Ask Claude about your shop

Connect your WagTab shop to Claude once, then ask in plain words: who’s coming tomorrow, who’s overdue, what you took in. No reports to dig through.

Updated October 26, 2026

The short answer

Copy your shop’s address from Settings → Security & data → Connect Claude, add it in Claude as a custom connector, then sign in to WagTab and tap Allow. Only the owner or a manager can connect.

Connect in three steps

1. Copy the address

It’s your shop’s web address with /mcp on the end. For a shop at yourshop.wagtab.com, that’s https://yourshop.wagtab.com/mcp. In WagTab, open Settings → Security & data → Connect Claude and tap Copy.

2. Open Claude

Tap + Add, then Add custom connector. Name it WagTab, paste the address, and tap Add. The Open Claude button in WagTab goes straight to Claude’s connector page.

3. Sign in to WagTab and tap Allow

Claude opens your shop’s sign-in. The owner and managers can connect. Back in WagTab, step 3 turns green by itself.

Works with any Claude plan; the Free plan allows one custom connector. On Team or Enterprise, your Claude admin adds it first. To use it in a chat, tap the + button in Claude’s message box, then Connectors, and turn it on.

Questions to try

  • “What does tomorrow look like?”
  • “Who hasn’t been in for 8 weeks?”
  • “How much did we take in last week, and in tips?”
  • “Any booking requests waiting?”
  • “Write a text telling Bella’s owner she’s ready for pickup”
  • “Raise the large-dog bath to $65”

In WagTab, the same questions sit under Connect Claude once you’re connected. Tap one to copy it.

What Claude can and can’t do

  • Changes always ask first. Before Claude books, moves or cancels a visit, or changes a price or your hours, it shows you the change and waits for your yes.
  • Payments, refunds, deletes and passwords never go through Claude. It can’t take a payment, refund, delete a client or a visit, or see team logins and billing.
  • Client phone numbers and emails stay hidden unless the owner turns them on in Connect Claude. Names, dogs and visits are shown.
  • Owners and managers only. Claude works as the person who connected it and can do only what they can.
  • Disconnect any time. Connect Claude lists every connection, who made it and when it was last used, with a Disconnect button.

Every change made through Claude is in the security log as yours, “via Claude”, and can be undone from there.

If the address shows a page instead

Opening the address in a browser shows a short page with these same steps. That’s expected: the address is for Claude, not for a browser tab. Paste it into Claude instead.

Claude questions

Does connecting Claude cost extra?

Not from WagTab: it’s part of the $40 a month. You need your own Claude account, and any plan works.

Can my groomers connect it?

No. Only the owner and managers can connect, because Claude can see the whole calendar and the sales.

Can Claude text my clients?

No. It writes the text for you, and you send it from your own phone.

Something isn’t working. Who do I ask?

Email hello@wagtab.com and say which step you’re on. We answer within one business day.
