NudgeLink connects to Claude and ChatGPT. Ask things like "Which campaign has the best reply rate this month?" or "Run Scout for my Electronics PL campaign and draft a connection note for the best match" without leaving the chat.
The assistant never sends anything. It can't send messages, connection requests or replies. It can prepare the work: find people, add them to a campaign, write drafts. Every message is still reviewed and sent by you in NudgeLink.
Connect
Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude mobile):
- Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. If NudgeLink is listed in the connector directory, you can pick it there instead.
- Enter
https://api.nudgelink.co/mcp. - Claude opens a NudgeLink page. Sign in, read the permissions, and press Connect.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http nudgelink https://api.nudgelink.co/mcp
Then run /mcp in Claude Code, pick nudgelink and sign in. The sign-in page
opens in your browser.
ChatGPT:
- Add NudgeLink from the app directory, or add it as a connector with the same URL.
- Sign in to NudgeLink and approve the connection.
What it can do
| Ask for | Tool | Permission |
|---|---|---|
| Your leads, filtered by campaign | list_leads | See your prospects |
| Campaign performance: invites, acceptances, replies, reply rate | get_campaign_stats | See campaign performance |
| Recent replies and who sent them | get_inbox | Read replies |
| Your campaigns and their targeting | list_campaigns | See campaign performance |
| What a Scout run would search for and cost, without running it | preview_web_scout | See search results |
| Find people with Scout (Scale plan): by job title, at a list of companies, or at companies like your examples | start_web_scout | Start searches — spends credits |
| Status and results of a search | get_search_results | See search results |
| Add found people to your leads | add_to_leads | Add people to your leads (sends nothing) |
| A connection note or first message for a lead | draft_message | Write drafts (not saved or sent) |
| Which NudgeLink account this connection uses | get_profile | Included with any permission |
Searches cost the same credits as in the app, and the same limits apply: one search at a time, your plan, and your credit balance. An assistant can also start at most 10 Scout runs, 15 LinkedIn searches and 30 drafts an hour. People you add go into the campaign of the search that found them. Outreach only starts when you start that campaign in NudgeLink.
LinkedIn searches from an assistant are off by default
Two things use your connected LinkedIn account and are off for every assistant until you turn them on:
- LinkedIn lead search (
start_lead_search); - confirming Scout's web finds against LinkedIn.
To allow them for one assistant, go to Settings → Security → Connected AI assistants and tick Allow LinkedIn searches from this assistant. They use your account's daily limits and your credits. Scout still works without this: people found directly as LinkedIn profiles are ready to add, and the rest wait in "Check by hand" for you to check.
Disconnect
Go to Settings → Security → Connected AI assistants and press Disconnect. The assistant can't renew its access after that. An access token it already holds expires within 15 minutes.
Privacy
What the assistant can see, and who processes it, is covered in section 4 of our Privacy Policy. In short: tool results go to your assistant's provider (Anthropic or OpenAI), and NudgeLink never stores your conversations.
Troubleshooting
| You see | Why | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "This connection was not granted …" | The connection predates a new permission | Disconnect, then connect again |
| "LinkedIn search from an AI assistant is off" | The LinkedIn opt-in is off for this assistant | Turn it on in Settings → Security, or ask for a Scout search instead |
| "Scout is not enabled for this account" | Scout is a Scale-plan feature | Upgrade, or use LinkedIn search with the opt-in |
| "A search is already in progress" | One search at a time | Ask for the results of the current run first |
| "Scout isn't available from AI assistants on this connection" | Scout is switched off for assistants | Run Scout in NudgeLink under Leads → Scout |
