Claude Desktop install (advanced).

For power users running Claude Desktop locally. The Connector flow above is the recommended path for most agents — faster to set up, no local install, identical core toolset.

Most agents should use the Connector flow.

If you're not sure, set it up in 60 seconds at /install/claude. Comes back here only if you specifically need Claude Desktop's local stdio surface.

Before you start: Both DXT and CLI install paths require an Ace Pro seat ($55/mo). If you haven't yet, sign up free — your admin connects FUB once and your whole team gets free Ace accounts. Then ask your admin to upgrade your seat to Pro (takes a minute).

Two install options

Option A · DXT

One-click install via DXT.

Download the latest DXT bundle, drag it into Claude Desktop, and sign in with your FUB email. Same OAuth flow as the Connector — verification code mailed to your FUB inbox.

  1. Download followupace-crm-v1.2.0.dxt from Releases.
  2. Drag the file into the Claude Desktop window.
  3. Sign in with your FUB email when prompted.

Option B · CLI

Install via Claude Code CLI.

One command. Run it in any terminal where the Claude CLI is installed; the next Claude Desktop session loads Ace.

claude mcp add --transport http followupace https://followupace.com/mcp
After install, restart Claude Desktop.

Tools on the Claude Desktop stdio surface.

Claude Desktop exposes the full stdio surface — every FUB-aware tool, every CRO aggregation tool, every FRED economic data tool, every Zillow workflow tool, plus the premium AI-layer tools (per-user agent memory, per-contact memory, Ace Trove reads, compliance scanner, knowledge graph, predictive prompts, daily brief). Note: the Connector flow now ships the same premium AI-layer tools too — the stdio-only delta is mostly SPA-auth writes (send_email_direct, create_action_plan_spa, etc.) that need a FUB Connect session.

Note. This path is currently positioned as Advanced. The Connector flow is recommended for most users — set it up at /install/claude. Claude Desktop install is unsigned and unpublished today; you'll get OS warnings on first launch.

Want the simpler path?

The Claude Connector takes 60 seconds. Same Ace, no local install.
