How do I connect Saména to Claude?

What do I need first?

A Saména account opened by your company, and a Claude account. The connector is for companies that use Saména: without a Saména account it has nothing to show.

How do I add it on a personal Claude account?

In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and click "Add custom connector". On the free plan, Claude accepts only one custom connector.

Name it Samena, without an accent, paste the address https://samena.eu/mcp, leave the advanced settings empty and click "Add".

On a personal account, conversations may be used to train Anthropic's models. In Settings, then Privacy, turn this option off before Saména's answers go into your conversations.

And on Claude Team or Enterprise?

Only an owner of the Claude account can add the connector, once for the whole organization: Organization settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, name Samena, address https://samena.eu/mcp.

Then each member turns the connector on for themselves.

How do I sign in?

Click "Connect", then "Allow". A Saména page opens and asks for your consent: sign in with your Saména account. Claude then gets the rights of that account, no more and no less.

What can I ask Claude then?

Ask the way you would ask a colleague who knows the company archives. Claude picks the right Saména tool and cites the projects it read.

• "Which projects have we done for this client since 2022?"
• "Who here has already worked on an energy audit?"
• "Find last year's proposal on data governance."
• "Prepare a references sheet for this tender, following our procedure."

What does the connector do, tool by tool?

Every tool is read-only: the connector writes nothing, in Saména or anywhere else.

• Projects: the exact list of projects that match a client, a sector, a period or a person, with the total.
• Search in project sheets: a word or phrase in the text of every project sheet.
• Read project sheets: the full content of one or more sheets (context, approach, results, deliverables, team).
• People: who worked on a topic, a sector or a client, and their role on each project.
• Documents: company documents, with their folder and a link to the original, without copying their content.
• Skills: the work procedures written by the company (tender response, references sheet…).
• Templates: the structure of a company template (report, proposal). Word files are filled in the Saména application.

What does Claude see of my data?

Only the results of the questions asked, with the rights of the signed-in account: a colleague's private project sheet stays invisible. At Saména, your company's data is encrypted with a key of its own.
