Connect your AI

Updated October 18, 2026

In short. Add your Olympus to Claude, ChatGPT or another AI app that connects to MCP servers, sign in once, and ask about your business in plain words: "How did last week go?", "Which ad platform pays back?", "Why is email down?" It answers from your own numbers, every metric defined the same way every time. It can read; it can't change anything.

Before you start

Your store's address

In your Olympus, open Connect your AI. The address at the top is the one your AI app needs. It's your Olympus's address with /mcp on the end, for example:

https://yourstore.olympus.oldbones.ai/mcp

That page also has these steps for each app, with your address already filled in.

Claude

Quickest: in your Olympus, on Connect your AI, click Add to Claude. Claude opens its Add custom connector dialog with your store's name and address filled in. It warns that the connector came from a link, which it always does for these: check the name and address are yours, click Continue, and carry on from step 3. Want a different name, like Olympus - Acme Skate if you manage several brands? Change it in the Name it box on that page first, or type over it in Claude's dialog. Or by hand:

  1. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it after your store, like Acme Skate, so you can tell your stores apart if you connect more than one. Paste your store's address and click Next.
  3. Claude shows how to sign in. Keep the choices it marks Detected:
    • Authentication: Sign in now
    • OAuth client: Register automatically
    • Request headers: leave empty
    Then click Add.
  4. Your Olympus opens in a new window: sign in if it asks, then click Allow. You're back in Claude, connected.
  5. Back in Claude, start a chat and ask about your business. To talk to Hermes, your chief of staff, pick Hermes from the + menu.

On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner may need to add the connector for your organization first.

ChatGPT

On ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, only a workspace admin or owner can add a custom server, so steps 1 to 5 are the admin's, once. After that, anyone in the workspace turns it on in a chat. ChatGPT calls these plugins.

  1. Open ChatGPT's Admin Console (admin.openai.com; from ChatGPT, click your name, Workspace settings, then Go to Admin Console). Open Plugins, click Add, then Create MCP plugin.
  2. Click Enable developer mode at the top of the form, then fill it in:
    • Icon: download Olympus's icon and upload it. Do it now: ChatGPT shows a broken image for a plugin without one.
    • Custom name: your store's name, like Olympus - Acme Skate. Description: Our store's numbers from Olympus, read-only.
    • Connection: Server URL, and paste your store's address. It ends in /mcp, whatever the example in the box shows.
    • Authentication: OAuth. Leave Advanced authentication settings closed.
    • Tick I understand and want to continue. ChatGPT shows this for every server OpenAI hasn't reviewed; Olympus only lets an AI read.
    Then click Create.
  3. A window opens. It can stay blank for a few seconds while ChatGPT registers with your Olympus; then your Olympus asks you to sign in, and to Allow.
  4. On the plugin's page, click Review app. It lists Olympus's tools: 17 that read, and 1 that writes, which only notes a question Olympus couldn't answer, in your own Olympus. Open both Review potential risk items and mark them reviewed (ChatGPT's standard checks), then click Publish. That publishes to your workspace only, not ChatGPT's public directory.
  5. Set it to Enabled, with Available as the workspace default, so people turn it on when they want it.
  6. In a new chat, click +, turn on your store's plugin and ask about your business. For Hermes: "Answer as Hermes, my chief of staff. Give me a briefing."

When Olympus adds a tool, ChatGPT doesn't see it until an admin opens the plugin, then Tools, then Refresh. ChatGPT moves its menus from time to time; if a step doesn't match, look for Create MCP plugin or custom connectors.

Claude Code, Cursor and Gemini CLI

These take a key instead of a sign-in. In the examples, yourstore names the server: use your store's short name, so several stores can sit side by side.

In your Olympus, on Connect your AI, type what the key is for (like Claude Code on my laptop) and click Make a key. Copy it straight away: Olympus shows it once. Then:

Claude Code, in a terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http yourstore https://yourstore.olympus.oldbones.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY"

Cursor, in ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or Settings, MCP):

{ "mcpServers": { "yourstore": { "url": "https://yourstore.olympus.oldbones.ai/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" } } } }

Gemini CLI, in ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "yourstore": { "httpUrl": "https://yourstore.olympus.oldbones.ai/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_KEY" } } } }

Treat a key like a password: anyone with it can read your numbers as you. Delete it in Olympus when you stop using it.

Hermes

Hermes is your chief of staff, and free. Ask for a briefing whenever you want one: how the business is doing, ranked by what you keep after ad spend and the few guardrails that matter, what changed and why, and which specialist would go deeper. Nothing arrives on a schedule.

The other specialists, for finance, paid ads, email and products, are coming as premium add-ons.

What your AI can see

Disconnect

In your Olympus, Connect your AI lists the apps you've allowed and the keys you've made, with when each was last used. Click Disconnect or delete a key, and it stops working at once. Removing the connector in your AI app also stops it. If someone leaves your team, their connections and keys stop working too.
