Tirion in Claude

Plugin

The Tirion plugin for Claude

The plugin adds Tirion's connector to Claude, together with research skills written the way prospect researchers work. Claude cites the public record behind each fact, confirms it has the right person before it researches them, and gives capacity as a range with its reasons.

What it helps with

Prospect research and dossiers
Giving capacity, with the drivers behind the range
Bios and briefings for a meeting, an event or your president
Finding prospects by place, cause or connection
Screening a list of names
Trip and event planning
SEC filings, IRS 990s and property records. Political giving is rolling out, Virginia first
Liquidity events, such as stock sales and acquisitions
Ethical research that follows the Apra Principles of Ethics and Compliance

Install the plugin

Open plugins

In Claude, open Customize → Plugins.
Add Tirion

Find Tirion and install it. It is then also available in your Claude Code sessions.
Sign in

The first time Claude uses Tirion, sign in with your Tirion account.

You need a Tirion account. The plugin's source is public on GitHub.

Connector

Connector only

To add Tirion's data to Claude without the plugin's skills, connect Tirion's MCP server (Model Context Protocol) directly.

Server URL: https://mcp.tiriondata.com/mcp

Open connector settings

Go to Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
Add Tirion

Paste https://mcp.tiriondata.com/mcp.
Sign in

Sign in with your Tirion account. Claude uses OAuth to connect.

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop connects through the mcp-remote bridge with a Tirion API key from console.tiriondata.com. Add this to claude_desktop_config.json and restart Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tirion": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.tiriondata.com/sse",
               "--transport", "sse-only",
               "--header", "Authorization: Bearer ${TIRION_API_KEY}"],
      "env": { "TIRION_API_KEY": "tak_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code uses the same OAuth sign-in as Claude.ai: claude mcp add --transport sse tirion https://mcp.tiriondata.com/sse.

Responses

Evidence stays attached

Every response contains a status and source attribution, and each fact carries its evidence quality. A failed lookup is reported as an error. It is never presented as an empty result.

Lookups count against your plan's quota. See pricing for plan limits.

Privacy & data

Public records, your account

Tirion uses public-record data only. Read our privacy policy for details.

Claude cannot change Tirion's records. Three tools act only in your own Tirion account: create_tirion_report saves a report you open in Tirion, propose_memory saves a note that is used only after you confirm it, and propose_research can request research you asked for.

Tirion cannot see Claude's memory, your chat history or your files.
