Connected AI · Pro

Ask Claude about your business.

Connect Reel Rate to Claude and stop digging for your own numbers. Clients, pipeline, rate cards, tracked time, real margins. Ask in plain English, get a real answer. Claude can even draft the proposal while you're still talking about the job.

What changes

The questions you never bothered to answer.

Not because you didn't care. Because pulling the numbers took twenty minutes and the moment passed. Now it takes one sentence.

“Which client actually made me the most money last year, after costs?”

Profitability, per client

“Hatch sent their intake back. Draft me a three-tier proposal off my rate card.”

Intake + rates → draft proposal

“What's sitting in my pipeline, and what's it worth if half of it closes?”

Weighted pipeline value

“Who owes me money right now, and how late are they?”

Outstanding and overdue

“Here are my notes from the call. File them under Northlight and pull out the action items.”

Meeting note, written back

“Am I charging enough for editing compared to what it actually takes me?”

Rate card vs. tracked hours

Setup

Connect it once.

You'll do this on a computer, not your phone. Custom connectors get added from claude.ai in a browser. Once it's connected it works everywhere you use Claude, including your phone.

1

Check you're on Pro

Open Reel Rate, go to Settings, then Subscription. Connected AI is a Pro feature and the server checks every request, not just the first one.

2

Open Claude's connector settings

Go to claude.ai in a desktop browser. Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector.

3

Paste the server URL

Enter https://mcp.reelrate.io/mcp and add it. Name it Reel Rate.

4

Sign in with your Reel Rate account

Claude sends you to a Reel Rate sign-in page. Use the same email you use in the app. Approve it and you're done.

5

Optional: let it write

The connection starts read-only. Want Claude adding notes, quotes, proposals, and deals? Flip it on in the app under Settings, Connected AI, Allow AI to add records. Flip it off whenever you want.

Not a Claude user? Reel Rate runs on the Model Context Protocol, the open standard for connecting AI assistants to real data. Any MCP client can use the same URL. The connection screen just lives somewhere else.

Permissions

Read anything. Draft anything. Send nothing.

Most integrations tell you what they can do. Here's the list of what this one can't. These limits live on the server, not in the instructions. They hold even if you ask nicely.

Always on

It can read

· Clients and full CRM detail

· Sales pipeline, stages, weighted value

· Active projects and deliverables

· Invoices, outstanding and overdue

· Expenses and per-client profitability

· Retainers and live MRR

· Your rate cards, your price sheet

· Tracked time and earnings

· Client intake forms and their answers

· Meeting notes, shoots, next moves, testimonials

· Tax bookkeeping and quarterly payments

Opt-in

It can add

+ A note on a client's activity

+ A meeting note with action items

+ A draft quote in your Vault

+ A draft tiered proposal

+ A deal on your pipeline board

+ A stage move between Lead, Quoted, and Proposal Out

+ Revisions to drafts. Nothing here ever gets sent.

Hard limits

It can never

× Send anything to a client

× Delete anything, ever

× Mark a deal Won or Lost

× Touch a quote you've accepted

× Touch a proposal you've sent

× Edit an invoice or a contract

× Take a payment or issue a refund

× See another Reel Rate user's data

Security

It signs in as you, and only as you.

Worth understanding before you connect anything to your money.

Your login, not a master key

Every request runs on your own signed-in session. The server holds no master credential and has no back door. It can't reach a record your own account can't reach.

Locked at the database

Access rules live on the database itself, not in the connector code. A bug in the connector still can't hand your rows to somebody else.

Every call is logged

Each request gets recorded against your account with the tool used and the result. There's always a record of what was asked and what came back.

Two separate switches

Reading requires Pro. Writing requires Pro plus the opt-in you control in the app. Turn writes off and it takes effect immediately, on the server, mid-conversation.

Nothing trains on your books

Reel Rate sends your data to the assistant you connected, at the moment you ask, to answer your question. That's it.

Disconnect whenever

Remove the connector in Claude and access ends. Your Reel Rate data stays exactly where it was.

Questions

Before you connect.

Do I need to pay for Claude too?

Custom connectors require a paid Claude plan. That's between you and Anthropic. Reel Rate doesn't charge extra for the connection beyond Pro.

Can I set this up on my phone?

No. You add the connector from a browser on a computer. After that it works in the Claude mobile app too. Same account, same connection.

What if Claude gets something wrong?

It's reading your real records, so the numbers are your numbers. But an assistant can still misread a question or draw the wrong conclusion. Treat drafts as drafts. Everything it writes lands somewhere you review before it goes anywhere. That's exactly why it can't send.

Will a draft proposal show up in the app?

Yes. It lands in your Proposal Vault marked draft after your next sync. Open it, tweak it, send it from the app like anything else.

Is my data used to train AI models?

Not by Reel Rate. Whether your assistant provider trains on your conversations depends on their policy and your settings. Worth checking on their end if it matters to you.

Something isn't working.

Disconnect and reconnect first. An expired session causes most of it. Still stuck? Email hello@reelrate.io with what you asked and what came back.

Two minutes, once.

Then every question about your business has a one-sentence answer.
