Spark in Claude and ChatGPT

Spark is an MCP connector, the standard way Claude and ChatGPT plug into other apps. Ask them about your Spark library: find references by idea, read what's said in a video, look through a board, add a list of links, or gather references onto a board or into a collection, without leaving the chat.

Who can use it

Part of the Studio plan. A workspace admin switches it on once in the Spark app, under Settings, Claude and ChatGPT. Then everyone in the workspace can connect their own Claude or ChatGPT. You need to have signed in to the Spark app on your computer at least once.

Add Spark to Claude

Add to Claude

Click Continue until you see Add, keeping the suggested settings. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in to Spark.

On Claude Team or Enterprise, only an owner can add Spark for the whole organisation. Everyone else then clicks Connect next to Spark in Claude's Connectors.

On Claude's free plan, this uses your one custom connector.

Add Spark to ChatGPT

Open ChatGPT

Do this on a computer, in your browser.

Paste this into ChatGPT's form, not into a chat or your browser.

  1. Click Add, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Name it Spark, paste the address and choose OAuth if asked.
  3. Tick I understand, then click Create as a plugin.
  4. Install it, click Connect and sign in to Spark.

In a chat, type @Spark.

If your company manages ChatGPT, an admin may need to add Spark for you.

Things to try

  • “Find our references with handheld night shots.”
  • “What does the narrator say in the Nike film we saved last week?”
  • “Summarise the Tyre brief board.”
  • “Add these 12 Instagram links to a collection called Summer pitch.”
  • “Make a board called Nike ads with all the Nike ads in my library.”

What Claude and ChatGPT can see

Only the workspace you chose when you connected, and only what you can see in Spark: references, frames, boards and collections. Private boards and collections stay private to the person who made them. Spark's sample content is never included.

Private Vimeo and Frame.io review links are never shared, but links to unlisted YouTube videos are shared as they are.

What Claude or ChatGPT reads is kept under that account's own data and training settings. For client work under NDA, use a business plan, or turn off model training in your Claude or ChatGPT settings.

Adding links

Links are added to your library through the Spark app on a computer in your workspace, a few a minute, using that computer's connection first. Keep Spark open; it pauses while Spark is closed and carries on when it's back.

You'll find each batch in the Spark app under Settings, Bulk import, where you can pause or cancel it. Up to 50 links at a time and 200 a day per workspace, of which 50 can be Instagram links.

Claude and ChatGPT ask before adding links: check the list each time, and don't set Add links to Spark to always allow.

Boards and collections

Claude and ChatGPT can make a board or a collection and put references that are already in your library on it, when you ask. Unless you've set them to always allow, they ask first, and afterwards they tell you what they added, with links, so you can check the board or collection.

A new board can be seen by everyone in the workspace, like one you make in the Spark app, and a new collection is private to you. Cards go in a tidy grid below whatever is already on a board, and nothing already there is moved or removed.

If the board is open in Spark and you go back to it within a few minutes, the new cards appear within a few seconds, with Claude or ChatGPT shown on the board while that lasts. After that, close and reopen the board to see them. A board that isn't open shows them when you open it.

Turning it off

To remove Spark, disconnect it in Claude or ChatGPT. A workspace admin can switch it off for everyone in the Spark app, under Settings, Claude and ChatGPT.

If something's not right

  • Couldn't reach Spark: check the address is exactly https://get-spark.io/mcp, with no www and no slash at the end.
  • Switched off: a workspace admin switches it on in the Spark app.
  • Wrong workspace: disconnect, reconnect and choose the right workspace when asked.
  • Not available: Spark for Claude and ChatGPT is part of Studio.
