3. Review the permissions being requested (read-only database and document search access)
4. Click Authorize to grant access
5. You will be redirected back to Claude and the integration will show Configure

Step 4: Start using it

1. Open a new conversation in Claude
2. You should see the Pulse integration listed in the menu under Connectors
3. Ask a question that requires document search or database access (force MCP use by adding "use the Pulse MCP")

Tips

• Tool approval — Claude asks for permission before each tool call
• Read-only access — all queries are read-only and cannot modify data

Notes

Claude uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Your credentials are never shared with Claude — only a scoped access token is exchanged.
