    How to connect

    How to connect Charter Captain to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://api.chartercaptain.com/mcp/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://api.chartercaptain.com/mcp/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).

    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    pingHealth check
    search_captainsSearch bookable charter captains, optionally filtered by harbor, with sorting and pagination. Returns a paginated list with starting price and rating.
    search_boatsSearch listed boats, optionally filtered by harbor, type, minimum capacity, and max hourly price, with sorting and pagination.
    get_captainGet a captain's full profile by tenant slug, enriched with a rating summary and the most recent reviews.
    get_boatGet a boat's full profile by id, enriched with a rating summary and the most recent reviews.
    list_harborsList active harbors, each with a count of active captains and listed boats operating there.
    check_availabilityCheck a captain's or boat's availability. Provide exactly one of captainSlug or boatId. Omit date to get available dates for the next 90 days; provide both date (YYYY-MM-DD) and durationHours to get bookable time slots for that date. Each slot lists its offeredDurations, and every entry carries the durationId to pass to get_quote, create_booking, or create_boat_rental (null means that length is offered but not bookable through the API).
    get_quoteGet a non-binding price quote (in cents) for a charter or rental. Provide exactly one of captainSlug or boatId, plus durationId and partySize. Pass `date` (YYYY-MM-DD) whenever you know it: the rate then comes from the operator's rate card for that day — weekday vs weekend vs holiday, including any per-date price the operator set — so the quote matches what checkout charges. Without a date, pass pricingTierId instead; the quote then reflects that tier and may differ from checkout for the actual day. Optionally pass a partnerCode to preview a discount. Returns currency, totalCents, depositCents, balanceCents, pricingModel, and (when a code is given) a discountPreview.
    create_bookingBook a charter with a captain and get a Stripe Checkout link for the charterer to complete payment. Optionally attach a partner/affiliate code to credit a referrer.
    create_boat_rentalBook a bareboat boat rental and get a Stripe Checkout link for the charterer to complete payment. Requires captainChoiceRightAcknowledged: true (the charterer affirms their right to choose their own captain). Optionally attach a partner/affiliate code.
