Connect Claude to Your Bitso Account

🚧
Early access
The Bitso connector for Claude is in early access. To use it, contact Bitso Customer Support and ask to join. Features and screens may change before general availability.

The Bitso connector lets Claude read your Bitso account on your behalf: balances, transactions and open orders, plus market data for crypto and US stocks. You ask in plain language, for example "What's my Bitso balance?", and Claude fetches the answer from Bitso.

Access to your account is read-only. The connector cannot trade, place orders or move funds.

Soon: one click from the Claude directory

Bitso is coming to the Claude connector directory. Once it's listed, you'll find Bitso under Customize → Connectors → Discover in Claude, click Connect, log in to Bitso and allow access. No URL or client ID needed.

Until then, early access users add Bitso as a custom connector, as described below.

Before you start

A Bitso account that has early access to the connector.
A Claude account on any plan. The Free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans, an organization owner adds the connector.
Claude Desktop or claude.ai. The steps below use Claude Desktop; the same Customize → Connectors screens exist on claude.ai.

1. Add a custom connector

Open Customize → Connectors, click Add, then Add custom connector.

2. Enter a name and the server URL

Name: Bitso. It is only shown in your connectors list.
URL: https://mcp.bitso.com/mcp

Click Continue.

3. Set the OAuth client ID

This is the step most people miss. Claude pre-selects Register automatically, but Bitso does not support automatic client registration, so that option fails. Change it:

Sign-in: leave Sign in now selected.
OAuth client: select Use your own OAuth client.
Client ID: bitso-mcp-client
Client secret: leave it blank.

Save the connector.

4. Connect

Open the new connector and click Connect. Claude opens your browser.

5. Continue in the browser

The browser asks whether to finish connecting a connector. Click Continue connecting.

6. Log in to Bitso and allow access

Back in Claude, the connector shows as connected. Ask "What's my Bitso balance?" to check it works.

Good to know

Access to your account is read-only. Claude can see your data but cannot trade or move funds.
The only tool that sends something you wrote to Bitso is submit_feedback. Your feedback reaches the Bitso team together with your Bitso user ID.
The permissions on the consent screen grow as new tools ship. If a tool asks for a permission you haven't granted, disconnect the connector and connect again to approve it.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Connecting fails straight after you save the connector	The OAuth client is still on Register automatically	Edit the connector and set Use your own OAuth client with `bitso-mcp-client` (step 3)
"You started connecting to Bitso but didn't finish"	The browser step was closed before Allow	Click Connect again
