On your phone?
Connecting a client is easiest from a computer. Open your dashboard and hit Email me the setup link: it lands this page in your inbox so you can pick it up at a desk. (Claude's mobile app does support custom connectors if you'd rather finish here.)
If the first call doesn't land
- The OAuth window never appeared: some clients queue it behind the chat window. Look for a pending sign-in prompt, or remove and re-add the connector.
- Connected, but tool calls fail: confirm you finished the OAuth sign-in with the account you created, then check your dashboard usage counter: if it moved, the connection works and the error is per-request.
- Analysis tools return a paid-tier error: standard stats are free;
/analysis/*endpoints need any paid plan. See auth & quotas. - Still stuck? Email support@statshawk.ai. A human reads it.
