1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,760 Claude reads your Notion board and tells you what's behind schedule. 2 00:00:04,170 --> 00:00:06,850 Then it creates a page with the week's plan. 3 00:00:06,890 --> 00:00:08,770 Without copying or pasting anything. 4 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:14,135 That's MCP. Today you'll learn what it is and how it differs from an API. 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,480 And you'll connect your first app just by asking Claude. 6 00:00:17,790 --> 00:00:21,570 And before connecting any app, three questions that protect you. 7 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,800 Think about how you work with AI today. 8 00:00:25,210 --> 00:00:28,490 You copy a table from Notion. You paste it into the chat. 9 00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:32,530 Claude replies. You copy the answer and take it back to Notion. 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,935 Claude is brilliant, but it lives in its own window. 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,300 It can't see your apps. And you end up as your own AI's mail carrier. 12 00:00:41,430 --> 00:00:44,270 First, a word you'll hear a lot: 13 00:00:44,550 --> 00:00:45,550 API. 14 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,360 An API is the door an app opens for other programs. 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,920 Your weather app asks for the temperature and gets the answer. 16 00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:57,830 The problem is that each door speaks its own language. 17 00:00:57,910 --> 00:01:02,670 To connect Claude to ten apps, someone would code ten different connections. 18 00:01:03,140 --> 00:01:07,420 MCP is an open standard Anthropic introduced to solve that. 19 00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:10,780 Every app that adopts it ships an MCP server. 20 00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:13,820 It's a piece that introduces itself to Claude with its menu. 21 00:01:14,290 --> 00:01:16,905 That menu says which tools it offers: 22 00:01:16,930 --> 00:01:19,570 search, read, create a page. 23 00:01:19,650 --> 00:01:22,250 Claude reads it on its own and picks which one to use. 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,200 That's the difference. With an API, someone codes the connection. 25 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,400 With MCP, the app introduces itself and Claude learns to use it. 26 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,180 Often the API is still there, behind the server. 27 00:01:36,810 --> 00:01:40,690 Meet Mariana. She coordinates launches at Estudio Faro. 28 00:01:40,730 --> 00:01:43,090 All her work lives in Notion. 29 00:01:43,340 --> 00:01:46,355 Notion has an official MCP server. 30 00:01:46,380 --> 00:01:48,395 Mariana doesn't look up commands. 31 00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:50,060 She opens Claude Code and says: 32 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,044 Connect Notion to Claude Code with its official MCP server and let me know when it's 33 00:01:55,069 --> 00:01:55,819 ready. 34 00:01:57,785 --> 00:02:00,560 Claude adds it for her and tells her what's left: 35 00:02:00,585 --> 00:02:03,505 reopen Claude Code and sign in. 36 00:02:03,815 --> 00:02:07,590 That part is yours: you sign in to Notion in the browser and authorize. 37 00:02:07,615 --> 00:02:09,995 Claude will only see what your account already sees. 38 00:02:10,625 --> 00:02:13,545 Now, the test. Mariana says: 39 00:02:13,705 --> 00:02:18,317 Check the Lanzamiento board in Notion and tell me which tasks are behind. 40 00:02:20,547 --> 00:02:24,027 Claude finds the board, reads the tasks and replies: 41 00:02:24,307 --> 00:02:27,907 three are behind, and one is blocking the other two. 42 00:02:29,377 --> 00:02:31,977 Nobody explained how that board is set up. 43 00:02:32,177 --> 00:02:34,497 It figured it out with the tools on the menu. 44 00:02:34,967 --> 00:02:37,487 Now, something that writes to Notion. 45 00:02:37,607 --> 00:02:38,847 Mariana says: 46 00:02:39,067 --> 00:02:43,270 Create a Notion page with this week's plan so we can catch up. 47 00:02:45,717 --> 00:02:48,557 Before creating anything, Claude asks for permission. 48 00:02:48,837 --> 00:02:52,937 Mariana reviews, approves, and the page appears in her Notion. 49 00:02:54,567 --> 00:02:57,207 Remember the three questions that protect you? 50 00:02:57,287 --> 00:02:59,407 They come before connecting any app. 51 00:02:59,817 --> 00:03:02,097 One: where the server comes from. 52 00:03:02,297 --> 00:03:05,777 Use each app's official one, or one you know well. 53 00:03:06,247 --> 00:03:11,367 Two: what it reads. A server that reads the web can carry hidden instructions. 54 00:03:11,407 --> 00:03:14,247 Check every permission before approving it. 55 00:03:14,624 --> 00:03:16,717 Three: what you have connected. 56 00:03:16,757 --> 00:03:18,877 Review it every now and then. Tell it: 57 00:03:19,097 --> 00:03:23,353 Which MCP servers do I have connected, and what can each one do? 58 00:03:25,747 --> 00:03:28,107 Claude shows you each server and its menu. 59 00:03:28,227 --> 00:03:30,807 If you no longer use one, ask it to remove it. 60 00:03:32,437 --> 00:03:34,957 Before, Mariana copied and pasted. 61 00:03:34,997 --> 00:03:39,437 Now Claude reads, proposes and, with her permission, writes to Notion. 62 00:03:39,847 --> 00:03:42,847 This is the map. At the center, Claude Code. 63 00:03:43,047 --> 00:03:45,407 Each app brings its server with its menu. 64 00:03:45,447 --> 00:03:48,687 You ask, you authorize and you approve. 65 00:03:49,917 --> 00:03:51,757 The same board can do more. 66 00:03:52,147 --> 00:03:53,867 For your next meeting, tell it: 67 00:03:54,087 --> 00:03:58,063 Turn the notes from today's meeting into tasks on the Lanzamiento board. 68 00:04:00,737 --> 00:04:03,737 If you add your calendar, just like Notion, tell it: 69 00:04:03,957 --> 00:04:08,463 Compare the board's dates with my calendar and tell me which deliverables clash with 70 00:04:08,488 --> 00:04:09,238 meetings. 71 00:04:11,285 --> 00:04:13,885 And when leadership asks for an update, tell it: 72 00:04:14,065 --> 00:04:18,070 Using the Lanzamiento board, build a progress page for leadership. 73 00:04:20,765 --> 00:04:25,125 In this video's description you'll find the full prompts and resources. 74 00:04:25,595 --> 00:04:27,650 Your apps already talk to Claude. 75 00:04:27,675 --> 00:04:29,535 You decide the conversation.
