# Connect Claude to LotsDirectory

Canonical page: https://lots.directory/agents/claude
Steps checked: 2026-10-13

Ask Claude to list your product on LotsDirectory and keep track of your directory submissions. Add LotsDirectory to Claude as a remote MCP server and sign in once.

MCP server URL: https://api.lots.directory/mcp
REST API docs: https://api.lots.directory/docs
Setup instructions for your agent: https://lots.directory/skill.md

## What you can do once connected

- Create and update your product listing, upload its images, and publish, schedule or unlist it.
- Get your badge snippet and check that it is live on your website.
- Read the weekly launch board and see where your product stands.
- Find the directories that fit your product, prepare your product packet and record each submission you make.
- Answer the questions visitors ask on your listing.
- Read your listing’s views, clicks and Domain Rating (by Ahrefs).
- Search and read the public listings in the directory.

The LotsDirectory dashboard does the whole job too: your listing, badge, launch week, directory submissions and analytics. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.

## Questions and troubleshooting

### How do I connect Claude to LotsDirectory?

Follow the Claude setup above to add https://api.lots.directory/mcp. Complete sign-in using the authentication method shown. Then ask “List my products on LotsDirectory”.

### Is LotsDirectory in Claude’s connector directory?

Add LotsDirectory as a custom connector: in Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, select + Add and choose Add custom connector. Paste the MCP URL and sign in to your LotsDirectory account.

### Do I need an API key to use LotsDirectory with Claude?

No. Claude signs in to LotsDirectory in your browser. API keys are for the REST API, for scripts and your own apps.

### What does LotsDirectory cost?

Current plans and prices are on https://lots.directory/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.

### Can my agent change other people’s listings?

No. Your agent can search and read public listings, and it can change only the listings your account owns.

### Does my agent submit my product to other directories?

Your agent and the dashboard work through the same directory list and the same records. Your agent reads what each directory asks for, prepares your product packet and records each submission, and you complete the steps a directory asks of its owner.

### Will I see my agent’s changes in my dashboard?

Yes. The dashboard and your agent use the same records, so a listing your agent creates or updates is the one you see in your dashboard.

### LotsDirectory tools do not appear in a chat

Select the + button at the lower left of the chat, open Connectors and switch LotsDirectory on for that conversation.

### New tools are missing after an update

Disconnect and reconnect the connector so Claude reloads the tool list.
