The Superhuman Docs MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a connection layer that enables AI clients - like Cursor, Claude, etc. - to read and write to your Docs using plain-language prompts. Instead of clicking through the Docs UI, you describe what you want in the chat window of your chosen client, and the AI carries it out directly in your doc. Think of it as giving an AI agent the same access to your Superhuman Docs workspace that you have, and letting it act on your behalf based on your instructions.
The following article will walk you through the steps of connecting your preferred AI tool to the Superhuman Docs MCP. Once you've connected, you can check out this article for some helpful guidance and examples on using the Docs MCP.
A note for those already using the Coda MCP: If you already connected to the Coda MCP before the launch of Superhuman Docs MCP, you don't need to take any steps at this time. Existing connections will continue working as before, even if you're using docs.superhuman.com URLs. Learn more in the FAQs below.

Connect ChatGPT with Docs MCP
ℹ️ Note: ChatGPT currently has a native app for the Coda MCP only. A native Superhuman Docs MCP app is coming to ChatGPT soon. Until then, we recommend you continue connecting to the Coda app using the instructions below. You will still be able to use this Coda app to work with Superhuman Docs.
- Within ChatGPT, click into the Apps tab of the left panel
- Enter "Coda" in the search bar
- Select Coda from the search results, then click Connect
- Note: If you see Disabled by admin instead of Connect, this likely indicates that the admin of your account has disabled connecting to new apps. We suggest contacting your admin and requesting they enable the Coda app for you or your org. Refer to this documentation to learn more.
-
Click Sign in with Coda
- A new tab will open, where you will be prompted to sign into Coda/Docs and grant ChatGPT the necessary access.
- Once authentication has been completed, you'll be redirected back to ChatGTP and should see a Coda is now connected confirmation.
Tip: If you would like to give ChatGPT more context when working with Docs, look for the Reference memories and chats setting during the connection process (right below the Sign in with Coda button). This setting is toggled off by default, but you can toggle it on if desired. And if you've already connected to Coda and want to change this setting retroactively, just click on your account name in the lower-left > Settings > Apps > Coda app > toggle on/off the Reference memories and chats option.
Connect Claude Chat & Cowork with Docs MCP
Superhuman Docs MCP is now available as a native connector in Claude, allowing for an even easier connection. Check out the instructions below.
- Ensure you are logged into Claude
- Follow this link to access the native connector: https://claude.ai/directory/connectors/superhuman-docs
- Click the Connect button
- If the Connect button is not available, this most likely means that your Claude account is part of a Team or Enterprise plan, and your admin has not yet enabled this connector for your organization. In this case, we suggest reaching out to your admin to request access to this connector, then resuming the connection process as described here. See the FAQs below for more info on this.

FAQs
With the launch of Superhuman Docs, why am I still seeing a "Coda" app when connecting through ChatGPT?
ChatGPT currently only has a native app for the Coda MCP. We're building a native Superhuman Docs MCP app for ChatGPT, expected soon after launch. Until it's available, connecting through the existing Coda app is the easiest way to use the MCP in ChatGPT. And good news: you can still use this Coda app to work with Superhuman Docs, docs.superhuman.com URLs, etc. - everything is still supported.
If I already connected to the Coda MCP before launch, do I need to switch to the new Superhuman Docs MCP?
No. Your existing connection will keep working exactly as it does today, even if you start using docs.superhuman.com URLs (instead of coda.io URLs) within your agent. You're not required to switch to the new Docs MCP, and we'll let you know if and when it makes sense to move over.
One thing to note: Your agent may sometimes incorrectly assume that it cannot access a docs.superhuman.com link via the Coda MCP. If you encounter this issue, we suggest adding custom instructions to your agent, such as "Use Coda MCP for both docs.superhuman.com and coda.io URLs."
Can I connect Docs MCP to other AI tools not listed in this article?
You should be able to connect the Superhuman Docs MCP to any AI client that supports creating custom MCP connections. In most cases, you will need to use personal authentication tokens to complete the connection.
Do I have to be a Doc Maker to connect to the Docs MCP?
No - you do not have to be a Doc Maker to connect to the Superhuman Docs MCP. Anyone can connect to the Docs MCP, but what you can do from there does depend on your role in Docs.
How do I enable the Superhuman Docs connector in Claude, so the rest of my organization can easily connect?
If you are an admin/owner on a Team or Enterprise plan in Claude, you will need to ensure that the Superhuman Docs connector is enabled for org members before they can connect. To do so, follow these steps:
Navigate to Organization settings > Connectors.
Click Browse connectors at the bottom of the page.
Search for the Superhuman Docs connector, and click Add to your team.
Users in your org can now find and easily connect to the Docs MCP via the steps described in the section above. To learn more about enabling and managing connectors in Claude, please refer to their documentation.
Why am I getting a 401 error when trying to use my auth token to connect?
You may see this error when the auth token has the incorrect restriction type. To resolve this, we suggest creating a new auth token via your Superhuman Docs account settings, this time ensuring that you select MCP for the restriction type. Then attempt the connection again using this new token.
What auth scopes are used when connecting to the Docs MCP?
When connecting the Docs MCP via OAuth 2 (as with ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor) the auth scope will automatically be set to read and write.
How do I submit bugs or feedback for the MCP?
Please submit any bugs or feedback via this form. Thank you in advance!
