Connect HICARI with ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants
On this page
HICARI’s AI connector links your brand account with your AI assistant: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and others. Once connected, you can ask it in your own words to search for creators, prepare a brief draft or summarize your pending deliveries, and it works with the real data from your account. It is only for brand accounts.
Before you start
- A brand account on HICARI. If you don’t have one yet, create one for free.
- An assistant that supports remote MCP connectors with login: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Perplexity, Gemini and others.
- The connector address, which you’ll find below to copy. It is also in your dashboard, under AI Assistants (side menu), together with these instructions.

https://api.hicari.io/mcpAuthentication (OAuth) is configured automatically: you’ll be asked to sign in to HICARI the first time.
The HICARI consent page
When connecting, your assistant opens a HICARI page. On it:
- Sign in with your HICARI account. Your password never reaches the assistant.
- Choose the brand account you want to connect if you have access to more than one.
- Check the permissions you grant the assistant.
- If you enable spending, set the daily limit for that connection.
Once you confirm, you return to your assistant and can ask it for whatever you need.
What permissions you can grant
| Permission | What the assistant can do | When it is active |
|---|---|---|
| Read | Search for creators and view their profiles, your favorites and lists, your requests and their status, candidates, deliveries and their download links, the content library, messages, balance and invoices | Always |
| Write | Manage favorites and creator lists; create, edit and duplicate drafts of requests; open chats and send messages; request free reviews; rate creators | If you check it |
| Spend | Publish requests, choose candidates, add creator slots and approve deliveries | If you check it (disabled by default) |
Messages sent by the assistant go through the same moderation as on the platform: contact details cannot be shared.
Spending: always with your confirmation
Every action with a cost is carried out in two steps:
- The assistant shows you a preview of what it is going to do and the amount.
- It only carries it out once you confirm that you want to proceed.
In addition:
- Daily limit per connection. You choose it when connecting: 500 € by default and up to 5,000 €.
- No cards in the chat. The assistant uses your balance. If it is not enough, HICARI provides you with a secure Stripe payment link to complete the payment. Balance top-ups are made in your dashboard: you’ll find it under Balance, packs and payments.
Privacy and security
- Creators’ contact details are not shared. The assistant never receives their phone number, email address or physical address.
- Your password isn’t shared either. Access is authorized on a HICARI page (OAuth).
- Your team’s roles are respected. If you’re a member of a brand account, the assistant can only access the sections allowed by your role. More information in members and permissions.

How to disconnect an assistant
In your dashboard, go to AI Assistants from the side menu. You’ll see the list of connected assistants: click Disconnect on the one you want. It will no longer have access to your account, and to use it again, you’ll need to connect it again.
If something doesn’t work
The consent page has expired
For security reasons, the HICARI page expires if you don’t complete it in time. Go back to your assistant and start the connection again.
The assistant says «you don’t have permission for that section»
Your role in the brand account doesn’t include that section. Ask the account owner to give you access.
Spending actions don’t appear
You didn’t select the Spend permission when connecting. Connect HICARI again from your assistant and select it on the consent page.
Is there a version without signing in?
Yes: https://api.hicari.io/mcp/public responds without an account with public information about HICARI. To work with your brand account, use the connector address from this guide.
