Connecting Claude to the vFairs MCP Server

This guide explains how organization admins can generate a vFairs access token and connect it to Claude as a custom connector, so Claude can answer questions about registered attendees, sessions, booths, and reporting. Before you start: you will need an organization admin login to https://app.vfairs.com/backend/ and a Claude account with permission to add connectors.

Part 1: Generate an Access Token in vFairs

Step 1: Log in to your organization account

Sign in at https://app.vfairs.com/backend/ with your organization credentials, as you normally would to manage events.

Step 2: Navigate to the Access Tokens screen

Once logged in, go directly to https://app.vfairs.com/backend/v2/organization/access-tokens,  paste the URL in the same browser tab.

Step 3: Click "Generate Access Token"

On the Access Tokens screen, click the Generate Access Token button in the top-right corner. A drawer opens on the right.

Step 4: Name it, set a region and expiry, and choose scopes

In the drawer, give the token a memorable name (for example, "MCP for Claude"), select a region, and set an expiry date. Under Scopes, check the permissions you want Claude to have access to, then click Generate Token.

Step 5: Copy your API key and API secret

A confirmation panel shows your new API key and API secret. Copy both now, for security, the secret is shown only once and cannot be retrieved again later.

Keep it safe: Treat the API key and secret like a password. Store them in a password manager rather than a chat message or shared document, and revoke the token from this screen if it is ever exposed.


Part 2: Add vFairs as a Custom Connector in Claude

Step 6: Open Connectors in Claude’s settings

Click the + icon by the message box, or open Settings → Customize → Connectors from Claude’s sidebar.

Step 8: Fill in the connector details

A form asks for a name, the remote MCP server URL, and OAuth credentials. Enter the following:

Name: vfairs-users

Remote MCP server URL: https://agent.vfairs.com/mcp

OAuth Client ID: <API key from Step 5>

OAuth Client Secret: <API secret from Step 5>

Step 9: Click "Add" to finish connecting

Claude verifies the credentials and connects to the vFairs MCP server. Once it shows as Connected, the integration is live and ready to use.

Tip: If the connection fails, double-check that the URL was pasted with no trailing spaces, and that the API key/secret were copied in full, a truncated secret is the most common cause.


Part 3: Put It to Work

With vFairs connected, mention it in any Claude conversation and ask about your organization’s live event data, no dashboard hopping required.

Examples:

"How many attendees registered for Global Business Expo 2026 this week?"

"List all draft events and their scheduled start dates."

"Build me a dashboard comparing session attendance across our last three events."

"Schedule a weekly registration report to email our team every Monday."

Managing access later: Return to the Access Tokens screen in vFairs any time to revoke or rotate this token, and to Settings → Connectors in Claude to disconnect vFairs.
