What changes when Claude talks to Orion
Gravity says its server lets assistants such as Claude work directly with your Orion projects, metrics, workflows and knowledge base. From Claude you hand Orion an analysis question, read its decks, dashboards and reports, follow your KPIs or start a workflow, and the result comes back in the same conversation.
Ask Orion a question. Claude passes a plain-language question on with ask_orion, then reads the answer through get_conversation_history; Gravity says a multi-step analysis takes a minute or two.
Follow a project's KPIs. list_metrics lists them, get_metric_results gives their past results and get_metric_insights surfaces the significant changes and anomalies Orion detected on its own.
Read an existing deliverable. get_artifact returns a deck, dashboard or report as markdown, which Claude can then quote in its answer.
Start from what Orion suggests. list_recommendations returns the AI-generated recommendations for a project with suggested analysis prompts, and search_wiki looks through the knowledge base, so a question can start from what your team already wrote down.
What the sheet does not list: a tool that builds a dashboard or edits a project, and nothing runs in the background between two of your questions. For other platforms the team has documented, start from the Integrations hub.
Five words to get started
The Claude vocabulary you will run into here, in plain terms.
- 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 action the connector opens to Claude. Claude decides which to call; the directory sheet lists them by name.
- Authorization
- Orion's sign-in screen, where you give Claude the access it will use. Granted once per person, and you can revoke it.
- Approval
- The confirmation Claude waits for in the chat before it runs or deletes something in your account.
- MCP
- The shared standard behind connectors: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service.
Set up the Claude Orion by Gravity connector
- 01
Find Orion in the list
In Claude's settings, open Customize, then Connectors, and search for Orion. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner enables it for the organization first, then each member connects.
- 02
Sign in with your Orion credentials
Click Connect on its row. Orion opens its own sign-in window: you log in with your Orion account, and Gravity points out there is nothing to install on your side.
- 03
Review the authorization screen
Read what Orion's screen lists before you approve. Gravity says you sign in with your Orion credentials; the access is granted once, for you, and can be taken back the same way.
All 21 tools in the Claude Orion by Gravity connector
Orion by Gravity gives Claude 21 tools: 15 that read your account, 5 that change something in it, and 1 no official source describes.
Three groups: what Claude reads, what it runs or deletes, and one tool no source describes. Names stay exactly as Claude shows them.
- 15 read
- 5 write
- 1 not documented
What Claude reads (15)
15 toolsFifteen tools that look up projects, chats, metrics, workflows and deliverables without changing anything.
list_projects
Lists the Orion projects you have access to. Most other tools work on a project, so this is where its reference comes from. The list only covers projects your Orion account can open.
list_conversations
Lists a user's Orion chat conversations, so an earlier exchange can be found again from Claude. Gravity pairs it with conversation history to read what was said in each one.
get_conversation_history
Reads the messages of an existing Orion conversation. Gravity says it is also how the final answer is collected after a question sent with ask_orion.
list_artifacts
Lists the slide decks, dashboards and reports of a project, the deliverables Orion keeps for it. Each one can then be opened with get_artifact, which returns its content.
get_artifact
Returns the content of a deck, dashboard or report as markdown. Claude can then quote it or compare it with another one in the conversation. Gravity names markdown as the format, whatever the deliverable type.
search_wiki
Searches the Orion wiki, the knowledge base attached to your organization's projects. Gravity describes it simply as a search of the Orion wiki and knowledge base, with no further detail on results.
list_users
Lists every user in the Orion organization and returns, for each one, an ID, a name and a role. Those three fields are the only ones Gravity lists for this tool.
list_metrics
Lists the metrics, meaning the KPIs, defined for a project. It is the inventory, before any detail or result. For the definition and code of one of them, get_metric takes over.
get_metric
Brings back the full record for a single metric: its definition, its Python code, its data sources and its latest result. It is the most detailed view of a KPI that the sheet exposes.
get_metric_results
Returns the historical execution results of a metric, run after run, rather than its latest value alone. For the most recent value alone, get_metric is enough.
get_metric_insights
Surfaces the metric insights Orion detected on its own for a project: significant shifts and anomalies, across the KPIs it tracks. Claude reads them as Orion stored them, without recomputing anything.
list_workflows
Lists the workflows defined for a project in Orion. Each workflow found here can then be read in detail with get_workflow, which shows its steps and schedule.
get_workflow
Exposes a workflow's detail: its definition, with its steps and outputs, and its schedule. The schedule is part of what Gravity says this tool returns.
get_workflow_results
Still listed on the sheet, but Gravity says three other tools replaced it and calling it now returns an error. Those replacements are not on the sheet.
list_recommendations
Returns the AI-generated recommendations Orion produced for a project, each with suggested analysis prompts. Gravity describes these recommendations as generated by AI.
What Claude runs or deletes (5)
5 toolsFive tools Gravity files under actions: they create, trigger or delete. No source describes their confirmation step, so the general rule below applies.
ask_orion
Approval: see the ruleSends a plain-language question to Orion, which returns an AI-powered data analysis. Gravity calls it the primary tool for working with Orion.
create_conversation
Approval: see the ruleStarts a new Orion conversation, separate from the existing ones.
execute_metric
Approval: see the ruleTriggers the execution of a metric to refresh its current value, instead of reading the last stored result.
run_workflow
Approval: see the ruleTriggers a workflow run and returns the created run with its ID. Gravity says runs take minutes and their outputs land as they are ready.
delete_artifact
Approval: see the ruleDeletes a slide deck, dashboard or report artifact from Orion. Gravity itself labels this a destructive action.
Undocumented (1)
1 toolA tool the sheet publishes by name only: no official source says what it does, or whether it reads or changes anything.
get_company
The directory sheet publishes this tool by name only, and Gravity's tool reference doesn't mention it. No official source describes it.
No public page classifies it either way. The general approval rule further down is all there is to go on for this one.
What Claude asks before acting
By default, Claude stops and asks for your go-ahead before every action it takes on an account for you. The request shows up in the conversation, at the moment it matters.
Gravity says each tool carries annotations telling the assistant which ones are safe to call without confirmation, and puts its read tools in that bucket. For the five action tools, no source describes a specific confirmation, so the general rule applies. On Team and Enterprise, owners decide whether a member can let some actions through without a fresh prompt, and they can cap what the connector does organization-wide. And Claude works with your Orion rights, nothing more.
Which plans include it
None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows availability by plan. For a given connector, that information is not published anywhere: it is a real gap in the catalog.
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 turns the connector on for the organization before members connect. For Orion by Gravity's current status, check its sheet in the official directory. Worth knowing: only Gravity and the sheet document this connector; no Claude help article covers it.
Where this connector stops
A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: nothing fires when a metric slips or a workflow finishes.
The tool list is an observed floor, not a promise: an admin can open actions no sheet shows. 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 how they behave. Here, Gravity even documents more tools than the sheet publishes, hence the mismatch below.
One more point: only Gravity and the sheet describe this connector, and their lists differ. Trust what Claude shows once you are connected.
Which tools does the Orion by Gravity connector expose to Claude?
- Claude directory sheet ↗October 1, 202621 tools, including get_workflow_results and get_company, and no wiki write tool.
- Gravity's tool reference ↗undated page27 tools, including creating and editing wiki pages; get_workflow_results is replaced and returns an error; get_company is not listed.
What this page followsThe two lists don't match. The sheet is dated, Gravity's reference is not, and neither settles it alone: the list actually exposed is the one you see once the connector is plugged in. This page follows the sheet for the count and flags the gaps.
