Overview

What changes once Claude can query your finance data

Links is a platform finance teams use to pull operational and billing systems into one place. Through Links Connect, Claude can query the records Links has already synced from tools like HubSpot and Stripe. You ask "do we have unpaid invoices this month?" and Claude looks it up instead of you exporting a spreadsheet.

Check billing without opening Stripe. links__mcp__get_stripe_invoice and links__mcp__get_stripe_customer return synced invoices and customers, so Claude can list what is still open or who a charge belongs to.

Read the pipeline in one question. links__mcp__get_hubspot_deal brings back synced deals, which lets Claude summarize outstanding and won deals for the year so far.

Connect a person to an account. links__mcp__get_hubspot_contact and links__mcp__get_hubspot_company return contact and company records, enough to answer which people sit under a given customer.

What Claude will not do here: Links states that no tool creates, updates or deletes data, and none calls HubSpot or Stripe live. Claude reads what Links synced earlier, so a payment made since the last sync may not be there yet. A tool also exists only for objects you enabled in Links. And nothing runs on its own: Claude queries only while it answers you. If you want a flow that fires by itself, that is the job of an automation tool; the Integrations hub covers that side.

Vocabulary

Five words before you connect

The terms you will meet around this connector.

Connector
A link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work with it while it answers.
Tool
One named capability the connector gives Claude. It decides which to call mid-answer; the directory lists each tool by name.
Authorization
The service's own sign-in and consent screen, where you grant the access Claude will use. Once per person, and revocable.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before an action that changes an account, shown in the conversation when it matters.
MCP
The shared standard connectors run on, which is what lets an assistant like Claude reach an outside service.
Connect

Connect Links Connect to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find Links Connect

    Open Claude's settings, go to Customize then Connectors, and search for Links Connect. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector before members can each sign in.

  2. 02

    Sign in to Links

    Click Connect on its row, then log in with your Links account in the window Links opens. If the link stops working, Disconnect and connect again; Links says disconnecting revokes Claude's access at once.

  3. 03

    Review the consent screen

    Links shows a consent screen listing the permissions Claude asks for. Read it before you allow it: it belongs to Links, not to Claude, and it is what defines the access. You can take that access back later.

Tools

The 8 tools: 7 that read, 1 undocumented

Links Connect gives Claude 8 tools: 7 that read your account, 0 that change something in it, and 1 no official source describes.

Tool names stay exactly as Claude shows them, with the links__mcp__ prefix the directory uses. Each returns synced records, paged and filterable on the columns its source exposes.

  • 7 read
  • 1 not documented

What Claude reads (7)

7 tools

Seven tools that query records Links has already synced. Links states none of them modifies data.

Undocumented (1)

1 tool

The directory publishes this name and nothing else. No official text describes it, and this page will not guess from the name.

Approvals

What Claude checks with you first

By default, Claude stops and asks for confirmation before each action it takes on an account for someone.

Links documents a consent screen when you first connect, and nothing about a confirmation per tool call, so the default rule applies to all eight tools. On Team and Enterprise, workspace owners decide whether members may let some actions through without a prompt, and they can restrict a connector for the whole organization. Claude also inherits your rights: Links scopes every answer to your own organization's data, and Claude cannot see beyond what your account reaches.

Plans

Which plans this works on

Plan availability is published for no single connector: 0 of the 819 directory sheets shows it.

The published rule is general. Remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, and on Team and Enterprise an Owner or Primary Owner enables the connector before members connect. Links' own troubleshooting table names specific plans; the limits section quotes it next to Anthropic's rule. For the live state on your account, check the Links Connect sheet in the official directory.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude queries Links while it answers you, so no tool reacts when an invoice is paid or a deal closes.

By default the sheet exposes reading only, and Links goes further: it calls every tool strictly read-only. Treat that as the observed floor; an administrator can still open actions no public sheet shows. Only Links documents this connector, no Claude help page does. The partner badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic notes on every sheet that it does not choose a publisher's tools or guarantee them.

Two official sources disagree

Which Claude plans can use Links Connect?

What this page followsNeither side is outdated and they do not cover the same ground: Anthropic gives a rule for all connectors, Links writes about its own. It is the publisher speaking, in a troubleshooting line, not Anthropic. Check the directory sheet on your own account before trusting either.

FAQ

Questions about the Claude Links Connect connector

01What can Claude do with the Links Connect connector?
With Links Connect, Claude queries the business records Links has synced into your workspace and answer from them. The documented tools cover HubSpot contacts, companies, deals and products, plus Stripe customers, products and invoices. Each returns paged results and accepts filters on the columns its source exposes. That lets Claude answer questions such as which invoices are unpaid this month or which contacts belong to a given company. An eighth tool appears on the sheet with no description.
02Can Claude change or delete data through Links Connect?
Not with the tools documented today. Links states that every tool only returns records it has already synced, and that no tool creates, updates or deletes data. The directory sheet also shows reading only. Treat that as a floor rather than a promise: an administrator can open actions that appear on no public sheet, and one listed tool has no description at all. Check the tool list on your account if that matters.
03Does Claude ask before it queries Links?
By default, Claude asks for confirmation before each action it takes on an account for someone. Links describes a consent screen when you first connect, but no source describes a confirmation for any individual tool call, so that default rule is the one to rely on. On Team and Enterprise workspaces, owners decide whether members may skip the prompt for some actions, and they can restrict the connector for everyone.
04Which plans is Links Connect available on?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and none of the 819 directory sheets shows it. The general rule says remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, with an Owner enabling them first on Team and Enterprise. Links' own troubleshooting page names specific plans, and this page quotes that line in its limits section. The directory sheet on your account shows the live state.
05Can Claude see all of our company's data in Links?
No. Links scopes every answer to your own organization's data, and Claude works with the rights of the person who connected. On top of that, a tool only exists for a data source you have connected in Links with AI access switched on for that object: if only HubSpot deals are enabled, Claude has nothing to read about invoices. An owner on a Team or Enterprise workspace can also narrow what the connector may do.
06Why doesn't Claude show live figures?
Because Links Connect reads synced data, not the source system in real time. Links says no tool calls Stripe, Salesforce or any other source in the middle of a request; each one queries what was synced earlier into your workspace. A payment or a deal update that happened after the last sync will not appear yet. If Claude answers "no data found", check in the Links dashboard that the source is connected.
07Should I use Claude or an automation tool with this data?
They do different jobs, so choose by use rather than by ranking. Claude with Links Connect fits a question you ask in the moment: what is unpaid, which deals are open, who is behind this account. An automation tool fits work that must run on its own when something happens, such as reacting to a paid invoice. The connector does not do that by itself, since Claude only calls its tools while answering you.
