Claude MyGeotab connectorWhat Claude can do in your MyGeotab account.
The Claude MyGeotab connector exposes 22 tools. 8 read your fleet data, 6 change something in your database, and 8 are described by no official source. Below: what Claude can answer, what it can create or delete, what Geotab blocks, and the sign-in step that trips people up.

What changes once Claude can reach your fleet
With the connector, you ask Claude in plain words, and Claude queries the MyGeotab database itself, under your own MyGeotab identity and clearances. Geotab says its tools reach any of 51+ supported entity types, and some of them can also create, update or delete records. Eight of the 22 tools on the directory sheet have no description in any official source.
Get the number without building the report. Ask how many devices are registered in the database, and Claude answers with GetCountOf, and pulls the underlying records with Get when you want the list, filtered by date range or field.
Handle faults after the workshop visit. You review the active faults on a vehicle, then ask Claude to acknowledge and dismiss the reviewed faults with DismissFaults.
Set up the fleet from the chat. Creating a zone around a depot or a new driver group goes through Add; renaming a trailer goes through Set; SendReportProcessingRequest queues a scheduled report in Excel or PDF.
Now what Claude will not do. Geotab blocks deleting devices, users, groups, trailers, fuel transactions and several other entities, whatever you ask. Some additions still fail, such as text messages. Eight tools on the sheet are documented nowhere, so nothing can be said about them. FedRAMP databases are not supported. And nothing runs by itself: a speeding event does not wake Claude up. Hands-off rules of that kind belong to an automation tool, which does a different job; the Integrations hub covers that side.
Five words before you connect
The vocabulary around this connector, in one minute.
- Connector
- A link you set up once between Claude and an account you already have, here MyGeotab, so Claude can work in it while it answers you.
- Tool
- One named thing a connector lets Claude do. Claude picks the tools it needs by itself, and the directory sheet lists all 22 by name.
- Authorization
- The Geotab sign-in screen where you grant the access Claude will use. Granted once per person, and it can be revoked later.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for before it goes ahead with something that changes your fleet data, shown in the conversation.
- MCP
- The shared standard connectors are built on: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service such as MyGeotab.
Connect MyGeotab to Claude in three steps
- 01
Find MyGeotab in Claude
Open Claude's settings, then Customize and Connectors, and look up MyGeotab in the list. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner must enable it before each member can sign in.
- 02
Start the connection
Click Connect on its row and sign in on the Geotab page that opens. If the link breaks later, Disconnect and connect again; Geotab adds that access can also be revoked from your Unified Login settings.
- 03
Read the authorization screen
Check what Geotab asks for before you accept. That screen belongs to Geotab, not to Claude, and it sets what the access covers. Every call then runs under your own MyGeotab identity and clearances.
The 22 tools, split by what they do
MyGeotab MCP gives Claude 22 tools: 8 that read your account, 6 that change something in it, and 8 no official source describes.
Three groups: what Claude reads, what it changes, and what no official source describes. Names stay exactly as Claude shows them.
- 8 read
- 6 write
- 8 not documented
What Claude reads (8)
8 toolsEight tools that query your fleet data and leave it as it is.
DecodeVins
Turns one or more vehicle identification numbers into make, model and year, in a single call.
Get
Queries any of the 51+ supported entity types, with filters, date ranges and a choice of fields.
GetAceResults
Puts a plain-language analytical question to Geotab Ace, Geotab's own AI, and brings back its insight on your fleet data.
GetCountOf
Returns how many records of a given type exist rather than the records themselves, rather than a list.
GetEmissionComplianceDeadline
Looks up emission compliance deadlines by jurisdiction.
GetHosRuleSets
Lists the Hours of Service rule sets available for configuring driver compliance.
GetPostedRoadSpeedsForDevice
Retrieves the historical posted speed limits along the path a device travelled.
ListEntities
Shows the full set of entity types your database supports through the connector, useful before asking for records of a type you are not sure exists.
What Claude changes (6)
6 toolsSix tools that create, update, delete or trigger something in MyGeotab. No source ties a specific confirmation to them, so the general rule below applies.
Add
Approval: see the ruleCreates new records in your MyGeotab database: users, groups, zones, trailers, rules and other entity types Geotab supports.
