Connect Claude or ChatGPT
Paste one address and your assistant can read your signals. Nothing to install.
AI access lets an assistant that supports MCP read your Imperial Signals data on your behalf, so you can ask it questions in conversation rather than clicking through the interface.
The easy way: paste one address
- 01On the AI access (MCP) page, copy the server address. There is a copy button beside it.
- 02In Claude, open Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector, and paste the address. In ChatGPT, add it as a connector the same way.
- 03A window opens on Imperial Signals. Sign in if you are not already, read what the assistant is asking for, and click Allow.
That is the whole setup. You do not need Node.js, a config file, a command line, or a token. It works on the web, desktop and mobile apps. The connection then appears under Connected assistants, where you can disconnect it whenever you like.
Anything else: use a token
A script, a scheduled job or a command-line client has no browser to sign you in, so it carries a token instead. Generate a personal access token on the same page and give it to the client as an Authorization: Bearer header.
The token is shown once and cannot be recovered
It is hashed in storage, so nobody, including support, can read it back. If you lose it, revoke it and make another. Name each token after the device it is for, because that name is the only way to tell later which one to revoke. Treat it like a password: anyone holding it can read your watchlist as you.
What an assistant can do, either way
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| search_companies | Find companies by name |
| get_signals | Read signals, with filters |
| get_watchlist | List what you track |
| add_to_watchlist | Add a company to your watchlist |
| get_opportunities | Read tenders, if your plan includes them |
| get_my_profile | Read your profile and plan |
Your plan's limits apply through this route exactly as they do in the interface. An assistant cannot add a company past your cap or read tenders you are not entitled to.
