TUTO : Comment utiliser les Connecteurs CLAUDE AI (Guide Complet MCP) — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00What is a connector? What is a
2. 0:02connector in Claude? A connector is
3. 0:05just a type of integration, as you can
4. 0:07see here. So, a connector is really a
5. 0:11type of integration between two
6. 0:13applications. In this example, it's
7. 0:18going to be an integration between
8. 0:20Claude and other applications. These
9. 0:24applications could be YouTube,
10. 0:26Instagram, Zoho, or whatever app you
11. 0:29want to connect. Okay? So, that is what
12. 0:32a connector is. However, the difference
13. 0:35between a connector and an integration
14. 0:36here is that you usually have to build
15. 0:38an integration yourself. Whereas,
16. 0:42inside Claude, connectors are options
17. 0:44that are already available. So, you
18. 0:48have plenty of options that are already
19. 0:51available that you can just select and
20. 0:53use directly while prompting inside the
21. 0:55Claude interface. So, if you click the
22. 1:02plus button here and click on connector
23. 1:04, you'll see that you likely already
24. 1:07have predefined connectors. Otherwise,
25. 1:10you click on manage connectors. Once
26. 1:13you click on manage connectors, you'll
27. 1:15be able to see all the connectors that
28. 1:17are currently there. So, as you can see
29. 1:20, there are quite a few connectors
30. 1:22available. There are specific
31. 1:24connectors for the web, and connectors
32. 1:26that are more for the application. For
33. 1:29your computer. So, for the desktop, if
34. 1:31you click the plus button here and
35. 1:34click on browse connectors, you'll see
36. 1:36all the connectors that are there, that
37. 1:38exist, and that are available for you
38. 1:41to use. An example of a connector you
39. 1:45can use is Zapier. So, if you have a
40. 1:48Zapier account and you create workflows
41. 1:51in Zapier, why continue to create
42. 1:53workflows in Zapier manually? You can
43. 1:57just connect Zapier to your AI client.
44. 2:01In this case, to your LLM, which is
45. 2:04Claude, and then chat directly with
46. 2:06Claude, and Claude will be able to do
47. 2:09what you ask it to do; so it's the same
48. 2:12thing we do today with Make. You
49. 2:15connect Make and you can chat directly
50. 2:19with the connector. You can chat
51. 2:23directly inside Claude and communicate
52. 2:25straight with the interface. So, as an
53. 2:32example, we can do a Zapier integration
54. 2:35to show you how it works. I can click
55. 2:38the plus button here for Zapier, and it
56. 2:40will take you to the Zapier MCP
57. 2:42interface, as you can see. It will
58. 2:46first ask you to log in to your Zapier
59. 2:48account. So, make sure you have a
60. 2:50Zapier account. So, I am going to log
61. 2:53in. There we go, we are connected to
62. 3:05ZPUR. It automatically shows you Zapier
63. 3:07MCP. So it can access your Zapier
64. 3:11account, it can access all the tools
65. 3:14you've enabled in Zapier, and it can
66. 3:17also actually execute tools you've
67. 3:20already connected inside apps. So we
68. 3:23are going to click on authorize and it
69. 3:27says the integration is a success. We
70. 3:32will be able to go back to our cloud.
71. 3:35Then we are going to see if Zap is
72. 3:38connected now. So if you don't see it
73. 3:42in the list, you just need to go back
74. 3:45into manage and press there. It still
75. 3:49says not connected. That can happen
76. 3:53sometimes. So sometimes you might need
77. 3:56to close your application and come back
78. 3:58for the connection to be established.
