Connect Soon to Claude

This adds Soon to Claude on the web or in the desktop app, so you can ask Claude about your schedule and make changes.

Before you start

• A Soon account you can sign in to.
• A Claude account. Connectors are available on paid Claude plans.

You connect as yourself, so the assistant sees exactly what you see in Soon and nothing more. Your permissions carry over: if you cannot edit a board in Soon, the assistant cannot edit it either.

Steps

1. Open Claude and go to Settings.
2. Select Connectors.
3. Select Add custom connector.
4. Paste this address into the URL field:

https://mcp.soon.works/mcp

1. Give it the name Soon and confirm.
2. A Soon sign-in page opens in your browser. Sign in with your normal Soon account.
3. Review what Claude is asking for and select Approve. You are returned to Claude and Soon shows as connected.

Check that it worked

Ask the assistant:

What is on my schedule this week?

You should get your own shifts back. If you are a planner, try "Who is working on Friday?" as well. If the assistant says it has no Soon tools available, the connection did not complete. See the troubleshooting section below.

What you can ask for

Once connected, you can ask in plain language. For example:

• "What am I working this week?"
• "Who is available to cover Friday evening?"
• "Request leave for the 12th to the 16th."
• "Move Jackson off Saturday and put Ada on instead."

Soon marks every action that changes the schedule as destructive, so your assistant asks before running one. That prompt comes from the assistant rather than from Soon, so only connect assistants you trust.

Turn it off

Go back to Settings > Connectors, find Soon, and remove it. Access stops immediately.

Troubleshooting

The sign-in window never appears, or nothing happens

Some clients cache an old connection under the same name. Remove the Soon entry, then add it again. If you connected to a test or development URL previously, remove that entry first: reusing the same name can send you to the wrong sign-in page.

The assistant says it cannot see a board

The connection carries your own Soon permissions. If a board is missing, check in Soon that you have access to it. Ask your team owner to add you if not.
