Connect Matterfact to Claude

Add Matterfact to the Claude app, claude.ai, or Claude Code and search investor podcasts and pull transcripts, just by asking. A simple setup guide and FAQ.

TL;DR

  • Add Matterfact as a connector inside the Claude app, claude.ai, or Claude Code, then ask about investor podcasts right in your chat
  • Search a library of investor podcasts and pull full transcripts and key topics for any episode, just by asking
  • Sign in once with your existing Matterfact account. Nothing new to install, no new password

What you can do

Once Matterfact is connected, you can ask Claude to do your podcast research for you, in plain English:

  • Search an indexed library of investor podcasts and expert interviews.
  • Pull the full transcript or the key topics for any episode.
  • Get sourced answers without leaving the chat you are already in.

For example, you might ask: "Search Matterfact for recent podcast episodes about Nvidia and summarize the main debates," and Claude brings back the answer with the episodes it used.

What you'll need

  • A Matterfact account. You sign in with the same login you use at app.matterfact.com.
  • The Claude app (Mac or Windows), claude.ai in your browser, or Claude Code in your terminal.

Add the connector in the Claude app or claude.ai

This takes about a minute, and you only do it once.

  1. Open Claude (the desktop app, or claude.ai in your browser).
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  3. Click Add custom connector.
  4. Paste the link below into the address field and confirm.
label: Connector link
value: https://mcp.matterfact.com/mcp
  1. Click Connect, then sign in with your Matterfact account when Claude asks.

That's it. Matterfact now shows up in your connectors, and you can start asking about podcasts.

Add the connector in Claude Code

If you live in the terminal, Claude Code can reach the same podcast corpus. The setup is one command plus a sign-in, and because the server is hosted by us, there is nothing to install or run locally.

  1. In any terminal, register the connector once:
label: Terminal command
value: claude mcp add --scope user --transport http matterfact https://mcp.matterfact.com/mcp

The --scope user flag makes Matterfact available in every project on your machine, not just the folder you happen to be in. Leave it off if you only want it in the current project.

  1. Start a session by running claude, then type /mcp to open the connector panel.
  2. Select matterfact, choose Authenticate, and sign in with your Matterfact account when the browser opens.
  3. Back in the terminal, the status flips to Connected. You can confirm any time with /mcp inside a session, or claude mcp list outside one.

Now ask away, right in the middle of whatever you were doing: "Search Matterfact for recent podcast episodes on semiconductor capex and pull the transcript of the most contrarian one." Claude Code calls the connector and brings back sourced answers without you switching windows.

If you ever want to remove it, run claude mcp remove matterfact.

FAQ

Why am I asked to sign in? The connector links to your existing Matterfact account, so your podcasts stay tied to you. You sign in once; Claude remembers the connection, not your password.

I don't see podcast results. Your Matterfact account needs access to that product. Reach out and we will get you set up.

Is my data sent anywhere new? No. The connector reads the same Matterfact data you already use, and Claude only sees it on your behalf with your permissions.

Do I need Node or anything else installed for Claude Code? No. The Matterfact connector is a hosted server, so Claude Code just talks to it over the network. The one command above is the whole setup.
