Connecting TRAEDE to Claude lets you ask Claude questions about your TRAEDE data and turn the answers into PDFs, presentations, Excel sheets, and more — all in plain language. You connect TRAEDE once as a custom connector in Claude's Cowork mode, then log in to the specific TRAEDE brand account you want Claude to work with.

Before you start

• A Claude account with Cowork mode available.
• Login credentials for the TRAEDE brand account you want to connect.

Note: Claude connects to one TRAEDE brand account at a time. If you manage multiple brands, you will be asked to pick which one to connect during login.

Add the TRAEDE connector

You only need to do this once per Claude account.

1. In Claude, open Cowork from the top menu.
2. In the left sidebar, click Customize → Connectors.
3. Click Add custom connector.
4. Name the connector TRAEDE.
5. In the URL field, paste https://api.traede.com/ai/mcp.
6. Save. TRAEDE now appears in your list of connectors.

Connect your TRAEDE account

1. In the connectors list, find TRAEDE and click Connect.
2. You are forwarded to TRAEDE. Log in to the brand account you want Claude to work with.
3. If you have access to multiple TRAEDE accounts, select the specific brand account to connect.
4. Approve the connection. You are returned to Claude.
5. Claude shows the list of tools the connector can use. Leave the defaults as they are — Claude will ask for permission each time it actually uses a tool.

Approving tool permissions

The first time Claude uses a TRAEDE tool in a task, it asks for permission. Click Allow once to let it run that tool for the current request. You can also allow tools for the whole session if you prefer not to be asked again.

Try it out

Start a new task in Cowork and include the word TRAEDE in your prompt so Claude knows to use the connector. Below are three prompts that work well, ranging from simple to elaborate.

1. Simple data lookup

What was my revenue in 2025 in TRAEDE?

Good for a quick sanity check that the connection is working.

2. PDF report — top products

I have a board meeting tomorrow and I need a sleek presentation. Please take my 2025 revenue from TRAEDE, group it by products, and present the top 10 in a sleek PDF. Include product images, item number, name, revenue, and sold quantity.

3. Board deck — multi-slide presentation

Create a presentation with three slides using data from TRAEDE:

Slide 1 — Top 10 products by revenue, with product images.
Slide 2 — Top 5 categories by revenue. For each category, include three product images that represent the category.
Slide 3 — Top customers by revenue, including the country flag for each customer.

Tips and things to know

• Say "TRAEDE" explicitly. You may have several connectors in Claude. Mentioning TRAEDE in the prompt makes sure Claude looks in the right place.
• Large reports take time. Generating a multi-slide deck with images pulled from TRAEDE can take several minutes. Claude will keep you updated as it works.
• Review AI-generated output before sharing. Always double-check numbers, product information, and images before sending a report to customers, investors, or the board.
• Your TRAEDE data is shared with Claude. When you run a task, the relevant TRAEDE data is sent to Claude so it can answer the question. Only connect accounts and run prompts where this is acceptable.
