What is this?
Filament can connect directly to AI tools you already use — like Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, and Cursor. Once connected, you can ask questions about your data right from those tools, without needing to open Filament.
This works through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI assistants access external data.
What can it do?
- See all your connected data sources and tables
- Answer questions about your data using SQL behind the scenes
- Understand how your apps store data (e.g. how Stripe organizes subscriptions)
The AI handles the conversation — Filament provides the data.
How to connect
Pick your AI tool below and follow the steps. When you first connect, you’ll be asked to log in and choose which organization’s data to share.
Claude Desktop
-
Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings > Connectors.
-
Click Add custom connector.
-
Paste the Filament server URL:
https://mcp.filamentanalytics.com/mcp -
Click Save. You’ll be prompted to log in to Filament and approve access.
Requires a Claude Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan.
ChatGPT
-
Open ChatGPT and go to Settings > Apps.
-
Click Create and enter the Filament server URL:
https://mcp.filamentanalytics.com/mcp -
Save and connect. ChatGPT will ask you to log in to Filament and approve access.
Requires a ChatGPT Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Edu plan.
Cursor
Add to your Cursor MCP config file at ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"filament": {
"url": "https://mcp.filamentanalytics.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Cursor will detect the change and prompt you to log in to Filament when you first use it.
Claude Code
Run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http filament https://mcp.filamentanalytics.com/mcp
Claude Code will prompt you to log in to Filament on first use.
Other AI tools
Any AI tool that supports MCP can connect to Filament. Point it at:
https://mcp.filamentanalytics.com/mcp
Your AI tool will handle the login automatically — no extra configuration needed.
Security
When you connect an AI tool, you log in and approve access — just like connecting any other app. A few things to know:
- Your login expires after 24 hours and renews automatically
- AI tools get read-only access — they can query your data but can’t change anything
- If you belong to multiple organizations, you choose which one to connect
