NetworkOS in Claude

The NetworkOS connector brings your relationship graph into Claude.ai. Once it's added, you can ask about anyone you know, search your contacts, log notes and tags, see introductions in flight, and draft and send warm introductions from your own Gmail — all without leaving the conversation. It's the same capabilities as the in-app assistant, available wherever you use Claude.

1. 1

   Open connector settings in Claude

   In Claude, open Customize → Connectors. (Claude recently moved Connectors under Customize; older versions list it under Settings. Custom connectors are available on Claude paid plans.)

2. 2

   Add a custom connector

   Choose "Add custom connector" and paste the NetworkOS server URL: https://beta.thenetworkos.com/api/mcp

3. 3

   Authorize with Google

   Claude opens the NetworkOS sign-in. Approve access with the same Google account you use for NetworkOS. You grant read and/or write scopes and can revoke them anytime.

4. 4

   Start asking

   Once connected, mention NetworkOS in any conversation — Claude calls the right tool and shows the result inline.

Each example below is a prompt you can paste into Claude once the connector is added. NetworkOS responds with an interactive card you can act on inline.

You ask

“Use NetworkOS to give me a snapshot of my network.”

NetworkOS responds

A network-insights card with the headline numbers — total contacts, companies, introductions in flight, and replies this week — so you can see the shape of your network at a glance.

Tools usedget_network_insights

The connector exposes read tools for finding and reviewing — searching contacts and companies, finding intro opportunities, network insights, listing notes, tags, introductions, and catch-ups — and write tools for acting: creating and updating contacts, adding notes and tags, drafting and sending introductions, starting and managing catch-up sequences, and recording outcomes. Read tools run on their own; anything that sends an email or changes your data is shown to you to confirm first.

Read tools: search_contacts, query_contacts, search_companies, list_companies, find_intro_opportunities, get_network_insights, get_contact_detail, list_contact_notes, list_tags, list_introductions, get_introduction, list_catch_ups, get_catch_up.

Write tools: create_contact, update_contact, archive_contact, add_contact_note, update_contact_note, delete_contact_note, create_tag, add_contact_tag, remove_contact_tag, create_introduction_draft, regenerate_introduction_drafts, send_introduction_email, mark_introduction_outcome, draft_catch_up, update_catch_up, regenerate_catch_up_drafts, dismiss_catch_up, cancel_catch_up, send_catch_up.

“MCP server requires authentication but no OAuth token is configured” (or “Unable to reach The Network OS”) — Claude.ai lost its OAuth token for the connector. This usually happens if the token expired and a silent refresh didn't succeed. Reconnect to fix it:

1. In Claude, open Customize → Connectors (older versions: Settings → Connectors).
2. Find NetworkOS in the list and click Disconnect.
3. Click Add custom connector and paste https://beta.thenetworkos.com/api/mcp again.
4. Authorize with the same Google account you use for NetworkOS.
5. Refresh the Claude chat tab; the next prompt should work.

If the same error keeps coming back within a session, email support@thenetworkos.com with the request_id shown in the error — we'll check the OAuth refresh path on our end.

The connector respects the same boundaries as the app: NetworkOS sends introductions from your own Gmail, and opens full message content only where a feature needs it, such as tracking replies to the intros it sent. See Privacy & your data for details, or disconnect anytime from Claude's connector settings.
