Other assistants
Claude and ChatGPT are covered on Connect. These assistants also let you add your own MCP server by address:
https://api.pokemcp.com/mcpThere is nothing to sign in to. When a form asks about authentication, choose None; when it asks for a transport, choose Streamable HTTP. If something doesn’t connect, see Troubleshooting.
None of these has been tested with VGC Teambuilder yet. The steps follow each vendor’s own documentation, and the button names may change.
