1DOX connector for Claude

What it does

The 1DOX connector lets Claude (and other MCP-capable assistants) search, read and summarise the documents in one 1DOX workspace, and tell you which drafting template fits. It is read-only unless you tick "Save new documents and prepare signature requests" when connecting. With that ticked it can also save text as a new private document and add signers to a document as drafts. Either way it never edits, shares, moves, deletes or digitally signs anything, and it cannot send anything to anyone: you review draft signers and send the request in the 1DOX portal.

Tools

• list_documents — Lists the workspace's documents, newest first — titles, ids and signing status, no text.
• search_documents — Full-text search across the workspace; returns short matching excerpts with the document id.
• get_document — Reads the extracted text of one document by id.
• get_document_details — Shows one document's file, dates, folder, invited signers and digital signatures with their verification result.
• list_folders — Lists the workspace's folders that hold a document you can see.
• get_connection_info — Shows who the connection acts for and which workspace it reaches.
• list_templates — Lists the 1DOX drafting templates (board minutes, power of attorney and so on).
• save_document — With write access only: saves text as a new private Word document. Never changes an existing one.
• prepare_signature_request — With write access only: adds signers to a document as drafts. Sends nothing; you send the request in 1DOX.

Requirements

• A 1DOX account on the Basic plan or higher. A company workspace needs the company's own plan to be Basic or higher.
• For a company workspace, a company administrator (a registry-listed representative) must first switch on AI connections for this company in Settings → AI connections. It is off by default. Your personal workspace needs no switch.
• Each connection reaches exactly one workspace — yours or one company you are a member of.

Connect in claude.ai or Claude Desktop

1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. Name it (e.g. 1DOX), enter https://1dox.eu/api/mcp as the server URL and continue. Keep the options Claude detects — nothing needs to be copied.
3. Press Connect and sign in to 1DOX.
4. On the 1DOX consent screen, pick the one workspace Claude may read and confirm.

Connect in Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http 1dox https://1dox.eu/api/mcp

Then run /mcp in Claude Code and choose 1DOX to sign in through the browser.

Connection key (clients that send their own header)

For a client that cannot sign in through the browser, open Settings → AI connections, choose the Command line tab, name the assistant and press Authorize. 1DOX shows a connection key (1dox_mcp_…) and a ready-made command — copy it now, the key is shown only once:

claude mcp add -s user --transport http 1dox https://1dox.eu/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer 1dox_mcp_…"

Any MCP client can use the same server URL with an Authorization: Bearer header. The key is not an OAuth Client ID and works until you revoke it.

Limits

Each connection is metered on its own, over rolling windows: requests per hour, distinct documents read per 24 hours and data served per 24 hours. Search returns excerpts and costs little; reading a whole document counts most.

When a limit is reached the assistant is told how long to wait before it may try again.

Revoking access

Open Settings → AI connections and press Revoke next to the connection; the assistant loses access immediately. Removing the connector in Claude does not revoke it on our side, so revoke it here too. When a company administrator switches AI connections off, every connection to that company is revoked at once.

Troubleshooting

• Claude cannot connect or asks you to sign in again — the connection was revoked or its access expired. Reconnect, and check the URL is exactly https://1dox.eu/api/mcp.
• “An administrator has not enabled AI connections” — ask a company administrator to switch them on (see Requirements), or connect your personal workspace instead.
• The assistant says the plan does not include AI connections — the workspace's plan is below Basic or has lapsed. Upgrade and the same connection works again.
• A document cannot be found — a connection only sees the workspace chosen on the consent screen. Connect again and pick the other workspace.
• Pasting a 1dox_mcp_… key as the OAuth Client ID fails — a connection key goes in the Authorization header, not in Claude's OAuth fields. Leave those as detected.
• A limit was reached — wait for the time the assistant reports, or move to a larger plan.

Privacy and support

Document text and details you ask the assistant about are sent to that assistant's provider (for Claude, Anthropic) under your own agreement with them. We log each request's tool, document and size to enforce the limits. See the privacy policy (section 9). Questions: info@1dox.eu.
