In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste this link:

Claude sends you to TradieBridge to sign in and approve the connection. Turn the connector on in a chat, and Claude can answer from your Simpro backup.
Before you start
- A TradieBridge account with Simpro connected. Paste a Simpro API key into TradieBridge and the first backup starts straight away.
- A Claude plan that supports custom connectors. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner may need to add it first.
Claude also reads Xero, Verizon Connect, Deputy, The Fleet Office, Dialpad and Moveware through the same link, if you connect them.
Add TradieBridge to Claude
- Open Claude on the web or the desktop app.
- Open Settings → Connectors, then click Add custom connector.
- Name it TradieBridge and paste the link above as the server URL. Click Add.
- Claude sends you to TradieBridge. Sign in, then approve the connection.
Use it in a chat
- Start a new chat.
- Open the + menu, then Connectors, and turn on TradieBridge.
- Ask a question, such as “Which finished jobs haven’t been invoiced yet?”
Claude decides which TradieBridge tools to use. The first time it uses a tool, it may ask you to allow it, once or always.
If it doesn’t work
- Claude can’t find your records: check that Simpro shows as connected in TradieBridge, and that its first backup has finished.
- The sign-in page doesn’t open: allow pop-ups for claude.ai, then add the connector again.
- The connector is greyed out: on a Team or Enterprise plan, ask an owner to add it for the organisation.
What Claude can do with it
- Read every record TradieBridge has backed up for your business, as the person who connected it.
- Start a sync or an export inside TradieBridge.
- Send us feedback in your words, once you agree to what it says.
It can’t change anything in Simpro or any other system you connect. TradieBridge never writes to them. It never sees tax file numbers, bank details or birth dates.
Disconnect it
In TradieBridge, open Connect to AI and click Disconnect beside Claude. Its access stops straight away.
What to ask
- Which finished jobs haven’t been invoiced yet?
- Which jobs blew their quote on hours this month?
- Do the timesheets match last week’s pay run?
- Is anyone on site at Job 4281 right now?
