MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It’s a way to give AI tools access to your data. The WhiteWhale MCP is a wrapper over the API — when connected, the AI sees every API route as a tool it can use. You don’t need to understand how it works. Just connect and start asking questions.
What you can ask
Once connected, ask anything about your WhiteWhale data:- “Which accounts should I reach out to today?”
- “Add these 20 companies to my list: [paste domains]”
- “What signals am I tracking and are they configured well?”
- “How many account credits do I have left?”
- “Find me new target accounts that match my ICP”
Setup: Claude Connector
This is the fastest way to connect — no downloads, no config files, no terminal.1
Open Claude and go to Connectors
In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Custom Connectors.
2
Add the WhiteWhale connector
Paste this URL:Press Connect. Claude will prompt you to log in to your WhiteWhale account and authorize the connection via OAuth. No API key needed — authentication is handled automatically.
3
Start a new chat
Open a new chat and ask WhiteWhale anything. Example:
4
You're connected
Claude will respond with your actual WhiteWhale data. From here, keep asking questions — “Show me signals on [company]”, “What’s my score on [account]”, “Add these domains to my list.”
Setup: MCP (ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, other tools)
For any MCP-compatible tool, the connection uses the same endpoint and OAuth flow. MCP URL:1
Open your AI tool's MCP settings
- ChatGPT: Settings → Plugins → Developer Mode → Add Plugin → Input MCP url below.
- Claude Desktop: Settings → Connectors → Add Custom Connector → Input MCP url below.
- Other tools: Look for MCP, Plugins, or Integrations in settings
2
Add the WhiteWhale MCP URL
Paste
https://app.getwhitewhale.com/mcp as the server URL.3
Authorize with OAuth
You’ll be prompted to log in to your WhiteWhale account and authorize the connection. No API key or user email needed — authentication is handled automatically through OAuth.
4
Start a new chat and ask a question
The AI now has access to all WhiteWhale API routes as tools. Try: “Pull my top 5 accounts from WhiteWhale”
Built-in workflows
These are prompts you can use to get started immediately:Troubleshooting
Claude says it can't connect to WhiteWhale
Claude says it can't connect to WhiteWhale
Make sure the connector URL is exactly
https://app.getwhitewhale.com/mcp with no extra spaces or trailing slashes. Try removing and re-adding the connector, then start a fresh chat.Authentication failed
Authentication failed
The MCP uses OAuth — you should be prompted to log in to WhiteWhale when connecting. If the login prompt doesn’t appear, try disconnecting the connector in Claude’s settings and reconnecting.
Claude isn't seeing my accounts or signals
Claude isn't seeing my accounts or signals
Start a new chat after connecting. Connector changes don’t always take effect in an existing conversation. If it still doesn’t work, verify your WhiteWhale account has active accounts and signals.
