Setup guide
Connect Claude to RecHound
Ask Claude about your month end on the web, desktop or mobile.
Before you start
- A Claude account. Free plans can add one custom connector; paid plans can add more.
- A RecHound login with access to the companies you want to ask about.
Steps
No API key needed: you sign in with your RecHound login. It takes about two minutes.
Open Claude's connector settings
Add RecHound
https://app.rechound.com/api/mcpSign in to RecHound and allow access
Ask your first question
Start a new chat and ask "Which accounts aren't reconciled for last month?" If Claude doesn't use RecHound, click the + button, open Connectors and check RecHound is turned on.
Good to know
Connectors you add to your Claude account work wherever you're signed in to Claude, including the mobile apps.
Claude Team or Enterprise: an Owner can add RecHound as an organisation connector. Each person still signs in with their own RecHound login, so everyone only sees their own companies.
To change which companies Claude can see, or to disconnect it, go to Settings → AI Connections in RecHound. It's always read-only, and only sees companies you can see.
Prefer an API key? You can still create one in Settings → AI Connections and use it with tools that can't sign in. Keep it private: anyone with the key can read the companies it allows.
Troubleshooting
The sign-in page doesn't open
Check pop-ups aren't blocked, or copy the sign-in link your assistant shows into your browser.
"You don't have access to that company"
That company wasn't ticked when you allowed access, or your role there doesn't include it. Change the app's companies in Settings → AI Connections.
The assistant can't see RecHound any more
It may have been disconnected in Settings → AI Connections. Connect it again from your assistant and sign in.
"Couldn't confirm your company access with Xero"
Xero was slow to respond. Wait a minute and try again.
"Too many requests"
RecHound limits how many requests an assistant can make each minute. Wait a minute and ask again.
