The Tanvik MCP server lets you connect your Tanvik workspace to Claude (and other MCP-compatible AI clients) so you can ask questions about your leads, contacts, conversations, orders, and campaigns — and take actions like sending a WhatsApp message — directly from a chat, in plain language. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools and data. Tanvik ships an MCP server that exposes your workspace’s data and actions as tools Claude can call on your behalf.

​
What you can do

Once connected, you can ask Claude things like:
  • “How many new leads came in this week, and which are still unassigned?”
  • “Show me the last conversation with +919876543210.”
  • “What’s my wallet balance and recent transactions?”
  • “List my open support tickets.”
  • “Send a WhatsApp message to this customer letting them know their order shipped.”
Claude reads the relevant data through the MCP server and responds — and, for actions you’ve explicitly enabled, carries them out.

​
Scoped to your workspace

The MCP server authenticates with the same tvk_... API key as the rest of the Tanvik API, and every tool call is scoped to your own client account. Claude can only ever see and act on your workspace’s data — never another client’s, and never anything requiring Tanvik super-admin access.

​
Safe by default

The server splits tools into two categories:

Read-only tools

Let Claude view data — leads, contacts, conversations, orders, wallet, and more. On by default.

Action tools

Let Claude change things — send a message, create a ticket. Off by default, until you turn them on.
You control exactly which tools Claude can use from the Permissions page in your dashboard. Every call is recorded in an audit log.

​
Requirements

1

A Pro or Enterprise plan

MCP access is part of API access, which is available on Pro and Enterprise plans. If your plan doesn’t include it, you’ll see an upgrade prompt.
2

A Tanvik API key

The MCP connection is authorized with a tvk_... key generated from Settings → API Keys. See Authentication.
3

An MCP-compatible client

Claude (web, desktop, or mobile) on a plan that supports custom connectors. Any other MCP-compatible client works too.
