Claude Desktop connects to PingOne through the CData MCP Server for PingOne using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

When you launch Claude, it automatically detects MCP connections registered during setup. These connections are created and saved using the MCP Configuration Tool, which is installed with the MCP Server.

Each saved connection is recognized by Claude and can be referenced by name when asking questions.

Installing Claude

Claude Desktop is a standalone application that enables natural language querying across supported data sources using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

To connect to PingOne via MCP, you first need to install the Claude Desktop application.

You can download the latest version from the official Claude Download Page.

After installing Claude Desktop, you can configure your MCP connection using the CData MCP Driver for PingOne.

How Claude Uses the Server

When you ask Claude a question, it launches the corresponding MCP Server connection, reads the available tool descriptions provided by the connector, and generates a secure query in the background.

There is no need to write SQL or teach Claude how to query your data. Each tool is self-describing, and Claude consumes those descriptions to determine how to retrieve the right information.

Example Prompts

After setup, you can ask Claude natural-language questions like:

• "List all users who have not logged in during the past 30 days."
• "Show me all users created in the last 7 days."
• "List failed login attempts in the last 24 hours."
• "Show authentication events filtered by application and location."
• "What applications are currently registered in PingOne?"
• "Are there any applications that have not been used in the last 60 days?"
• "Who has administrator access in our PingOne environment?"
• "Which users have been locked out recently?"
• "Show me users with custom roles outside the standard profile."
• "List all groups and the number of users in each."

Claude securely executes the query using the MCP Server and responds using the live results from PingOne.
