Sign in to MixShift
Once the plugin is installed, you sign in once and the plugin keeps your session fresh from then on. The whole flow takes about 30 seconds.
Sign in from a chat
- Open any chat and say "sign in to mixshift" (or just "welcome" if you are brand new).
- Claude asks for your work email, then opens the MixShift sign-in page in a browser tab.
- Sign in with your MixShift email and password. Your credentials stay on the sign-in page; the plugin never sees them.
- Return to the chat and say "done".
Claude confirms the sign-in and shows the brands you have access to.
Try it
- "What brands do I have access to?"
- "Show me last week's ad spend for [your brand]."
- "Explore my data."
If Claude returns your brands and data, you are set.
Good to know
- Sign-in uses short-lived tokens that refresh automatically. There are no database passwords to manage and no IP allowlists to set up.
- To switch accounts, just sign in again with the other email.
- Everyone at your MixShift org sees the same brands once signed in. Per-user data scoping is not available today.
- In a terminal,
mixshift auth logindoes the same thing for CLI users.
Signing in from other tools
Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, and claude.ai connectors reach MixShift through the MCP server rather than the plugin. See Connect AI tools over MCP.
Unattended and scheduled work
Anything that runs with nobody at the keyboard (scheduled tasks, automations, CI) uses a service credential instead of a personal sign-in. See Run unattended and scheduled tasks.
