Claude and MCP
PhiWebs runs an MCP server, so an AI assistant such as Claude can work with your workspace. This connection manages the workspace around your apps. It does not build, change or publish apps. For that, use the studio.
What the assistant can do
| Area | What it can do | Permission it asks for |
|---|---|---|
| Workspace | List your workspaces, show AI usage and credits, list the blocks and capabilities your installed packs provide | world:read |
| Members | Invite, change the role of, and remove workspace members | world:manage |
| AI settings | Read and change the workspace’s AI settings | settings:write |
| Marketplace | Browse listings and reviews, install, upgrade and uninstall packs | marketplace:read, marketplace:install |
| Your own packs | Register as a publisher, upload and publish a pack, send a listing for review | marketplace:publish |
| Connections | Add, test, change and remove connections to outside services | connections:read, connections:write |
The assistant sees only the tools that the permissions you approved allow.
Connect
Add PhiWebs to your MCP client as a remote server with this address:
https://api.phiwebs.com/mcpThe first time it connects, the client sends you to PhiWebs to sign in. You then see a consent screen that lists the permissions it asks for. Approve the ones you want.
- Claude Desktop, claude.ai and Cowork: add it under Settings → Connectors.
- Claude Code: add it as an HTTP MCP server, then sign in from
/mcp.
Things to know
- One workspace per connection. A connection acts in the workspace that was active when you approved it. To work in another workspace, switch to it in your account, then connect again.
- A missing permission shows as an error that names the permission. To fix it, connect again and approve that permission.
- Secrets stay write-only. A connection secret you give the assistant goes into PhiWebs, and no tool ever reads it back.
- Deleting is permanent. Removing a member, uninstalling a pack or deleting a connection cannot be undone.
- Your own packs are reviewed. A pack you submit to the marketplace is listed after review.
Disconnect
Your account’s API access page lists the apps connected to your account. Disconnecting one revokes its access at once. It has to sign in again next time.
Limits
Calls from the assistant count against the PhiWebs account API’s request limits. See Limits.
