What you'll learn
How to connect Cloverleaf to your Claude account
What coaching capabilities become available once connected
How to verify the connection is working
Who can do this: Anyone with a Cloverleaf account, on any Claude plan (Free, Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise). Your Cloverleaf organization admin needs to have MCP enabled first (see below). On Claude Team and Enterprise plans, a Claude admin also needs to add Cloverleaf for the organization.
Why connect Cloverleaf to Claude?
Claude is a general-purpose AI assistant with no knowledge of how you or your teammates think, communicate, or work best. Connecting the Cloverleaf Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector gives Claude access to your real assessment results and coaching insights, including DISC, 16 Types, Motivating Values, and more.
This means coaching guidance you get inside Claude is grounded in actual behavioral data rather than generic advice. Once connected, you can ask Claude to help you prep for a 1:1, navigate a difficult conversation, or understand how two people work together, and get responses informed by your Cloverleaf Relationship Profiles.
Cloverleaf is listed in Claude's connector directory, so there's no manual setup or server URL to paste. Cloverleaf is also an interactive connector, which means Claude can render personality cards and relationship dynamics as live visuals inside the conversation.
Step 1: Enable MCP in Cloverleaf (Cloverleaf admins)
Before anyone on your team can connect Claude to Cloverleaf, a Cloverleaf organization admin needs to switch on the MCP integration. This is a one-time setting that applies to your whole organization, and it's separate from the Claude-side connector setup below.
In Cloverleaf, open your Organization Settings and go to Configuration > Integrations (Integrations settings).
Find the Model Context Protocol (MCP) card.
Click the Enable button on the MCP card. Once it's on, the button switches to Disable. That's how you know MCP is active for your organization.
Only organization admins can see and change this setting. If you don't have access, ask a Cloverleaf admin in your organization to turn it on.
Step 2: Connect Cloverleaf to Claude
On Claude Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner needs to add Cloverleaf for your organization before you'll find it in the directory. See For Claude Team and Enterprise admins below.
In Claude, go to Customize > Connectors. You can also click the + button in the lower left of any chat, hover Connectors, and select Manage connectors.
Click the Add dropdown next to Connectors, then select Browse connectors.
Search for Cloverleaf and select it.
Click Connect to open the Cloverleaf authorization page.
Review the permissions. Cloverleaf will be able to verify your identity, access your basic profile, view your email address, read your assessments and coaching insights, and act on coaching data on your behalf.
Click Authorize
You'll know it worked when
You'll see a "Connected to Cloverleaf" confirmation, and Cloverleaf will show as Connected in your Connectors panel. It's now available across Claude on web, desktop, and mobile.
Step 3: Add Cloverleaf for your team (Claude admins)
On Claude Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner or Primary Owner adds Cloverleaf for the organization once. This makes Cloverleaf available to everyone on the team, but each person still connects their own Cloverleaf account using the steps above.
In Claude, go to Organization settings > Connectors.
Click Browse connectors at the bottom of the page.
Select Cloverleaf and click Add to your team.
If you're on a Free, Pro, or Max plan, you can skip this. Nothing else is required.
Note: This is separate from enabling MCP in Cloverleaf. Both need to happen: a Cloverleaf admin turns on the MCP card in Cloverleaf, and a Claude Owner adds the Cloverleaf connector in Claude.
Already connected Cloverleaf as a custom connector?
If you set up Cloverleaf before it was listed in Claude's directory, remove the old custom version so you don't end up with two Cloverleaf entries.
Go to Customize > Connectors.
Find the Cloverleaf entry labeled Custom and remove it.
Add Cloverleaf from the directory using the steps in How do I connect Cloverleaf to Claude? section above.
Your Cloverleaf data, assessments, and coaching history are unaffected.
Adding the Cloverleaf skill as a plugin
In addition to the connector, you can add the Cloverleaf coaching skill to Claude as a personal plugin. This installs the /cloverleaf skill from the public Cloverleaf marketplace and keeps it up to date automatically. It takes about a minute.
Open the Customize panel in Claude's left sidebar. Next to Personal plugins, click the + icon, then choose Create plugin > Add marketplace.
In the Add marketplace dialog, paste the public Cloverleaf repository URL — https://github.com/cloverleaf-coach/cloverleaf-skills — then click Sync. Claude shows a standard trust warning for marketplace plugins; this is the official Cloverleaf repository, so it's safe to continue.
The marketplace now appears in the Directory under Plugins. Find the Cloverleaf plugin card and click the + to add it.
You'll see a confirmation that Cloverleaf is installed and ready to use.
Cloverleaf now appears under Personal plugins in Customize, with its source listed as the marketplace. Because it's linked to the marketplace, it keeps syncing automatically as new coaching skills are released.
To update the plugin later — or turn on automatic updates — open the Customize panel, click the + next to Personal plugins, and choose Browse plugins to open the Directory.
In the Directory, go to Plugins > Personal. Under Local uploads, click the ⋯ menu next to cloverleaf-skills.
The menu shows the currently synced commit. Click Check for updates to pull the latest version right away, or toggle Sync automatically to update whenever a new commit lands on the default branch. You can also Remove the marketplace from here.
With Sync automatically turned on, the toggle turns blue and Cloverleaf stays up to date on its own, with no manual refresh needed
Once installed, invoke it by typing /cloverleaf in any chat, or let Claude use it automatically for relevant coaching tasks.
What can I do once connected?
With the connector active, you can ask Claude questions like:
"What does my Cloverleaf Relationship Profile say about how I show up under pressure?"
"Help me prep for a 1:1 with [teammate name]."
"How should I give [teammate name] feedback about a missed deadline so it actually lands?"
"Show me the relationship dynamics between me and [teammate name]."
"Give me my coaching for today."
Claude will pull your real assessment data and interpreted personality dynamics directly into the conversation.
To use the connector in a chat, make sure Cloverleaf is toggled on in that conversation's tool settings.
How do I verify the connection is working?
Start a new chat and ask: "Using Cloverleaf, what does my Relationship Profile say about how I show up under pressure?"
If the connection is working, Claude will respond with a Cloverleaf personality card grounded in your real assessment results.
If Claude says it cannot find the tool, go back to Customize > Connectors, confirm Cloverleaf shows as connected, and use the Refresh tools list option.
Troubleshooting
Cloverleaf doesn't appear when I search the directory. On Team and Enterprise plans, your Claude Owner needs to add it for the organization first.
Claude connects but says it has no data for me. Check that a Cloverleaf admin has enabled the MCP card in your Cloverleaf organization settings.
Claude can't find a teammate. Claude only reaches people in your Cloverleaf organization who have completed assessments. Confirm they appear in your Cloverleaf dashboard.
Using Cloverleaf with Claude Code, the API, or another MCP client?
The directory listing covers the Claude app. If you're connecting from Claude Code, the Claude API's MCP connector, or another MCP client, point it at Cloverleaf's remote MCP server:
https://app.cloverleaf.me/api/mcp
Authentication is handled through OAuth when you connect. Leave any client ID and secret fields blank.
