Bring your workplace into Claude. Once Kadence is connected, you can book spaces, check who's in, and invite visitors without leaving your chat.

Connecting Kadence to Claude uses the Kadence MCP, which is currently in beta. If you'd like to join the beta, contact your Customer Success Manager or [email protected].

Before you start

  • Your Kadence Global Admin needs to turn on MCP access for your organisation. In Kadence, go to Settings → Integrations → MCP access and switch it on.

  • You need a Claude account. Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans. Free plans are limited to one custom connector.

  • You'll need the Kadence MCP address: https://mcp.onkadence.co/mcp
