# Dalton MCP Server

Connect Dalton to your AI assistant. Once installed, you can ask Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI) to create experiments, list your pages, look up results, and more - all in plain language.

## What is the MCP Server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard that lets AI assistants talk to external tools. The Dalton MCP server gives your AI assistant a secure, read/write connection to your Dalton account.

**Examples of what you can ask:**

- *"List the pages I have set up in Dalton."*
- *"Create a new experiment on my pricing page that tests a more confident headline."*
- *"How is my homepage hero experiment performing?"*
- *"Update my brand voice in Dalton — we're shifting from playful to authoritative."*

You sign in once with your Dalton account, and the assistant only ever sees the data your account already has access to.

## Server Details

| | |
|---|---|
| **Server URL** | `https://mcp.getdalton.com/mcp` |
| **Transport** | HTTP |
| **Authentication** | Sign in with Dalton (OAuth) |

When you connect for the first time, a browser window will open and ask you to log in to Dalton and approve access. That's it — no API keys to copy or environment variables to set.


## Install on Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop is the easiest way to get started.

### 1. Open Settings

In Claude Desktop, go to **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**.

### 2. Add the Dalton Connector

Fill in the form:

- **Name**: `Dalton`
- **URL**: `https://mcp.getdalton.com/mcp`

Click **Add**.

### 3. Sign In

Claude will open a browser window asking you to sign in to Dalton and authorize the connection. Approve it.

### 4. Try It

Start a new chat and ask:

> *"Use Dalton to list my pages."*

Claude will request permission to call the Dalton tools the first time. Approve, and you're live.

::: tip Available on Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans
Custom connectors require a paid Claude plan.

## Install on Claude Code

Claude Code is Anthropic's CLI for developers. Adding Dalton takes one command.

### 1. Add the Server

In your terminal, run:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http dalton https://mcp.getdalton.com/mcp
```

### 2. Sign In

Start Claude Code (`claude`) and run:

```
/mcp
```

Select **dalton** from the list and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window will open for you to sign in to Dalton.

### 3. Try It

Back in your Claude Code session, ask:

> *"Use Dalton to show me how my checkout experiment is performing."*

That's it.

## What You Can Do

A non-exhaustive list of what the assistant can do on your behalf:

| Area | Examples |
|------|----------|
| **Pages** | List, search, add, remove, and inspect tracked pages |
| **Experiments** | Create experiments from scratch or by smart-copying an existing one; list, search, and inspect them |
| **Variants** | Add, edit, duplicate, remove, and AI-improve the variants inside an experiment |
| **Results** | Pull conversion rates, lift, and statistical significance for any experiment |
| **Brand** | View and update your brand voice, audience, and positioning |
| **Docs** | Search and read the Dalton product documentation |
| **Account** | See who you're logged in as and which customer accounts you have access to |

Ask the assistant *"What can you do with Dalton?"* to get a live, up-to-date list.

## Troubleshooting

**The assistant says it can't find Dalton tools.**
Make sure the connector is enabled in your client's settings, and that you completed the sign-in step. In Claude Code, run `/mcp` and confirm `dalton` shows as **connected**.

**Sign-in window didn't open.**
Some clients block popups. Check your browser, or look in the client's logs for the authorization URL and open it manually.