79. 4:01So we are going to try that. It’s
80. 4:05really very strange, we can’t seem to
81. 4:08connect it for some reason I don't
82. 4:11understand at all. So uh we are going
83. 4:19to connect to Zapier separately. It
84. 4:23might be because we have other Zapier
85. 4:25accounts connected. OK, so we have
86. 4:31Zapier right here. So Zapier says it's
87. 4:44a success. However, we are going to go
88. 4:56directly to the browser option. The
89. 5:00problem might be coming from there. So
90. 5:04let's go to the browser option and we
91. 5:06will see if we can connect via the
92. 5:08browser before trying again with the
93. 5:11desktop. Still not connected. So let's
94. 5:15try with the web version to see if
95. 5:18there might be a bug in the desktop
96. 5:21version. OK. So it really won't connect
97. 5:30. So it’s the same error, same error
98. 5:34we get at the environment level for the
99. 5:39web as well. So what we are going to do
100. 5:43in the meantime, we are going to prompt
101. 5:45like this to debug what is causing this
102. 5:48problem. OK, so it asks us to try going
103. 5:54to app settings and connecting the
104. 5:57account. We will see if it is
105. 5:59authorized. So we are going to go into
106. 6:03settings. We will see if we have
107. 6:10connected the account. We are going to
108. 6:14go to mcp.zapier.com. We are going to
109. 6:20see is it connected. So this is our MCP
110. 6:29. Well, we can do it manually in this
111. 6:35case to see if it works. So we can use
112. 6:39cloud. OK, there is already an MCP
113. 6:43connected here that we are already
114. 6:46using with Claude. We can add the tools
115. 6:52and then OK, so I see here. So we would
116. 6:57really need to approve it from here.
117. 7:00Usually, I thought the integration
118. 7:02would work directly if we did it from
119. 7:04the connector. But it seems not. It
120. 7:11seems not. or maybe it's just a bug at
121. 7:14the level. Maybe it's just a bug at the
122. 7:22cloud level. In the meantime, we can
123. 7:28then create a custom connector. To do
124. 7:34that, we'll just click here on manage
125. 7:36connectors. and then we'll go to
126. 7:46settings instead. Uh, we're supposed to
127. 7:52have developer here. Okay, so I see it
128. 7:56here. So there's another connect option
129. 7:59that is there. Let's try that directly
130. 8:02to see if it changes anything. Okay.
131. 8:09Still the same problem. Still the same
132. 8:13problem. Can see the error detail. It
133. 8:19doesn't work. We can delete go back to
134. 8:29connections, try again one more time.
135. 8:36Okay, so now it's asking for the server
136. 8:39URL this time. Okay, so that's what we
137. 8:42already copied from here. Okay, so we
138. 8:47come here, we go and put it in here,
139. 8:50and then we'll see if it works this
140. 8:53time. We're going to authorize. Yeah,
141. 9:01that seems to work. So that's how
142. 9:04sometimes when you try to do these
143. 9:06integrations, you'll have problems or
144. 9:08challenges like this. So I think the
145. 9:12solution we found directly is typed,
146. 9:14which is why I love doing these kinds
147. 9:17of videos because you can see in
148. 9:19real-time how things are actually done
149. 9:21when developing. It's not, uh, it's not
150. 9:25just how it works like that. Sometimes
151. 9:27you'll do it and it won't work. So the
152. 9:29fact of retrying, testing, prompting,
153. 9:32that really helps you debug. There you
154. 9:35go. So we just connected Zapier. Uh,
155. 9:39once we've connected Zapier, if we
156. 9:41click on this plus button here, we'll
157. 9:43be able to see now that we have Zapier
158. 9:46appearing there. So since we have
159. 9:48Zapier, now we can ask questions. We
160. 9:50can say, so I can ask it to do this
161. 9:53prompt. So I give Zapier, uh, the order
162. 9:56to create a Zap, or I give Cloud the
163. 10:00order to give a Zap, uh, to create a
164. 10:03Zap inside Zapier. And the task the Zap
165. 10:07will do is to take information from my
166. 10:10CRM and push it into a Google Sheet
167. 10:12document, quite simply. And since we
168. 10:17already have Zapier enabled, I don't
169. 10:20even need to mention, uh, Zapier,
170. 10:22because it will understand that I'm
171. 10:25referring to Zapier with the term Zap,
172. 10:28hopefully. We'll hope. So we're going
173. 10:31to launch and see what it does. See, so
174. 10:39it automatically called the Zapier tool
