How it works
Think of an MCP as a security badge you hand to Claude. Claude opens the rooms you authorized (calls, contacts, SMS, analytics) and stays out of the rest. You can revoke the badge any time from your Claude or Allo settings. The setup takes around 60 seconds. You paste the values below, then sign in to Allo.How to connect
1
Open Claude → Connectors
Go to claude.ai/customize/connectors, click +, and pick Add custom connector. You’re telling Claude you want to introduce it to a new tool.

2
Add Allo
In the modal, paste the two values below, then click Continue. Copy them as they are. You don’t need to understand what they mean.
- Name:
Allo - MCP server URL:
https://mcp.withallo.com/mcp
3
Add the Client ID
On the next screen, keep Sign in now under Authentication. Under OAuth client, Claude selects Use Claude’s published identity. Select Use your own OAuth client. Paste the Client ID below, and leave OAuth client secret (optional) empty.
Here is that older screen.
- Client ID:
b82803e6-31d4-47e0-9d7e-db9826ee451b

Claude’s layout varies by workspace. If the name, the URL, and Advanced settings are on one screen, paste the Client ID under Advanced settings.

4
Sign in and authorize
Click Add, then Connect. Sign in to Allo, review the permissions, and Authorize. Allo never sees your Claude password.

Why does Claude show a warning about an external connector?
This is a standard MCP guard rail that Claude shows for any third-party connector. It’s not specific to Allo. It’s safe to proceed and authorize Allo.
Using Claude Code instead?
Claude Code + API key
For Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any other MCP client. Cursor can use the Allo plugin, the other clients use an API key.
