Auth & scopes

OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration

Clients register themselves on first use — there is nothing to copy-paste, no client secret, and no shared API key.

Standard

OAuth 2.0 with PKCE (S256)

Registration

Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591)

Default scope

read

Tokens are short-lived JWTs scoped to your account. You can revoke access for any connected app at any time from Settings.

Troubleshooting

Common issues

If you're still stuck after this, email us — we read everything.

I added the connector but I don't see any tools.

In Claude.ai, sign out of the connector and add it back. Tool discovery happens after the first authorized request — a fresh session usually fixes it.

The OAuth popup keeps looping back to the consent screen.

Disable any popup or third-party-cookie blockers for claude.ai and www.datadisco.com, then retry. The flow uses PKCE with no client secret, so cookie isolation can break the callback.

I get 401 Unauthorized after a few days of use.

Access tokens expire and refresh automatically. If Claude can't refresh, remove the connector under Settings → Connectors and add it again — you'll re-authorize in seconds.

Can my AI assistant write data back to DataDisco?

Not today. The MCP server is scoped read for personas, prototypes, and feedback, with two narrowly-scoped write helpers (generate_persona, create_prototype) that mirror what you can do in the web app.

Dance in your users' shoes.

Create a DataDisco workspace, add a few personas, then point Claude at the connector URL.
