# Ravn in Claude, as a connector

Add https://api.askravn.com/mcp as a custom connector in Claude’s settings, sign in with your email code, and Claude can verify emails, find work addresses and look up companies when you ask in plain English.
[Start free: 1,000 lookups](https://askravn.com/#start) [Read the docs](https://askravn.com/docs)

Setup
## Add the connector
You add it once in Claude on the web or desktop. Connectors you add there also show up in the Claude mobile apps on the same account.
- / 01
### Open connector settings
In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors. On a Team or Enterprise plan an owner may need to add custom connectors for the organisation first.
- / 02
### Add a custom connector
Choose Add custom connector. Name it `Ravn` and paste `https://api.askravn.com/mcp` as the URL. Leave the advanced OAuth fields empty.
- / 03
### Sign in
Click Connect. A Ravn window opens: enter your email, type the 6-digit code we send, then click Allow. No password and no key to paste.
- / 04
### Turn it on in a chat
In a new chat, open the tools menu and make sure Ravn is enabled. Claude now sees all 25 tools and decides which one fits your request.
- / 05
### Check it works
Ask: “What plan am I on in Ravn?” Claude calls `get_account`, which is free, and reports your plan and remaining lookups.

## Prompts that work well
You don’t name tools. Describe the job and Claude picks the right one. These are good first prompts.
```
Is jane@acme.com safe to send to? Tell me the risk score and why.

Find the work email for Priya Patel at stripe.com and say how confident you are.

Here are 40 addresses from a trade show. Check them all and give me a table
of only the valid ones. [paste list]

What does acme.com do? Pull their site description, socials and tech stack.

Find 10 heads of finance at fintech companies in Toronto. Show me the cost

Recipes
## Three jobs people use it for

- / 01
### Clean a list before a campaign
Paste or attach the addresses and ask Claude to verify them in one pass. It uses `validate_emails` (up to 1,000 at once) and can split the results into valid, risky and invalid. See [how email verification works](https://askravn.com/features/email-verification-api).
- / 02
### Research an account before a call
Ask for the company profile and a few senior people. Claude combines `scrape_website` (our own check) with [company enrichment](https://askravn.com/features/company-enrichment-api) and [people search](https://askravn.com/features/people-search-api), which run on your own provider key (People Data Labs).
- / 03
### Combine with your CRM connector
If you also have a CRM connector in Claude, ask it to pull contacts, verify them with Ravn and write the verdicts back. Claude does the hand-off; Ravn never connects to your CRM itself.
FAQ
## Common questions.
[All questions →](https://askravn.com/faq)Does Claude spend my lookups without asking?Claude only calls a tool when your request needs it, and Claude normally asks you to approve tool calls. Every tool is one lookup from your plan, and a miss is free; people and company lookups also run on your own provider key. Ask Claude to show the cost first and it will check `get_account` before running anything big.Can I use the connector on my phone?Yes. Add it once on the web or desktop and it is available in the Claude mobile apps signed in to the same account. Setup itself is easier on a larger screen.Why does Claude say an address is risky instead of valid?Usually the domain is catch-all, so its mail server accepts every address and no service can prove one mailbox exists. We mark that `risky` with the reason `catch_all_domain`. If the mailbox check did not run, we never call an address valid.How do I disconnect Ravn from Claude?Remove or disconnect it under Settings → Connectors. That stops Claude calling it. Your Ravn account and any connected provider keys stay in place.
