    How to connect

    How to connect value-us to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://value.us/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.

    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 value-us to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://value.us/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.

    lookup_retailerLook up verified deals and store policies for a specific online retailer: signup/newsletter offer, free-shipping threshold, return window, price-match, gift cards, student/military discounts, current sale, and the value.us VUS score (our data-confidence rating). Input a store name or domain.
    find_dealsFind online retailers that currently have a specific kind of verified deal or policy, ranked. Use for questions like 'who has free shipping', 'which stores give a student discount', or 'what's on sale now'.
    check_retailer_trustGet value.us's proprietary VUS score (0-5) for a retailer and when its data was last verified. The VUS score measures how much current, verified data value.us holds on the store (a data-confidence signal) - it is NOT a verdict on whether the store is trustworthy or safe to buy from.
