Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI systems to connect to TeamViewer ONE and interact with your IT environment. It provides a standardized way to access data, trigger actions, and automate workflows using natural language. This allows you to reduce manual steps and work more efficiently across systems.

MCP acts as a shared interface between AI tools and enterprise platforms. Instead of creating multiple integrations, it provides a single, consistent connection layer.

This article applies to all TeamViewer paid license holders with access to TeamViewer WebAPI.

Prerequisites

  • Access to an AI system (E.g., Claude or Copilot)
  • Access to a TeamViewer account

Model Context Protocol overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that connects AI models with enterprise tools and APIs.

It enables:

  • Access to real-time data

  • Execution of actions across systems

  • Reusable workflows using structured prompts

MCP provides a consistent interface that allows AI systems to interact with tools without requiring individual integrations.

What the connector can do

After connecting your TeamViewer account, AI systems can help with:

  • Devices: View, add, edit, or remove managed devices and device groups

  • Remote sessions: Start and manage remote control sessions

  • Users and access: View and manage users, roles, and permissions in your TeamViewer company

  • Contacts: View, add, edit, or remove contacts

  • Policies: View and manage TeamViewer, monitoring, and patch management policies

  • Monitoring: View monitoring information for devices

  • Reports and logs: Access connection reports, device reports, and event logs

  • Account and company information: View and update account and company details

  • API tokens: Manage TeamViewer API tokens

The AI systems only perform these actions when you request them. Connecting the app does not allow them to act independently.

How your data is protected

TeamViewer uses OAuth authentication to protect your account information.

  • Your TeamViewer password is never shared with or stored by any of the AI systems

  • You always sign in directly through TeamViewer

  • Claude does not receive your TeamViewer credentials

  • Claude uses a separate authorization token with limited permissions

  • Access tokens are stored securely and only used to complete requested actions

You can connect your TeamViewer account to Claude using the TeamViewer connector. Once connected, Claude can access TeamViewer information and perform actions on your behalf based on the permissions you grant.

The connection uses TeamViewer authentication, and you can review or revoke access at any time. Claude only performs actions when you explicitly ask it to.

  2. Click Customize.

  3. Click Connect your apps.
