Connect Smartsheet to Claude Code

Make Claude add rows and keep trackers current in Smartsheet. From the terminal, inside the sessions where you already work.

How do you connect Smartsheet to Claude Code?

Claude Code reaches outside tools through MCP servers. To connect Smartsheet, you add a Smartsheet MCP server: a small hosted service that exposes Smartsheet's data and actions over the Model Context Protocol. With a custom connector we build for you, that is one command in the terminal, then an OAuth sign-in with your own Smartsheet account. No API keys pasted into config files.

Then run /mcp inside a Claude Code session to sign in. Add it with --scope project and the connector is checked into the repo for your whole team.

What can Claude Code do in Smartsheet once connected?

Full read-write Smartsheet access lets Claude add rows to the right sheet, update cell values and status columns, set assignees and due dates, attach comments, and move work along. The tracker upkeep that used to mean clicking through the grid happens where the work already lives, once you approve.

  • Add a new row to a chosen sheet with values, an assignee, and a due date
  • Update cell values like status, priority, or percent complete from a discussion
  • Set or change the assigned contact and dates on existing rows
  • Post a comment or update on a row to capture context
  • Move a row's status forward as the work progresses
  • Find every row matching a query and propose batched updates

One connector, every Claude surface

The connector we build is a remote MCP server, which is the same standard claude.ai and Claude Desktop use. Add it once and the same Smartsheet access works in Claude Code for you, in claude.ai for the rest of the team, and in Claude Desktop. One build, one set of permissions, one monthly plan covering all of them.

Build it yourself, or have it built?

If you live in the terminal, you can absolutely write your own MCP server against the Smartsheet API. The protocol is open. What you take on is everything around the happy path: OAuth token refresh, hosting, monitoring, keeping up when Smartsheet changes its API and when the MCP spec itself moves, and scoping write actions so an agent can never do more than you intended. We build Smartsheet connectors with separated read and write tools and approval gates on destructive actions, then host and maintain them so they keep working while you work.

Frequently asked questions

Does the same Smartsheet connector work in claude.ai and Claude Code?
Yes. It is one remote MCP server. Claude Code adds it with a single "claude mcp add" command; claude.ai and Claude Desktop add it as a custom connector in Settings. Each person signs in with their own Smartsheet account, so access always matches what that person can already see and do.
Do I need to host or maintain anything myself?
No. The connector runs as a hosted service we operate: we handle uptime, token health, API changes on Smartsheet's side, and MCP spec migrations under the monthly plan. Your side is one command in the terminal and an OAuth sign-in.
Is it safe to give a coding agent write access to Smartsheet?
Write access is scoped, not blanket. Read tools and write tools are separated, destructive actions like deleting or sending are gated behind your explicit approval, and the connector can never exceed the permissions of the Smartsheet account it signs in with. Revoking access is one click in Smartsheet.
