Claude integration

Connecting Claude for intelligent workflow automation

Your Claude Pro or Team subscription brings advanced reasoning and analytical capabilities directly into Tallyfy workflows. Through Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and OAuth2, Claude reads your task context, applies sophisticated analysis, and completes complex work that requires nuanced understanding - using the Claude subscription you already have.

How Claude integration works

Claude integration leverages Anthropic’s MCP (Model Context Protocol) framework for secure, intelligent connections:

MCP server setup: Tallyfy hosts MCP servers that Claude can connect to
OAuth2 authentication: Secure authorization links your Claude account
Context window optimization: Smart chunking sends relevant task data
Advanced reasoning: Claude processes with its full analytical capabilities
Structured responses: Results flow back in formats Tallyfy understands

Claude excels at tasks requiring deep analysis, careful reasoning, and nuanced judgment - perfect for complex workflow decisions.

Authentication architecture

Claude uses enterprise-grade OAuth2 with MCP extensions:

Authorization endpoint: https://go.tallyfy.com/mcp/oauth/authorize Token endpoint: https://go.tallyfy.com/mcp/oauth/token MCP server: https://go.tallyfy.com/mcp/server Required scopes: mcp:tasks, mcp:processes, mcp:files

The MCP protocol adds:

Tool discovery for available Tallyfy actions
Schema validation for data integrity
Secure sandboxing of operations
Audit trails for every interaction

Task automation with Claude’s strengths

Complex document analysis

Claude excels at understanding lengthy, complex documents:

Legal contract review with clause-by-clause analysis
Technical documentation review for accuracy and completeness
Research synthesis from multiple sources
Compliance audit against detailed requirements

Multi-step reasoning

Claude handles tasks requiring careful thought:

Task: Evaluate Project Proposal
Claude instruction: "Review the attached proposal against our evaluation
criteria. Score each section (feasibility, budget, timeline, risk).
Identify any gaps or concerns. Provide a detailed recommendation with
specific conditions for approval."

Writing and documentation

Claude generates high-quality written content:

Task: Create Process Documentation
Claude instruction: "Based on the process steps completed so far, write
detailed documentation including: purpose, prerequisites, step-by-step
steps, common issues, and best practices. Format in our standard
template structure."

Data analysis with context

Claude understands nuanced data patterns:

Task: Analyze Customer Feedback
Claude instruction: "Review all feedback from this quarter. Identify
recurring themes, sentiment patterns, and emerging issues. Correlate
with product changes. Generate actionable insights for each department."

Real-world automation examples

RFP response generation

Workflow: RFP Response Process
Claude's role: Reads RFP requirements, matches against your capabilities
database, generates tailored responses for each section, flags areas
needing human input, maintains consistent tone and messaging.

Employee performance reviews

Workflow: Quarterly Review Process
Claude's role: Synthesizes feedback from multiple sources, identifies
patterns and growth areas, drafts balanced review narrative, suggests
specific development goals, ensures consistency across reviews.

Incident analysis and reporting

Workflow: Incident Management
Claude's role: Analyzes incident details, determines root cause,
assesses impact and severity, generates detailed report with timeline,
recommends preventive measures.

Claude-specific instruction patterns

Leverage Claude’s analytical depth

Good: "Analyze the proposal considering technical feasibility, financial
viability, strategic alignment, and risk factors. Provide weighted scoring
for each dimension with detailed justification."

Bad: "Review the proposal and approve or reject."

Use Claude’s context window effectively

Good: "Using all previous task responses in this process, identify
patterns and generate a complete summary highlighting key decisions
and their rationales."

Bad: "Summarize this process."

Enable structured reasoning

Good: "First, identify all stakeholders affected. Second, analyze impact
on each group. Third, recommend mitigation strategies. Finally, provide
an implementation timeline."

Bad: "Figure out who this affects and what to do."

MCP server capabilities

The Tallyfy MCP server exposes these tools to Claude:

Task operations

get_task: Retrieve full task context
complete_task: Mark task complete with data
add_comment: Add analytical comments
update_fields: Fill form fields with generated content

Process operations

get_process_history: Access complete process context
trigger_automation: Initiate conditional branches
create_subtask: Generate follow-up tasks

File operations

read_attachment: Extract and analyze file contents
generate_document: Create formatted documents
update_template: Suggest process improvements

Advanced Claude features

Constitutional AI alignment Claude follows ethical guidelines automatically:

Refuses inappropriate requests
Maintains data privacy
Provides balanced analysis
Explains reasoning transparently

Long context handling Claude handles up to 200K tokens (1M in beta for Sonnet 4.5):

Entire process histories
Multiple document attachments
Full analysis across steps
Pattern recognition over time

Multilingual capabilities Claude processes multiple languages:

Automatic language detection
Translation with context preservation
Cultural nuance awareness
Localized content generation

Performance optimization

Context management strategies:

Send only relevant historical data
Summarize previous steps when possible
Use references instead of full documents
Implement progressive disclosure

Token optimization:

Efficient: "Analyze Section 3.2 of the contract for liability terms"
Wasteful: "Read the entire contract and find liability information"

Response formatting:

Structured: "Return as JSON: {approved: boolean, reason: string, conditions: array}"
Unstructured: "Tell me your thoughts on this"

Security and compliance

Claude integration maintains enterprise security:

No training on your data: Anthropic doesn’t train on API inputs
Data isolation: Each organization’s data remains separate
Audit logging: Complete interaction history
GDPR compliant: Data deletion on request
SOC 2 Type II: Anthropic maintains compliance

Troubleshooting

“Claude times out on complex tasks”

Break into smaller subtasks
Reduce context window size
Implement checkpoints for long analyses

“Responses lack specific details”

Provide more context in instructions
Include examples of desired output
Reference specific data fields

“MCP connection fails”

Verify OAuth tokens are current
Check MCP server endpoint availability
Review permission scopes

Implementation best practices

Start with high-value tasks: Focus on complex decisions requiring analysis
Provide clear context: Claude performs best with complete information
Use structured formats: Define expected output schemas
Implement review steps: Add human checkpoints for critical decisions
Monitor and iterate: Review Claude’s outputs to refine instructions

Cost considerations

Using your Claude subscription efficiently:

Claude Pro: $20/month for individual use
Claude Team: $25/user/month with higher limits
No additional Tallyfy charges for BYO AI
API calls count toward your Anthropic quotas

Available Claude models

Tallyfy works with all current Claude models through your subscription:

Claude Opus 4.5: Anthropic’s flagship model with the strongest reasoning, coding, and agentic capabilities. Ideal for complex multi-step analysis and long-horizon tasks.
