    How to connect

    How to connect Fractera to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://www.fractera.ai/api/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.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect Fractera to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://www.fractera.ai/api/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).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    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.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    register_and_deployRegister a new Fractera user and start the deployment of their server in one atomic call. Use this AFTER you have collected the user's email (entered twice for typo protection), server IP, and root password. Creates the User row (or reuses an existing one with the same email), creates a free Subscription, creates a ServerToken, wipes any previous installation on the target server, and launches bootstrap. The deploy is IP-first (phase-1): the server comes up on plain HTTP at http://<IP>:3002 in 8-14 minutes; it does NOT get a domain or HTTPS cert here (that is an optional later step inside the workspace). Returns session_id (for a single on-demand check_status read — do not poll) and server_token (so the user can recover via retry_deploy if anything breaks). Call this AT MOST ONCE per conversation.
    check_statusRead the current installation progress ONCE, on demand. Call this only when the user explicitly asks how the deploy is going (e.g. "what is the status", "did it finish") — never on a timer and never in a polling loop. The deploy takes 8-14 minutes and the authoritative status channels are the email pipeline + the dashboard; one read on request is enough. Returns the current step, the list of completed steps (~44 total in a full bootstrap), and whether installation is done or failed.
    get_subdomainReturn the final entry address of the server once installation is complete. In phase-1 (IP-first) this is a plain-HTTP Admin URL of the form http://<IP>:3002 — the server has NO domain and NO HTTPS cert yet (attaching a custom domain with HTTPS is an optional later step the user does inside Admin -> Personal Domain). Call this once after check_status reports status="done".
    retry_deployRetry a failed deployment using a server_token (from the failure email, the deploy-progress UI, or the dashboard). Wipes the previous broken install and runs a fresh deploy on the SAME server. Returns a new session_id — poll with check_status. Use this when the user reports a failed deploy or pastes a server_token.
    get_vps_recommendationReturn a single recommended VPS provider for users who do not yet have a server. Call this ONLY when the user explicitly says they have no server. The user buys the VPS at this provider and comes back with IP + password.
    get_project_infoProject reference / help desk about Fractera. Use this to answer ANY user question about what Fractera is, how it works, its architecture, components, modes, data ownership, pricing, use cases, partner program, etc. — especially while a deploy is running and the user wants to learn more. TOKEN-ECONOMY: call with NO arguments first to get the lightweight list of section ids+titles, then call again with a single `section` id to fetch just that section. NEVER try to fetch everything at once; pull only the section(s) relevant to the user question. Set `lang:"ru"` for Russian-speaking users.
