — the essentials

If you only do part of this list today, do these. They cover most everyday questions.

🛍️ The Melinda Maria stack

The systems that actually run the business — several of them connectors we built ourselves, straight into MM's real data.

🧰 Everything else

Every other connector available to you — creative tools, research tools, and things that run right on your Mac. Connect the ones you use; skip the ones you don't. Nobody checks.

🔒 Admin only

Listed so this page tells the truth about what exists. You won't be able to connect these, and you don't need to.

🔑 Which login? Green rows use your Melinda Maria Google work account (the same one as Gmail). Pink rows use your own personal login for that tool — the username and password you already use for Shopify, Klaviyo, Gorgias, Zoom and so on. Plum rows run locally on your Mac with no sign-in at all. Amber rows use a shared MM account — look it up in 1Password, or ask David Glasgal. Blue rows need no sign-in whatsoever. You never type an API key into Claude.

🧩 Plugins — a different thing entirely

Worth two minutes, because the words get mixed up constantly.

A connector is a door. A plugin is a playbook.

A connector gives Claude access to a system — it is how Claude can see our Shopify orders at all. That is what the whole list above is.

A plugin is a bundle of skills: written instructions that teach Claude how to do a particular job well, in a consistent way. A plugin holds no data and connects to nothing. It is closer to handing someone a checklist than handing them a key.

Which is why there is no Connect button here. Plugins are installed, and in Cowork most of the ones below are already available to you — you just have to know they exist and ask for the job by name.

David
🛠️ The honest caveat: Bio-research, prospecting and browser-automation bundles also ship with Claude. They are real, and they have nothing to do with jewellery — skip them.

Using one is simple: just describe the job — “draft a campaign plan for the spring launch”, “review this contract for anything unusual” — and Claude reaches for the right skill on its own. You can also see the full library, all 241 of them, on the Skills page.
💻 Claude Code is a separate world. Some plugins only work in Claude Code, the terminal version David uses for building things. They need a real command line, so they are not available in the app you are using. If you are curious, the Claude Code skills page explains the difference and has a one-line installer.
🔄 Why you might reconnect later: when a connector gains new abilities — like Gorgias moving to its own connector in September, or LoudCrowd's commission tools in August — Claude needs one quick Disconnect → Connect to notice. We'll always say so in #mm-claude. Otherwise, once you're connected you stay connected.
🙋 Stuck? Post in #mm-claude or email David. If a connector won't connect, check the live status page first — it may just be having a moment.
