# Basecamp MCP: Use Basecamp in Slack and Email

Source: https://maito.app/integrations/basecamp

Connect the Basecamp MCP server to Maito with one sign-in, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “What's still open on the Acme website project?”

Basecamp keeps projects, to-dos, messages and schedules in one place. Connect the Basecamp MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use Basecamp from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

Maito uses Basecamp to do the work and replies where you asked.

## How to connect Basecamp

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Basecamp. You sign in to Basecamp in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Basecamp from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Basecamp isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the Basecamp MCP server URL?

Basecamp publishes it at https://mcp.basecamp.com/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the Basecamp MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect Basecamp?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Basecamp, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect Basecamp before I ask?

No. If a request needs Basecamp and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in Basecamp?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any Basecamp tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Basecamp adds later stay off until you turn them on.
