https://mcp.chatfuel.com/panelHow to add the Chatfuel connector

https://mcp.chatfuel.com/panel, click Continue, then Add. Keep the default sign-in settings. - Click Connect and sign in to Chatfuel. On the consent screen, leave Read-only off if Claude should be able to make changes.
How to use Chatfuel in a chat
In a chat, click + in the message box → Connectors and turn Chatfuel on. Then write what you need, for example "Show me my bots and which ones have AI turned on." The connector works in Claude Desktop and the mobile apps on the same Claude account without extra setup.
How to add the connector on Team and Enterprise plans
On Claude Team and Enterprise plans, an owner adds the connector first in Organization settings → Connectors. Members then open Customize → Connectors, click Connect next to Chatfuel and sign in with their own Chatfuel account, so each person works with their own permissions.
Can I connect Claude with a CLI token instead of signing in?
Yes. When adding the custom connector, choose No sign in under Authentication and add the request header Authorization: Bearer <token>, where <token> is your Chatfuel CLI token. On Team and Enterprise, everyone who uses that connector then acts as the token's owner, so prefer signing in there. Where to get the token is in Chatfuel MCP sign-in, read-only access and CLI token.
What can I ask Claude?
Claude can turn on Fuely AI, fill in the Knowledge Base, set up comment replies, add bookable services and review your chats. Examples:
- "Turn on AI for my Instagram bot."
- "Add an FAQ: we deliver Monday to Saturday."
- "Why didn't the bot answer on Instagram last night?"
More requests are in Chatfuel MCP example prompts. An overview of Claude with Chatfuel is on chatfuel.com/mcp/claude. For Claude Code in the terminal, see how to connect Claude Code to Chatfuel.