175. 10:41. If we didn't have to ask for it, then
176. 10:43it did it automatically. So before I
177. 10:47give you the steps, I need some
178. 10:49information. So it asks you which event
179. 10:52in Zoho CRM will trigger the Zap. So is
180. 10:55it a new contact? Is it a new lead
181. 10:58being created? We can just say when a
182. 11:01new lead is created. Do you want to do
183. 11:04what do you want to do in Google Sheets
184. 11:05? Do you want to create a new row or do
185. 11:07you want to update? Let's just say
186. 11:09create a new row. Does your sheet
187. 11:11already exist? I'll say no to create it
188. 11:14because I don't have it yet and we'll
189. 11:17see what it responds. So first, create
190. 11:20the Google Sheet. So it asks me to
191. 11:21create the Google Sheet first. Then go
192. 11:23to Zapier and it gives you instructions
193. 11:26on what to do. Do you want me to help
194. 11:29you configure Zapier directly? See,
195. 11:32since we connected the Zapier MCP, it
196. 11:35can take control directly. And use
197. 11:39Zapier. So we will accept, let's see
198. 11:41what it does. So you can see all the
199. 11:43steps it is taking. If you want to
200. 11:46manage your Zaps directly from Cloud,
201. 11:48configure your Zap connector here. This
202. 11:51will allow you to create and modify
203. 11:53Zaps without leaving the conversation.
204. 11:55Tell me if you get stuck on a step.
205. 11:57Well, the connector is already
206. 11:59connected normally. Uh, it could be
207. 12:02once again that you might encounter
208. 12:04this problem. What you will have to do
209. 12:07would be to close your Cloud once again
210. 12:12and just reopen it. But I'll just tell
211. 12:15it first that it's already connected.
212. 12:19We'll see what it answers. So I imagine
213. 12:26it will try again. So it says the
214. 12:32connector is there but has no action
215. 12:34configured, that's normal. Uh, here is
216. 12:38what to do. Go to the Zapier
217. 12:40configuration link and add the actions.
218. 12:43So that means we actually need to add
219. 12:48actions inside your MCP. In this, this
220. 12:52is how Zapier works because Zapier
221. 12:54connects to many other tools. You see?
222. 12:58So it connects to several other tools.
223. 13:00So to be able to use the MCP fully, you
224. 13:03need to add tools to that MCP you
225. 13:06created. So we can see it's already
226. 13:08there. And here I can come and add the
227. 13:11tools. So the tools are the
228. 13:13applications we have. So it could be
229. 13:15Zoho. So we were talking about Zoho CRM
230. 13:17. So I can come and select Zoho CRM.
231. 13:19And that also brings you, uh, I think,
232. 13:21to create the connection. So I can
233. 13:23search for lead, uh, or I can just
234. 13:26search for module. That means if we
235. 13:28want to create a new module. So I will
236. 13:30select that. I will click on connect
237. 13:32and it will ask me to sign in to my
238. 13:34Zoho account. I already have a
239. 13:35connected Zoho account, I'll just add
240. 13:37it. So if you aren't connected, it will
241. 13:39ask you to sign in to your Zoho account
242. 13:41. So there you go. So we've simply
243. 13:43added the Zoho tool. We can obviously
244. 13:47add all the actions we want, right.
245. 13:50Here, we just gave an example of adding
246. 13:53only one action, but I could have added
247. 13:56more actions than that and the system
248. 13:59will be able to—I can always click
249. 14:02add another tool then click on Zoho CRM
250. 14:05once again. You search for CRM again
251. 14:10and then we can always add other tools,
252. 14:12right, other other other tools, uh, so
253. 14:15that the system can use them. You can
254. 14:18see the one we had already added. We
255. 14:20can add five more. You can add as many
256. 14:22as you want. The goal is to provide a
257. 14:26complete API list to Cloud so it can
258. 14:28actually execute and build that
259. 14:31scenario for you inside your app
260. 14:33without you having to do it. So you
261. 14:37just need to do this setup. Now for
262. 14:39Google Sheets, we can do the same thing
263. 14:41. We can just come search here for
264. 14:43Google Sheets. If we have a Google
265. 14:45Sheet connected. Well, I will select
266. 14:47all the options. So create. We'll see
267. 14:51if we added a row. We'll just select
268. 14:57everything. Okay, we'll click connect.
