Connect an AI assistant

You can connect The Career Actor to an AI assistant and then just talk to it:

“I self-taped for a series regular on Lantern Season this morning, Kate sent it over. Casting is Berg & Lowe.”

The assistant writes the audition for you — project, role, format, the casting office, who submitted you — without you opening the app.

It works the other way too:

“How many auditions did I submit last quarter, and what’s my booking rate?”

What you need

• A Career Actor account.
• An assistant that supports remote MCP connectors. Claude does, on any paid plan. Support is arriving across other assistants; anything that can add a remote MCP server by URL will work.

There is nothing to install and nothing to download.

Connecting from Claude

1. In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.

2. Paste this URL:

   https://mcp.thecareeractor.com/mcp

3. Claude opens a Career Actor sign-in page. Sign in with your normal email and password and choose Approve. If you do not have an account yet, there is a link on that page to create one — you will come back to finish connecting.

4. That is it. Ask Claude to “list my recent auditions” to check it worked.

The sign-in happens on our domain, not inside the assistant. Never paste your Career Actor password into a chat window — no assistant needs it, and we will never ask for it that way.

Connecting from another assistant

Any client that speaks remote MCP with OAuth can use the same URL. Add https://mcp.thecareeractor.com/mcp as a remote MCP server; the client will register itself and walk you through the same sign-in page.

What the assistant can do

33 tools, of which 14 only read and 19 can write:

Area	What it can do
Auditions	List, read, create one or many, update, delete
Bookings	List, read, create, update, delete, and add, correct or remove worked days
Connections	List, search by name, read, create, update, delete, merge duplicates, and log or remove events like workshops and meetings
Your numbers	The same figures your dashboard draws — totals, booking rate, callback rate, auditions by month, status and format, revenue by month and pay type, and who you audition for most
Your own vocabulary	Read your statuses, formats, role sizes, project types, pay types, tags, companies and job titles, and add new project types and formats
Imports	Start an import, list past ones, and undo one

Writes accept names as well as ids, so you can say “Berg & Lowe” and “Self-Tape” rather than looking anything up. New tags, companies, project types and people are created when they do not exist. Your statuses and pay types are not — a typo should not quietly become a new audition status that every report then groups by.

What it deliberately cannot do

Some things are left off on purpose, and no assistant can reach them however it is asked:

• Billing. It cannot see your plan, start a checkout or open the billing portal. A tool that can produce a payment link is a tool that can be talked into one.
• Credentials. It cannot create access tokens or connect further clients.
• Your account. It cannot change your email, your password or your name, and it cannot delete your account.
• Anyone else’s data. Every request is made as you. There is no tool that reads another account, and no admin surface is exposed at all.

Limits worth knowing

• Full access or none. Approving gives the assistant the same read and write access you have — there are no partial permissions to grant. Approve only assistants you would hand your laptop to.
• Deletes are real. Deleting an audition, a booking or a connection is not recoverable from the assistant. Merging two connections cannot be undone either. Ask it to confirm before it does any of those.
• It can be wrong. An assistant writing from a conversation can mishear a date or attach the wrong casting director. Everything it writes shows up in the app exactly like anything you typed, so it is worth a glance after a busy session.
• A read-only account cannot be written to. If your trial has ended, the assistant can still read everything and will tell you it could not save.

Disconnecting

Remove the connector in your assistant’s own settings. That stops the assistant asking us for anything further, which is enough in the ordinary case.

It does not, on its own, revoke the authorisation here. To do that, reset your password — that revokes every connected assistant and signs out every device. An assistant already holding an access token can keep using it until it expires, which is at most an hour.

So there is currently no way to disconnect one assistant without signing everything else out. A per-client view is on its way, and this page will say so when it lands.

Questions

Email support@thecareeractor.com. If something the assistant wrote looks wrong, tell us what you asked for and what landed — that is the most useful bug report we get.
