Connect your Trove library directly to an AI assistant. Trove uses a secure MCP connection and asks you to sign in and approve access.

Get started

You need a Trove account and an AI client that supports custom remote MCP connections. Use the endpoint below, then authorize Trove in the browser window your client opens.

TROVE MCP ENDPOINT

https://customer.usetrove.app/mcp

Use this endpoint only in your chosen AI client. You will sign in to Trove and approve the connection; do not paste your Trove password into a chat.

ChatGPT

Add Trove as a custom plugin

STEP 1

In ChatGPT, open Settings and find Plugins or the custom MCP connection area for your workspace.

STEP 2

Choose the option to add a custom plugin or connector, name it Trove, and paste the endpoint above.

STEP 3

Sign in to Trove and approve access when ChatGPT opens the authorization page. Enable Trove in a new conversation and ask “What tools does Trove have?”

Claude

Add Trove as a custom connector

STEP 1

In Claude, open Customize or Settings, then select Connectors.

STEP 2

Use the add (+) menu, choose Add custom connector, name it Trove, and paste the endpoint above. Leave Advanced settings empty unless your organization provided separate OAuth credentials.

STEP 3

Click Add, sign in to Trove, approve access, then enable Trove in the connector picker for a new conversation.

Gemini CLI

Connect Trove from your terminal

STEP 1

Install and open Gemini CLI. This Direct connection is for the CLI, not the Gemini web app.

STEP 2

Run: gemini mcp add --transport http trove https://customer.usetrove.app/mcp

STEP 3

Complete authorization in your browser, then run /mcp in Gemini CLI to verify the connection. Gemini CLI displays text responses; actions that require a visual confirmation card must be completed in Trove or a client that supports the card.

Need help?

If your client cannot connect or authorization fails, contact the Trove team with the client name and a description of the error. Never include passwords or access tokens.
