Natiiv Beat
Beat MCP Connector
The Beat connector lets AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — such as Claude — read and write your Beat workspace: search and update tasks, fetch workstreams, write docs and comments, and manage attachments, with the same permissions as your own account.
Endpoint
Streamable HTTP over HTTPS:
https://beat-staging.natiiv.ai/api/mcpAuthentication & access
Every connection is authorized per user with OAuth 2.0 (PKCE). Beat is provisioned per workspace: anyone can add the connector, but signing in requires an account an admin created. If your team doesn't use Beat yet, contact us and we'll set up your workspace.
Add Beat to Claude
- 1In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Natiiv Beat from the directory — or add a custom connector with the endpoint URL above.
- 2Sign in with your Beat account when prompted, review the consent screen, and approve.
- 3Ask Claude about your workspace — try "what's due this week?".

How read and write tools are separated
Read tools (search, fetch, directory, history, standards, attachment reads) never modify data and are marked read-only. Write tools are separate, and hard deletion is confined to a single clearly-marked destructive tool. Two deliberate judgment calls: notifications is one tool even though it lists and marks-read — it only touches your own inbox; switch_tenant stores which workspace you're working in and changes no data.
Limits
Results are capped at roughly 80,000 characters (oversized results are truncated with a notice). Workstream fetches list up to 200 tasks; larger attachments come back as time-limited download links. API keys carry per-minute rate limits. Tool calls complete within 60 seconds.
