Internal AI apps

Four apps your AI should be connected to.

Connect the interface you use.

Claude desktop app start here
  1. Open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Click Connect on HawkMind, TaxHawk Docs, AI Hub, and The Feed.
  3. Sign in with your TaxHawk Microsoft account. Once per app, and that's it.
Claude Cowork
  1. Open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Click Connect on HawkMind, TaxHawk Docs, AI Hub, and The Feed.
  3. Sign in with your TaxHawk Microsoft account.

There is nothing extra to install for Cowork. Anything you connect here is also available in the Claude app, and the other way round.

Claude Code — terminal
  1. Run /mcp. On a managed Mac all four are already listed.
  2. Pick each one and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens; sign in with your TaxHawk Microsoft account.
  3. Do that for all four — they authenticate separately. Run /mcp again and each should read connected.

If they are missing, add the catalog from inside Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add https://hub.taxhawk.ai/marketplace.json

then install the bundle:

/plugin install core@taxhawk-ai-hub

Install this even if all four already show up. The connectors are the servers; the plugin also installs the four matching skills, which are what teach Claude how to use each app well. You will not get duplicates — Claude Code removes them.

If you added the catalog yourself, switch on auto-update so you keep getting improvements. Run /plugin, open the Marketplaces tab, select taxhawk-ai-hub, and turn auto-update on. Catalogs you add yourself start with it off; managed Macs already have it on.

Updates land in the background shortly after Claude Code starts, and you will be prompted to run /reload-plugins. To update on the spot instead:

/plugin update core@taxhawk-ai-hub

Claude on the web
  1. Go to Settings → Connectors.
  2. Click Connect on each of the four apps.
  3. Sign in with your TaxHawk Microsoft account.
Claude mobile — iOS and Android
  1. Open Settings → Connectors.
  2. Click Connect on each of the four apps.
  3. Sign-in opens in your phone's browser and takes a few seconds.
Claude Code — VS Code and JetBrains

The extensions share setup with the terminal, so if Claude Code is configured on your machine, the IDE is covered too.

Run /mcp from the Claude panel to check.

Codex, Cursor, and other MCP clients

None of this is Claude-only. Each app is a standard remote MCP server, so any client that supports HTTP MCP can use the same /mcp address.

codex mcp add hawkmind --url https://hawkmind.taxhawk.ai/mcp

For Cursor and others, add it as an HTTP MCP server using that address. Swap in the other three from the cards above.

Start with a question.

  • HawkMind“What did I note about the IRS API last month?”
  • TaxHawk Docs“How does TaxHawk deploy to Kubernetes?”
  • AI Hub“Has anyone built something to summarize a merge request?”
  • The Feed“Anything happening right now?”

A few practical details.

Do I need an API key?

No. Sign in with your TaxHawk Microsoft account. There are no API keys, environment variables, or shared credentials to manage.

My AI isn't using them. What's wrong?

Almost always it just isn't signed in on that particular interface. Open your connector list and check that all four are there and connected — sign-in is per interface, so the desktop app being connected says nothing about Claude Code.

You should not have to ask it to use them. Each app tells Claude what it is for and when to reach for it, so the right one should come up on its own. If all four are connected and it still ignores them, that's a bug worth reporting.

Do I have to tell it to check HawkMind or Docs first?

No — that's the point. Ask your question normally. Mention a TaxHawk system and it should check Docs; refer to something you told it earlier and it should search your memory; start building an AI tool and it should look through the Hub first.

Being explicit still works and does no harm, so if you want to be sure, say "check the docs" or "what do you remember about…".

Is any of this sending our data somewhere new?

No. All four run on TaxHawk infrastructure behind our own single sign-on, and your HawkMind memory is private to you — nobody else can search it unless you deliberately share something.

You can see, edit, and delete anything remembered about you at any time from hawkmind.taxhawk.ai. Nothing gets remembered behind your back.

Something's broken, or I want it to do something else.

File an issue on the app it concerns. Bugs, requests, and ideas all welcome.
