MCP: Tips & Tricks 

Want your schedule, tasks, and ticket requests waiting for you every morning instead of hunting for them? This guide walks through connecting the Artist Growth MCP and setting up a recurring "daily digest" so it lands in your chat on its own — no prompting required.

Pick one platform below — Claude or ChatGPT — and follow that section start to finish. Each takes about 10 minutes.

Once the MCP is on for your org, everyone connects individually and signs in as themselves — you'll only ever see what your AG role already permits.

Claude

1. Connect the AG connector

1. Go to Settings > Connectors.
2. Click + Add > Browse connectors.
3. Search for Artist Growth, select it, and click Connect.
4. Sign in through the OAuth prompt using your normal AG login.
5. In a new chat, click the + in the chat box, select Add connectors, and make sure Artist Growth is toggled on.
6. Test it: ask "What's on my calendar this week?" — if you get real AG data back, you're connected.

2. Write your digest prompt

Copy and customize:

Give me my daily Artist Growth digest:

1. Today's schedule — any events, call times, or show-day logistics for my artists
2. My open tasks — anything due today or overdue, sorted by priority
3. Pending ticket requests — anything waiting on my approval

Keep it short and scannable. If there's nothing in a section, just say "nothing today" instead of skipping it silently.

Run it manually a few times in a normal chat first. Check the output against what you actually see in AG — not just that it returns something, but that it's accurate — and tighten the wording before you schedule it.

3. Schedule it

Claude's scheduled tasks live in Cowork and run automatically on their own cadence, even when your computer's asleep or Desktop is closed.

1. Open Cowork and click Scheduled in the left sidebar.
2. Click New task, then Set up manually.
3. Fill in:
   • Task name: e.g. "AG Daily Digest"
   • Prompt: paste your digest prompt from Step 2
   • Frequency: Daily, pick your time (early morning works well)
   • Approval mode / model: defaults are fine to start
4. Click Save. It'll appear under Scheduled tasks — pause, edit, or run it on demand anytime.

ChatGPT

1. Connect the AG connector

1. Go to Settings > Apps & Connectors.
2. Search for Artist Growth, select it, and click Connect.
3. Sign in with your AG login when prompted.
4. In a new chat, make sure the Artist Growth connector is enabled for that conversation.
5. Test it: ask "What's on my calendar this week?" — if you get real AG data back, you're connected.

2. Write your digest prompt

Same prompt as above — copy it from the Claude section.

3. Schedule it

1. Go to Scheduled in the sidebar, or just type in a chat: "Create a scheduled task that runs every weekday at 8am and gives me my AG daily digest." ChatGPT will confirm the cadence and time before saving.
2. Make sure the Artist Growth connector is enabled for that specific scheduled task — enabling it once in a regular chat doesn't carry over automatically.
3. Save. You'll get a notification (push and/or email, depending on your settings under Settings > Notifications > Tasks: Scheduled) each time it runs.

Tuning It After the First Few Runs

Treat the first 2–3 runs as a draft:

• Too much noise? Add "skip anything more than 3 days out" or narrow it to one artist/roster.
• Missing something? Be specific — "include ticket requests I haven't responded to in 48 hours" beats a vague ask.
• Wrong time zone? Both platforms let you specify one in the prompt or schedule settings if your account default is off.
