Connector builds / For software companies

Your product, inside Claude and ChatGPT.

Your customers already work in Claude and ChatGPT. I build the connector that lets them use your product from there: their own sign-in, tools mapped to your real API, an approval step before anything is written, and both directory submissions. Managed for you, end to end, and the code is yours.

Nine of our tools are listed in Anthropic’s Claude directory.

What your customer types

They ask. Your product does the job.

This is a real exchange with Owner’s Desk, a connector we built and run. Your connector works the same way, with your product’s own jobs: reads answer right away, and anything that changes data waits for a yes.

Who still owes me money? Draft an invoice for the oldest one.

  1. who_owes_meRead only

    Reads the open invoices from the owner’s own Stripe account and lists who owes what.

  2. draft_invoiceWrite, held

    Drafts the invoice and returns a one-time confirm token. Nothing is sent yet.

  3. confirm_actionApproval step

    Runs only after the owner says yes in the chat, and the action lands in the audit log.

How it works / From your docs to the directory

Built on your API, not a guess.

  1. I read your docs

    Your public API reference and your product pages: which jobs your customers come to you for, and which endpoints already do them.

  2. I design the tools

    Six to twelve tools mapped to your real endpoints. Each one is marked read-only or destructive, and every write gets an approval step.

  3. I build and test it

    OAuth sign-in, the tools, an eval set, and every published directory rule checked before anything is submitted.

  4. We submit it and keep it working

    Docs and privacy pages written, both directory submissions filed, and the code in your repository.

The packages / Set scope, set price, quoted in the conversation

Four ways in. One conversation first.

Every package has a fixed scope and a set price that I put in writing after we talk. Changes to what we built are included, always, with no change order.

Connector Blueprint

For software teams whose own engineers will build the connector.

Your engineers start from a design that already answers what directory reviewers ask.

What you get

  • The tool design: every tool named and mapped to your real endpoints, each marked read-only or destructive
  • The auth pattern and the approval step for every write
  • The directory review checklist for Claude and ChatGPT, worked against your design
  • An eval set your team runs before every release
  • A working prototype against your public API

Not included

  • The production build, hosting and the directory submissions (that is Connector Build)
  • Changes to your own API

Credited in full toward a Connector Build if you decide we should build it after all.

Connector Suite

For companies with several products or systems.

One assistant works across everything you run, with a crew of agents doing the multi-step jobs.

What you get

  • Connectors across several of your systems, sharing one sign-in and one approval pattern
  • An agent crew that works across those systems
  • A security review of the whole surface before anything is submitted
  • Docs, privacy pages and an eval set for every connector
  • Both directory submissions

Not included

  • The listing decision, which belongs to Anthropic and OpenAI
  • Changes to your own APIs

Connector Care

For any connector we built, after it ships.

The connector keeps working while the protocol, the models and the directories keep moving.

What you get

  • Monitoring, with an alert the day a tool fails
  • Spec and model updates as MCP, Claude and ChatGPT change
  • Directory upkeep: listings, docs and privacy pages kept current
  • Changes to what we built, included

Not included

  • A new system or a new connector (each is its own package)

Month to month and optional. You own the code either way, and your team can run it without us.

Ask about Connector Care

Why not build it in-house?

Your engineers can write this code. What you buy from us is the roadmap your team keeps, and a design that has already been through directory review: the tool names, the read-only and destructive hints, the approval step, the privacy page reviewers read first.

If your team would rather write it, Connector Blueprint hands them that design, an eval set and a working prototype, and it is credited in full if you bring the build to us later.

The proof / Shipped and running

We already build for Claude.

Nine of our tools are listed in Anthropic’s Claude directory. Four more are in review, and fifteen of our servers are published in the official MCP Registry.

Questions software teams search first.

What directory review asks for, how Claude and ChatGPT differ, what customers in your category would do with a connector, and when your own team should build it.

Claude connector vs ChatGPT app

A Claude connector and a ChatGPT app run on one MCP server. What differs is the review: auth, hints, test cases, listing URLs and labels, side by side.

By software category

Field service software

A connector for field service software: dispatch, estimates, open invoices and leads from Claude and ChatGPT, with a yes required before any job changes.

By software category

Booking and scheduling software

A connector for booking and scheduling software: open slots, reschedules, no-shows and lapsed clients from Claude and ChatGPT, every change held for a yes.

By software category

Vacation rental software

A connector for vacation rental software: arrivals, guest messages, quotes and turnovers from Claude and ChatGPT, per property, writes held for a yes.

By software category

Nonprofit and donation software

A connector for nonprofit and donation software: campaign totals, lapsed donors and failed recurring gifts from Claude and ChatGPT. No money ever moves.

Build or hire

Build in-house vs hire a studio

Build your Claude and ChatGPT connector in-house or hire a studio? When your own team is the right call, what a studio adds, and the middle path.

Straight answers

What teams ask first.

Does a listing mean Anthropic or OpenAI endorses you?

No. A listing means people can find the connector in the directory, nothing more. We build to every published rule and file the submission; Anthropic and OpenAI decide what they list.

Who owns the connector?

You do. The code lives in your repository and runs in accounts you control. We manage it for you end to end if you want that, and your team can run it without us whenever you choose.

What does the approval step do?

Any tool that changes something in your product drafts the change first and waits. Your customer sees what will happen and says yes in the chat before anything is written.

What if a reviewer asks for changes?

We make them. Changes to what we built are included, always, with no change order.

Do you need access to our code?

No. I design from your public API docs and build against your API with the scopes you grant. If a job needs an endpoint you do not have yet, the proposal says so plainly.

One next step

Send me your API docs.

Tell me your product and where your API reference lives. I will come back with the jobs your customers would do in Claude and ChatGPT, the tools I would build for them, and the package that fits.

Claude is a product of Anthropic, and ChatGPT is a product of OpenAI. Modern Mustard Seed is an independent studio and is not affiliated with or endorsed by either.
