AI Assistant Integration (MCP)

Connect Alium to Claude or ChatGPT and ask questions about your buyer transcripts in plain English — no need to open the Alium app or know which filters to use.

Once connected, you can ask things like:

  • "What are the biggest pain points buyers mention when evaluating Salesforce?"
  • "Summarize what CTOs at mid-market companies say about their data stack"
  • "Find transcripts where buyers are evaluating tools in the security space"

Your AI assistant will search your Alium transcripts and pull back relevant answers directly in the chat.

tip

The Alium MCP is read-only — it can only search and retrieve transcripts, never modify anything.

Getting access​

MCP access is available on the Enterprise plan. To enable it for your account, contact help@alium.io.

There are two ways to connect, depending on who's using it:

  • Personal AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT) — sign in with your Alium account through the OAuth flow below.
  • Programmatic or agent clients — authenticate with an agent seat API key, sent as a Bearer token: Authorization: Bearer alm_…. This is the path for your own agents and scripted MCP clients, and it keeps working as team members come and go.

Claude​

Works with all Claude plans (Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise).

  1. In Claude.ai, open Settings and go to Connectors.
  2. Click Add custom connector.
  3. Enter https://app.alium.io/mcp as the connector URL.
  4. Sign in with your Alium account when prompted.

That's it. Alium will now show up as a connector you can enable in any conversation.

ChatGPT​

Available in beta on Business and Enterprise plans. Setup is done by a workspace admin — once published, everyone in the workspace can use Alium without any extra configuration.

Step 1 — Enable Developer mode​

Developer mode is only needed to add and publish the app. Your team won't need it to use Alium day-to-day.

On Business plans: Go to Workspace Settings → Permissions & Roles → Connected Data and enable Developer mode / Create custom MCP connectors.

On Enterprise plans: Go to Settings → Apps → Advanced Settings and toggle on Developer mode.

Step 2 — Add Alium​

  1. Go to Workspace Settings → Apps and click Create.
  2. Enter https://app.alium.io/mcp as the server URL.
  3. Sign in with your Alium account when prompted.
  4. Click Create.

Alium will appear under Drafts in your app settings.

Step 3 — Publish to your workspace​

  1. Go to Workspace Settings → Apps → Drafts.
  2. Click Publish next to Alium.

Once published, Alium appears in every team member's Apps settings — no Developer mode required. They can select it from the + menu in any chat and start asking questions about your transcripts.
