Add DeedRead to Claude or ChatGPT

DeedRead can run a pre-offer report from inside Claude or ChatGPT. You add it once as a connector, then ask for a report the way you would ask an assistant anything else.

You need a DeedRead account. Create one at deedread.ca/login if you do not have one yet.

The connector URL

Paste this URL when Claude or ChatGPT asks for the server address:

Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Cowork)

Custom connectors work on Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans. Free accounts can add one custom connector.

1. Open Customize, then Connectors.
2. Click +, then Add custom connector.
3. Name it DeedRead. For the remote MCP server URL, paste https://deedread.ca/api/mcp.
4. Leave authentication on OAuth unless you would rather paste an API key. Claude signs you in to DeedRead and asks you to approve access. If your Claude organization shows Request headers instead, you can add an Authorization header whose value is Bearer plus a space plus a key from deedread.ca/developer.
5. Click Add, then finish sign-in if Claude opens it.
6. In a chat, click the + button, open Connectors, and turn DeedRead on for that conversation.

On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom (choose Web if asked). Members then go to Customize → Connectors and click Connect.

ChatGPT

Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu) and Developer mode. ChatGPT connects with OAuth. It does not accept a pasted API key.

1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps (sometimes labelled Apps & Connectors) → Advanced settings, and turn Developer mode on. On a workspace plan, an admin may need to allow this first under workspace settings.
2. Go back to Apps and click Create.
3. Name it DeedRead. For the MCP server URL, paste https://deedread.ca/api/mcp.
4. Set authentication to OAuth, confirm you trust the connector, and click Create.
5. Sign in to DeedRead and approve access when ChatGPT opens the prompt.
6. In a new chat, turn the DeedRead connector on and ask for a report.

How sign-in works

ChatGPT always uses OAuth: you sign in to DeedRead and approve the connection. Claude can use that same OAuth flow, or an API key in a request header if your Claude organization offers Request headers. Create a key only when you need that header path, at deedread.ca/developer. You can revoke a key there at any time.

What happens next

Ask Claude or ChatGPT to run a DeedRead report on a listing. It starts the analysis (start_analysis), then collects a download link to the finished client-facing report (get_analysis). check_entitlement tells it whether a report credit remains. It can also find and read reports already in your Vault (search and fetch), so asking about a property you have already run costs nothing. A report takes a few minutes. Through an assistant, the assistant reads your documents first. On deedread.ca the files stay in your browser and only extracted text is sent.
