ShareThis MCP for Claude
Add ShareThis as a custom connector in Claude and manage properties, apps, and sharing insights right in the conversation. OAuth-secured, live against the ShareThis API.
Where to find it: Claude → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Available on Free (one connector), Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise.
Connect Claude
3 steps, about a minute
No SDK, no API keys. Just the server URL and a one-time OAuth approval.
1
Open Connectors settings
In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors and click “Add custom connector.” On Team and Enterprise, an Owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.
2
Paste the server URL
Enter https://mcp.sharethis.com. Claude connects to the remote server from Anthropic’s cloud and discovers its nine tools automatically — no keys to copy.
3
Authorize and start using it
Complete the ShareThis OAuth approval, then turn the connector on in any chat and ask in plain English. Claude gets scoped access and never sees a raw token.
