Connect qurarte to Claude or ChatGPT.

Ask Claude or ChatGPT to find works in your collection, read their records, write a description, or add a photo of the back of a painting, right from the chat. You decide what it may do and for how long, and you can turn it off any time.

Before you start

You need to be an owner or admin of the qurarte workspace.
You need a Claude or ChatGPT account that can add connectors. On company accounts, your administrator may need to allow it.
The qurarte link to use is https://app.qurarte.com/mcp (also in qurarte under Settings › Assistants, with a Copy button).

Claude

In Claude, open Customize › Connectors.
Choose Add connector › Add custom connector, name it qurarte, paste the link and press Add.
Press Connect. qurarte opens: sign in if asked, review what Claude is asking for, and press Allow Claude.
In a chat, turn on qurarte (press Use when Claude asks, or pick it from the + menu) and ask away.

ChatGPT

In ChatGPT, open Plugins and choose Add › Create custom MCP server.
Name it qurarte, paste the link, tick I understand and choose Create as a plugin.
Press Continue. qurarte opens: sign in if asked, review, and press Allow ChatGPT.
Start a chat with the qurarte plugin selected and ask away. To add a photo, attach it to your message.

What you'll see before you allow

qurarte shows exactly who is asking (with the verified address, claude.ai or chatgpt.com), which workspace, and what the assistant will be able to do:

Read your workspace: artworks with their full records, artists, viewing rooms, exhibitions, consignments, locations and schedule. Always included.
Read contacts: your contacts' details and the works they're linked to. You can turn this off.
Read finances: prices, costs, valuations, sales, invoices and expenses. You can turn this off.
Edit your workspace: add and change artworks, locations, viewing rooms, exhibitions, consignments, artists, contacts and reminders. You can turn this off.
Edit finances: record sales, invoices, payments, expenses and valuations, and change prices. Needs "Read finances". You can turn this off.
Edit descriptions: change a work's description, and nothing else.
Add photos: add images to a work. A photo becomes the cover only if the work has none.

You choose 1 day or 7 days. The assistant can't delete anything, every change it makes is checked against the latest version of the record and shows in your activity log, and it never sees a viewing room's share link.

qurarte is end-to-end encrypted. To answer the assistant, qurarte's connector service decrypts the workspace you connect, and anything the assistant reads (such as records, photos and, if you allow them, contacts and finances) is sent to Anthropic or OpenAI and handled under their terms. Every member of the workspace sees that assistant access is on. More in the privacy policy.

Things to try

"Find the Malevich works in my collection."
"Open Black Square and tell me what its record says."
"Draft a two-sentence description for it and save it."
"Add this photo as the verso" (attach it in ChatGPT; in Claude, an upload box appears in the chat).

Turning it off

In qurarte, open Settings › Assistants and press Revoke. Access ends at once. Connections also end on their own when their 1 or 7 days are up. You can remove the connector in Claude or ChatGPT too, but revoking in qurarte is what cuts off access.

If something doesn't work

Claude says to turn the connector on: in a new chat, press Use.
The upload box doesn't open: ask for "a one-time upload link instead". It opens a qurarte page that works on any phone, valid for 10 minutes.
"Only an owner or admin can connect an assistant": ask your workspace owner, or have them connect it.
