Connecting the Stack

Wire Claude to the tools you already use — Drive, Slack, your task board — so it works from live context instead of copy-paste.

What you'll learn
  • Understand what connectors can and can't do
  • Connect one source safely
  • Pull live data into a marketing task

Orchestration starts here

Once Claude can read your real context, you stop being the integration layer — the person copy-pasting between five tabs. Connectors (MCP) let Claude reach into the tools you already use. This is the shift from assistant to orchestrator.

Without connectors you ferry data between tools and Claude by hand; with connectors Claude reads the live stack directly.
Connectors remove you from the middle of every task.

Connect one source

  1. 1

    Pick the highest-friction source

    Wherever you copy-paste most — usually Drive or your task board.

  2. 2

    Connect with least privilege

    Grant access to exactly what a task needs, nothing more.

  3. 3

    Run one real task on live data

    Ask Claude to pull this week's activity and draft from it — no pasting.

  4. 4

    Confirm freshness

    Check it's reading current data, then fold the connector into your prompts.

Heads up

Connect with intent. Grant access to what a task needs — nothing more.
