You can connect an outside AI assistant, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, or Cursor, to your organization's knowledge in Simply Asking. Once connected, the assistant can ask questions of your knowledge on your behalf and get back the same grounded answers you would get in the app. Answers come only from your own documents, records, and confirmed business facts. They are never filled in from the assistant's general knowledge.
Connecting takes a minute. You add Simply Asking as a custom connector, sign in with your normal Simply Asking account, and approve the access request.
Add the connector
In your assistant's settings, add a custom connector and paste the Simply Asking server address: https://simplyasking.io/mcp. If your assistant already lists Simply Asking as a connector, you can pick it there instead.
Sign in
A Simply Asking sign-in page opens. Continue with Google, or use email instead, with the same account you use in the app. Your access is tied to your own account, so the assistant inherits your permissions.
New to Simply Asking? Create your account on the same page. You'll be asked whether you have a US billing address or a US-issued card, then choose how you'll use it. Pick "Just me" to start a 7-day free trial (a card is required), and you'll come straight back to finish connecting.
Approve access
Check the account, workspace, and requested access on the consent screen. Use another account if needed, then choose Allow connection to continue or Cancel to decline. Not ready yet? Choose Not now and your assistant closes the request. Connecting currently requires an account with one active workspace. Answers and supporting source content are shared with the assistant.
