What changes for your legal team
You no longer leave the conversation to open Harvey. With the connector on, Claude can hand a legal question to Harvey, query the documents of a Vault project you can access, or consult a specialised research source, then fold the answer into the work you are doing with Claude.
Get a first legal answer in context. A product manager asks what makes a contract breach actionable. Ask Harvey puts that general question to Harvey's broad legal knowledge, with no document involved.
Work across a deal's file. Before a call, List Vault Projects shows the Vault projects your account can open, then Ask Harvey About Vault Project asks about their documents, for example a summary of indemnification clauses.
Check a specialised source. List Knowledge Sources tells you which research databases your account has, and Ask Harvey With Knowledge Source sends the question to one of them.
Now what the sheet leaves out. Harvey files this server under a beta label, and each call stands alone: Harvey keeps no conversation history between requests. Nothing runs by itself either: no tool reacts when a document lands in a Vault project. Background work on events belongs to an automation tool, a different job; the Integrations hub covers it.
The vocabulary in one minute
Five words you will meet while connecting Harvey.
- Connector
- The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while answering you.
- Tool
- One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the ones it needs by itself, and the directory lists each by name.
- Authorization
- The sign-in screen of the service itself, where you hand Claude its access. Granted once per person, and you can take it back.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes through with something that changes your account, shown right in the conversation.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service.
Connect Harvey to Claude in three steps
- 01
Find Harvey in Claude
In Claude's settings, open Customize, then Connectors, and look for Harvey in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner has to enable the connector first, before each member can sign in on their side.
- 02
Start the connection
Click Connect on its row, then sign in to Harvey in the window Harvey opens itself. The access granted there is yours alone, given once per person. If the link breaks later, use Disconnect and connect again.
- 03
Read the authorization screen
Check the authorization screen before you accept. It belongs to Harvey, not to Claude, and it decides what the access covers. You can also withdraw that access later from the Harvey side.
The 5 tools, sorted by what they do
Harvey gives Claude 5 tools: 5 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.
One group this time: every tool returns information without changing your Harvey account. Names stay exactly as the directory shows them.

What Claude reads (5)
5 toolsFive tools that ask Harvey or list what you can reach, with no change to your workspace.
Ask Harvey
Puts a broad legal question to Harvey and brings back its answer, drawn from Harvey's general legal knowledge rather than from any of your documents.
Ask Harvey About Vault Project
Points a question at the documents stored in one Vault project and returns Harvey's analysis.
Ask Harvey With Knowledge Source
Routes the question to one specialised research database chosen among those enabled for you, and returns Harvey's answer built on it. A source that is not enabled for your account stays out of reach.
List Vault Projects
Returns the Vault projects your Harvey login is allowed to see. It is how you see which projects a Vault question can target.
List Knowledge Sources
Lays out the research knowledge sources open to your account, so you know which ones a research question can use. Harvey limits research questions to the sources enabled for your account.
What Claude asks before acting
By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before each action it takes on an account for you. The request shows up in the conversation, when it matters.
On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether a member may let some actions through without being asked every time. They can also cap what a connector may do for the whole organization, keeping reads open and closing writes, and nobody overrides that from their own account. Claude works with your rights and nothing more: Harvey's server only reaches what the signed-in person may view in Harvey.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows availability by plan. That answer is published nowhere, connector by connector: a real gap in the catalogue.
The general rule is published: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector for the organization before members can connect. For the current state, check the connector's sheet in the official directory, the only place that shows it.
Where this connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: nothing starts when a document is added to Vault or a deadline approaches.
The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: an administrator can open actions that appear on no public sheet. The partner badge is not a security audit either, and Anthropic says so on every sheet: it does not choose the tools a publisher exposes and does not guarantee they behave as announced. Only Harvey's developer documentation covers this connector. It files the server under a beta label, and the directory sheet lists three regional addresses, for the US, the EU and Australia.