269. 15:00And there, I already have my Google
270. 15:02Sheet account—reconnect my account.
271. 15:03We'll just reconnect quickly. There we
272. 15:14go. So that's connected. We'll add the
273. 15:1628 tools we just added. You can see, we
274. 15:20have 6 for Zoho CRM and we have 28 here
275. 15:23. So we're all set. And here, in the
276. 15:25history, you will see everything that
277. 15:27is happening. So the execution history,
278. 15:31what Cloud is doing inside your app.
279. 15:37That's done. So let's see if it will be
280. 15:42able to find the tools we added. Okay.
281. 15:56So you can see the API connector
282. 15:58doesn't allow creating Zaps directly
283. 15:59from the configuration. It is instead
284. 16:02used to execute existing Zap actions
285. 16:05like triggering a Zap manually. On the
286. 16:08bright side, the Zap you want is simple
287. 16:11to make. So creating this Zap requires
288. 16:14an action. You can start creating the
289. 16:17Zap, open Zapier and let me know if you
290. 16:19get stuck on a step, I'll guide you in
291. 16:21real time. OK, that's quite specific.
292. 16:25And that means Zapier isn't really able
293. 16:29through MCP; it's as if we weren't able
294. 16:34to dynamically create a Zap inside
295. 16:37Zapier. Which is really different from
296. 16:43Make, if for example you connect Make
297. 16:46through Make's MCP, Claude will be able
298. 16:49to do it in an automated way. So that's
299. 16:54interesting to see. So it says that you
300. 16:57can really trigger an action from
301. 16:59Claude but won't be able to use the
302. 17:02interface to create it, but I think
303. 17:04that's something that will come.
304. 17:08Anyways, I think you get the idea of
305. 17:10how a connector works, what a connector
306. 17:12is. How to add your connector, a custom
307. 17:16connector you have, how to add it
308. 17:18directly inside Claude and how to use
309. 17:21it, how to create all those connections
310. 17:23and also debug if you encounter a
311. 17:25problem. And so, how do you make money
312. 17:27with this? Because in the end, the goal
313. 17:31of learning all these connector and
314. 17:34integration concepts, I imagine, is so
315. 17:38that you can use it for something that
316. 17:41will bring you value, and maybe
317. 17:44monetize your knowledge. So, one way I
318. 17:49think you can monetize it is by
319. 17:51literally offering a service. You can
320. 17:55offer a Zap setup service for clients,
321. 17:59whether it's on Fiverr or freelance
322. 18:03sites. People who are interested but
323. 18:06don't have the time to create these
324. 18:09Zaps can contact you, and all you'll
325. 18:11have to do is use Claude to help you
326. 18:13create these Zaps quite automatically.
327. 18:17Monetize it, because I think in the
328. 18:19coming weeks and months, the Zapier MCP
329. 18:22will probably be much more advanced.
330. 18:24And this isn't just for Zapier, it's
331. 18:26really for all the types of connectors
332. 18:28you have here. It literally opens up
333. 18:30huge fields of possibilities for you.
334. 18:33So imagine, for example, that before
335. 18:36you had to go into Zoho CRM and
336. 18:39manually add a field to customize Zoho
337. 18:42CRM. Today, you can use the MCP. For
338. 18:45those who are interested, I would be
339. 18:48happy to create a video about how you
340. 18:50can connect Zoho's MCP, for those who
341. 18:53use Zoho, and how to connect it to your
342. 18:56cloud to communicate with it and even
343. 18:58perform implementations directly inside
344. 19:01Zoho. So that's it. I hope this video
345. 19:05was very useful, and if you liked it,
346. 19:08don't hesitate to like, comment, and
347. 19:12also subscribe. Thank you. See you next
348. 19:15time.