DismissFaults
Approval: see the ruleAcknowledges and dismisses active fault records once someone has reviewed them.
EmissionEnrollDevices
Approval: see the ruleRegisters vehicles in emission compliance reporting programs from the conversation.
Remove
Approval: see the ruleDeletes records by type, such as zones, rules, routes or distribution lists.
SendReportProcessingRequest
Approval: see the ruleQueues a scheduled MyGeotab report for generation in Excel or PDF.
Set
Approval: see the ruleUpdates properties of existing records, such as names, settings or configurations.
Undocumented (8)
8 toolsThe directory publishes these eight names. Geotab's pages either skip them or only list them as blocked, so we do not describe what they do.
DownloadMediaFile
Geotab's limitations article mentions this name only to say it is blocked for now, next to its upload counterpart. No source says what it would do once unblocked, so this page does not guess, and the general approval rule below is all that covers it.
GetDevicesInformation
The directory lists this tool by name, yet neither Geotab's developer page nor its two support articles say a word about it. No source documents it, so this page cannot tell you which group it belongs to, and only the default approval rule applies.
GetEntity
Only the name of this one is public. No source describes it: Geotab's capability table and its limitations list are silent, and Anthropic publishes nothing either. Treat it as unknown territory; the approval rule further down is the only thing that frames it.
GetMediaUrl
This tool appears on the sheet and in no Geotab or Anthropic text we could read. Nothing sourced tells us its purpose or its effect on your data, so this page leaves it undescribed and points to the general approval rule.
GetSkill
A bare name in the directory list. Geotab documents a long series of methods, but not this one, and no official page explains it. Until a source does, its group stays undetermined and the default approval rule is what applies.
SearchMedia
Neither of Geotab's support articles nor its developer page covers this name, and Anthropic adds nothing. We have no sourced sentence to go on, so its effect is undocumented here, and the approval rule below is the only frame you can rely on for now.
SubmitFeedback
On the sheet, missing from every source we read. Not one Geotab page and no Anthropic text attaches a description to this name, so nothing about its effect can be stated here. The general approval rule further down is what covers it until a source appears.
UploadMediaFile
Geotab names it once, in its limitations list, as blocked for now alongside the download tool. Beyond that status, no official text describes it, so this page makes no claim about it and refers you to the default approval rule.
What Claude checks with you first
By default, Claude stops and asks before an action it takes on an account for someone. With six tools able to create, change, delete or trigger things in MyGeotab, that default matters here.
No source ties a specific confirmation to any MyGeotab tool, so the general rule is what applies. On Team and Enterprise, owners decide whether members may let some actions through without being asked again, and they can restrict a connector for the whole organization, for example keeping reads and closing writes. Nobody overrides that from a personal account. Geotab adds its own ceiling: every call runs under your MyGeotab identity and clearances, and the server cannot return data your account is not allowed to see.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory states plan availability. For MyGeotab, as for every other connector, that answer is published nowhere.
The published rule is general: remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner opens a connector for the organization before members can each connect. Separately, Geotab says the server is included at no extra cost with its GO Plan, a Geotab fleet subscription, not a Claude plan. For the live state, check the connector's sheet in the official directory.
Where this connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you, so nothing fires when a vehicle speeds, idles or throws a fault.
This connector is documented by its publisher only: no Claude help article covers it, and the facts above come from the directory sheet and three Geotab pages. The verification badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic states on every sheet that it neither picks a publisher's tools nor guarantees their behaviour. Geotab also says its server keeps no copies of your fleet records and that MyGeotab rate limits pass straight through as errors. Other connectors reviewed the same way sit in the Claude connectors hub.
Do you add MyGeotab from the directory or as a custom connector?
- Geotab developer page ↗UndatedTells Claude users to open the connector settings, choose to add a custom connector and paste the MyGeotab server address. It adds that on Team and Enterprise only administrators can add connectors.
- Geotab support article, Getting started ↗UndatedStates that the MyGeotab server is already pre-configured within Claude and points to Claude's connector settings to add it.
What this page followsBoth Geotab pages are undated and describe two routes. MyGeotab is listed in Claude's official directory, so the directory route is what Claude shows today; the server address still works for a custom connector. We do not call either page out of date.
