Overview

What changes for your website analytics

Instead of clicking through Clarity's dashboard filters, you ask Claude a question in plain English about your site. It queries your Clarity project, pulls the numbers or the list of recordings that match, and answers in the chat. For a marketer who opens Clarity twice a month, that removes the hunt for the right screen.

Get a traffic answer without building a filter. The weekly report needs sessions by country for the last three days. query-analytics-data takes the question in natural language and returns the figures from your project's analytics.

Go straight to the sessions that matter. A checkout bug was reported on mobile. list-session-recordings returns the recordings timeline with a link to each session, its duration and the key interactions, so you pick the sessions worth watching.

Settle a how-to question on the spot. Someone asks how custom events work. query-documentation-data fetches snippets from Clarity's own documentation, screenshots included, without leaving the conversation.

What the directory sheet does not tell you: this is an extension that runs in Claude Desktop only, and it needs an API token you generate in your Clarity project. By default the sheet only exposes reading, which is a floor observed on a public page, not a guarantee. Clarity works best with one focused question at a time and a stated date range. Nothing runs on its own either: no tool reacts when traffic drops. For alerts on a schedule, that is an automation tool's job; the Integrations hub covers that side.

Vocabulary

The vocabulary in one minute

Five words you will meet while setting up Clarity.

Connector
The link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
Desktop extension
A connector installed on your own computer inside Claude Desktop, rather than reached over the web from any Claude app.
Tool
One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the ones it needs on its own; the directory lists them by name.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes ahead with an action, shown in the conversation at the moment it matters.
MCP
The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service.
Connect

Set up Clarity in Claude Desktop in three steps

  1. 01

    Open the extensions in Claude Desktop

    This connector installs on your computer, so it lives in Claude Desktop and not in the web app. Microsoft's instructions go through File, then Settings, then Extensions, where you search for Microsoft Clarity.

  2. 02

    Install the extension

    Click Install on the Microsoft Clarity entry. There is no sign-in window at this point: a desktop extension does not open the service's login page the way a web connector does.

  3. 03

    Paste your Clarity API token

    Configure the extension with an API token from your Clarity project. That token decides which project Claude reads, and until it is in place the extension has no Clarity data to work with.

Tools

The 3 Clarity tools, grouped by what they do

Microsoft Clarity gives Claude 3 tools: 3 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.

All three read. Names below are the ones the directory sheet and the extension manifest use; Microsoft's README shows two of them under other names.

  • 3 read

What Claude reads (3)

3 tools

Three tools that look at your Clarity project and its documentation without changing anything.

list-session-recordings

Returns the timeline of your project's session recordings: a link to each session, how long it lasted, and the notable user interactions inside it. Filters narrow it by page URL, device, browser, OS, country or city.

When it helps
support reports a broken checkout on phones and you want the mobile sessions where visitors hit a JavaScript error.

query-documentation-data

Pulls snippets from Microsoft Clarity's documentation to answer a question about setup, features, usage, troubleshooting or integrations, with step-by-step screenshots when they exist.

When it helps
a new marketer asks where to start with Clarity setup and nobody on the team remembers.
Watch out
Microsoft advises one documentation topic per question rather than a multi-part request.

Sourcegithub.com · February 24, 2026 ↗

query-analytics-data

Answers a plain-language question with data from your Clarity project, such as traffic figures, browsers used or behaviour metrics, by running one retrieval or aggregation.

When it helps
the Monday meeting wants last week's sessions split by browser, and the dashboard is not open.
Watch out
give a date range; without one, Claude is meant to ask you for it before running the query.

Approvals

What Claude asks you before acting

By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before each action it takes on an account for you. No source describes a Clarity-specific confirmation, so that general rule is the one that applies here.

On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether a member may let some actions through without being asked each time, and they can restrict what a connector may do for the whole organization, for example keeping reads open and closing anything else. That setting binds everyone, and nobody works around it from their own account. The token you paste also sets a hard edge: Claude reads the Clarity project that token opens, and nothing beyond it.

Plans

Which plans this is available on

Out of 819 directory sheets, not one shows availability by plan. The connector-by-connector answer is published nowhere: it is a real gap in the catalogue.

The general rule is public: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile, while desktop extensions like this one install on Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner turns a connector on for the organization first. For this extension's current state, check its sheet in the official directory.

Limits

Where this connector stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: nothing fires when your bounce rate jumps or a new recording lands.

Everything known here comes from Microsoft's GitHub repository and the directory sheet; Claude's help centre has no page on Clarity. The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise, and the verification badge is not a security audit: Anthropic states on every sheet that it does not choose the tools a publisher exposes, nor guarantee they behave as announced. For a connector that can also write, see the Claude airtable connector.

Two official sources disagree

Under which names does Claude see the Clarity tools?

What this page followsBoth come from Microsoft and describe the same three jobs; only two names differ. This page follows the manifest, because it matches the directory sheet. Check the tool list shown in the extension's settings on your own Claude Desktop.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Claude Microsoft Clarity connector

01What can Claude do with the Microsoft Clarity connector?
Claude can read your Clarity project and answer questions about it inside Claude Desktop. The extension lists three tools: one returns the timeline of session recordings with filters such as device, browser or country, one answers analytics questions in plain language from your project's data, and one fetches snippets from Clarity's documentation. That covers traffic questions, finding the right recordings to watch and quick how-to answers, all without opening the Clarity dashboard.
02Can Claude change settings or delete data in Clarity?
Not with the tools the directory sheet shows. All three documented tools read: recordings, analytics and documentation. None is described as editing a project, deleting recordings or changing a setting. That list is a floor and not a guarantee, since an admin can open more than a public sheet shows. Check the tool list in the extension's settings if it matters for your team; Microsoft's repository describes no tool that writes.
03Does Claude ask before it queries my Clarity data?
By default, Claude asks for confirmation before each action it takes on an account for you. No source describes a confirmation specific to a Clarity tool, so that default rule is what applies to all three. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether members may let some actions through without a prompt, and they can restrict what the connector may do for the entire organization. A member cannot lift that restriction alone.
04Which Claude plans is the Microsoft Clarity connector available on?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and no directory sheet shows it. The general rule says remote connectors are open to all users across Claude apps, while desktop extensions such as this one install on Claude Desktop. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner has to enable a connector before members can use it. The connector's sheet in the official directory remains the only place with its current state.
05Does Claude see every Clarity project I have?
No. Claude reads the project behind the API token you pasted into the extension, and that is all. The token is generated inside one project, under its Data Export settings, so another project means another token. Within that project, Claude's reach follows what the token opens. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners can also restrict the connector for the whole organization, and members cannot undo that from their own account.
06Why can't I find Microsoft Clarity in Claude on the web?
Because it is a desktop extension. The directory lists it as a local connector that works with Claude Desktop, so it installs on your computer through the extensions settings rather than the web connector list. Open Claude Desktop, search for Microsoft Clarity among the extensions, install it and paste an API token generated in your Clarity project. Without that token, the extension has no project data to read at all.
07Claude or an automation tool for Microsoft Clarity?
They answer different needs, so it depends on the job. Claude works inside a conversation: you ask a question about your traffic or recordings, it queries Clarity and answers, and nothing else happens once you stop typing. It does not watch your site or send an alert when a metric moves. For a report that runs on a schedule or reacts to an event, that is an automation tool's role. For answers on demand, the connector fits.
