# Use the Scope Mesh demo in Claude or ChatGPT

> Connect the Scope Mesh demo to Claude, ChatGPT, or Claude Code, then let your assistant join the trip as a fifth traveler.

You can connect the Scope Mesh demo to the assistant you already use. Your assistant can then run the demo trip, show you the questions the mesh would ask you, and join the trip for you as a fifth traveler. It answers only with yes or no and your first choice, so you can see how the plan changes.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The connector runs the same simulation as the website. It needs no sign-in, it keeps nothing between messages, and it books nothing. It also lists tools for real meshes between people. Those aren't open yet, so they reply that meshes aren't available.

## Before you begin

* You need a Claude or ChatGPT account that can add a custom connector. Free Claude accounts can add one custom connector. In ChatGPT, adding a custom connector needs developer mode, which isn't available on every plan.
* The connector's address is `https://mesh.canvascope.org/mcp`.

## Connect the demo

> [tab] Claude
>
> **1. Open Connectors**
>
> On [claude.ai](https://claude.ai) or in the Claude desktop app, open **Customize**, then **Connectors**.
>
> **2. Add a custom connector**
>
> Select **+**, then **Add custom connector**. Name it "Scope Mesh" and enter this address:
>
> ```text theme={"system"}
> https://mesh.canvascope.org/mcp
> ```
>
> Then select **Add**.
>
> **3. Turn it on in a chat**
>
> In a chat, select **+** at the lower left, then **Connectors**, and make sure **Scope Mesh** is turned on.

> [tab] ChatGPT
>
> **1. Turn on developer mode**
>
> In ChatGPT, open **Settings**, then **Security and login**, and turn on **Developer mode**.
>
> **2. Add Scope Mesh**
>
> Go to **Plugins** and choose **+**. Name it "Scope Mesh" and enter this address:
>
> ```text theme={"system"}
> https://mesh.canvascope.org/mcp
> ```
>
> ChatGPT's menus change from time to time. If a step doesn't match what you see, check OpenAI's help center for how to add a custom app in developer mode.

> [tab] Claude Code
>
> In a terminal, run:
>
> ```bash theme={"system"}
> claude mcp add --transport http scope-mesh https://mesh.canvascope.org/mcp
> ```

## Things to ask

* "Use Scope Mesh. Run the demo mesh and tell me what it decided."
* "What would the mesh ask me if I joined the trip?"
* "Join the trip for me. I'm free March 12–18 but not March 10–16, Tokyo is over my budget, I'd rather go to Seoul, and I prefer nonstop flights."

Your assistant asks you each question first, or uses what you've already told it. Change an answer and ask again to see the plan change. For example, if Tokyo is over your budget, the group goes to Seoul. If you can't make March 12–18, no plan works for everyone.

## What your assistant can do with the demo

| What it can do | Details |
| - | - |
| Explain Scope Mesh | What a mesh is, and what is and isn't built yet. |
| Run the demo trip | The event log, the proposal, and every answer the mesh received from each traveler. |
| Show the questions for a fifth traveler | Whether you're free on each set of dates, whether each option is within your budget, your first choice, and whether you prefer nonstop flights. |
| Join the trip for you | Sends only yes or no answers and your first choice, then shows the new plan. The connector refuses anything else, such as an exact budget or dates. |

Your assistant can't approve a plan for you. In Scope Mesh, approval always comes from the person.
