# Quickstart

URL: https://docs.sigment.ai/quickstart

Connect Claude to Sigment and build a creator shortlist in two minutes.

You need a Sigment account with credits ([sign up](https://platform.sigment.ai/sign-up)) and Claude on a plan that supports custom connectors.

## 1. Add the connector

In [claude.ai](https://claude.ai), open **Settings → Connectors**, click **Add custom connector**, and paste:

```txt
https://api.sigment.ai/mcp
```

## 2. Sign in and approve

Claude opens a Sigment sign-in window. Sign in with your Sigment account, then open **Sigment → Settings → AI agents** and approve the new agent. Until you approve it, every tool call answers with a message asking you to.

## 3. Ask for a shortlist

Start a new chat with the Sigment connector enabled and give it a brief and a budget:

```txt
Build me a shortlist of Instagram creators for vegan fitness moms in the US.
Spend at most 60 credits.
```

Claude will check your balance (`get_account`), quote the cost (`quote_cost`), run a discovery and an analysis, and save the best set as a creator list. Paid and public-link tools are marked as destructive, so Claude asks you to allow them unless you chose to always allow them.

<Callout title="Use the built-in prompts">
  The connector also ships prompts such as `build_shortlist` and `hit_audience_targets`, which spell out the whole workflow. See [Prompts](https://docs.sigment.ai/prompts).
