Connect Google Messages to Claude

• Catch you up

  Ask what you missed and Claude reads your unread Google Messages chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.

  get_messages_to_summarize

• Find any message

  The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Claude searches your Google Messages history and quotes the message.

  search_messages

• Draft replies

  Claude writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.

  draft_reply

• Send with your OK

  When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Google Messages account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

   Ask Claude about your Google Messages

   Open a new conversation in Claude and ask about your chats. Claude calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.

• Google Messages in ConnectChats

  SMS, MMS and RCS chats, including group chats, are supported. Your phone sends and receives the texts, so it needs to stay on and connected to the internet. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. This is for Android phones. On iPhone, texts go through iMessage, which needs a Mac.

• ConnectChats in Claude

  Claude supports remote MCP servers as custom connectors. Add ConnectChats once, sign in with your passkey, and switch it on in any conversation where you want Claude to see your chats. Custom connectors work on every Claude plan, including Free, which allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans, members cannot add connectors themselves. An owner adds ConnectChats in Organization settings, then each member connects their own account. Add the connector on the web or desktop. It then works in the Claude iPhone and Android apps too. Claude connects from Anthropic's cloud, not from your computer, so nothing needs to stay running on your side.

• You pick the chats

  Claude only sees the Google Messages chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.

• Drafts by default

  Claude prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Google Messages, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.

• Stored messages are encrypted

  Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
