Today we’re launching the Wolfia connector for Claude and ChatGPT. Connect Wolfia to Claude or ChatGPT and your AI assistant answers security questionnaires, DDQs and customer security questions from your approved Wolfia knowledge base, with a citation for every answer, acting with your own Wolfia role.
Why connect Wolfia to Claude and ChatGPT
Claude and ChatGPT write a good first draft, but on their own they treat a draft the same as your approved policy. Connected to Wolfia, they answer from the approved sources Wolfia keeps in sync, cite where each answer came from, and save edits back to Wolfia where your team reviews them. Wolfia vs Claude covers the difference in more depth.
With the connector you can ask a security question and get a cited answer, find a document and get a download link, look up what you told a customer in past questionnaires, check which questionnaire answers still need attention, and edit and approve answers, all without leaving your assistant.
What you need
- A Wolfia account in your organization. If you don’t have one, ask a Wolfia Admin to invite you.

- The Wolfia MCP server URL, with no trailing slash.

Sign in to Wolfia
- When you connect, a browser window opens. Use your usual Wolfia sign-in, SSO or email.
- Wolfia shows a consent screen naming where your sign-in will go, such as
claude.ai. It warns you when the application registered recently or when nobody in your organization has approved that destination before. - Check the destination, and click Approve only if you started the connection yourself.
- Go back to Claude or ChatGPT. You’re connected.
Your client refreshes access on its own, and asks you to sign in again after 90 days without use.
What the Wolfia connector can do with your role
Every tool runs as you, with your Wolfia role, inside your organization. Your AI client only sees and changes what you can see and change in Wolfia.
| Role | What the connection can do |
|---|---|
| User | Chat, search, documents, Slack, questionnaires, customer records and contract obligations, and read knowledge gaps, pre-approved answers and AI instructions |
| Expert | Everything a User can do, and edit shared content such as knowledge, corrections, pre-approved answers and instructions, and work the trust center access request queue |
| Admin | Everything an Expert can do, and read analytics, manage trust center settings, and approve waiting changes in Wolfia |
Wolfia has two OAuth permissions. chat:read covers tools that read, and chat:write covers tools that make changes. A client that asks for chat:read alone only gets tools that read.
Changes that are hard to undo wait for a person. Deleting something through the Wolfia delete tool, approving a whole email domain or publishing a trust center update creates a request that an Admin approves in Wolfia, and nothing changes until they do. Your AI client can’t approve anything.
Examples to try in Claude and ChatGPT

| Change the answer to question 12 on the Contoso questionnaire to say we rotate keys annually, and approve it. | Edits and approves the answer, following that questionnaire’s permissions | User |
| How much time did Wolfia and our reviewers spend on our recent questionnaires? | Reports time spent by Wolfia and by people | Admin |
Ask Wolfia explains how answers and citations work. Signed-in customers can read every tool and the role it needs in the tools reference.
How Wolfia handles your data in Claude and ChatGPT
- Wolfia receives what your AI client sends to a tool, such as the question you asked, and returns the result to that client. Your Claude or ChatGPT conversation is then handled under that provider’s terms.
- Wolfia will not use customer service data, meaning indexed content or queries, to train general-purpose AI models offered externally by Wolfia or third parties without explicit prior written consent.
- Retention of service data is governed by your agreement with Wolfia and your configuration. When you terminate your account, service data is retained for 30 days for data retrieval, then deleted from active systems.
The Wolfia privacy policy has the categories of data, purposes, recipients and retention periods. The terms cover use of the service.
How to disconnect Wolfia
In Claude, go to Customize > Connectors and click Remove. Team and Enterprise Owners use Organization settings > Connectors. To keep the connection but limit it, turn Wolfia off for a chat from + > Connectors, or set a single tool to Blocked on the connector’s page.

A Wolfia Admin who deactivates an account also ends that account’s connections.
