Talk through your game with AI.

What is MCP?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It is a way for an AI assistant to use information from another service. Here, it lets your chosen assistant request your saved golf information after you sign in and approve access.

You use the conversation in your AI app; Round to Range supplies the round analysis and practice tools. This is optional, and the website works without an AI connection. You do not need to upload your rounds again to the assistant.

Connect your assistant

You need a Round to Range account and an AI app that supports remote MCP connections with OAuth sign-in. Add and review some rounds first for useful analysis. Availability and any AI subscription costs depend on your provider and workspace.

Copy this entire address, including /mcp, into your AI app’s server URL field. It is a connection endpoint, not a page to open in your browser.

In ChatGPT

Open the Round to Range plugin in ChatGPT and connect your existing account. You do not need to upload your rounds again.

Connect with ChatGPT →

1. Open the plugin using the button above and choose the option to connect.
2. Sign in on roundtorange.com with the account you use for your rounds. Review the requested permissions and approve access if you agree.
3. Return to ChatGPT and start a conversation with Round to Range. Try one of the questions below.

Availability and connection options can vary by ChatGPT account or workspace. If you cannot connect, check your account settings or ask your workspace administrator.

In Claude

Start on Claude on the web or Claude Desktop.

Check your Claude plan first. Anthropic currently lists custom connectors on Free and paid plans. Free accounts are limited to one custom connector; a paid plan is needed to add more. If Add custom connector is greyed out, check whether you already have a custom connector and review your account or workspace restrictions before upgrading. A paid plan is not a universal requirement for this connection.

1. Open Customize → Connectors, select + Add, then Add custom connector.
2. Enter Round to Range as the name and https://roundtorange.com/mcp as the server URL. Choose Continue and wait for Claude to check the server.
3. On the authentication screen, keep Sign in now selected and choose Register automatically under OAuth client. Leave request headers and manual client credentials empty, then select Add.
4. On the Round to Range connector page, select Connect. Sign in on roundtorange.com with the account containing your rounds if prompted, review the requested permissions and choose Allow access. Claude should confirm that you are connected.
5. Start a new conversation, open + → Connectors and check that Round to Range is enabled.
6. Try: “Use the Round to Range connector to list my last five rounds with their dates, courses and scores. Do not save or change anything.” When Claude requests permission to use List recent rounds, select Allow once to run this read-only check.

Team or Enterprise? An owner first adds the server through Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web. Each member then connects individually through Customize → Connectors.

Connected but not answering? Check the conversation’s connector toggle and reconnect if sign-in has expired. Use the remote connector interface for this hosted service; no local configuration file is needed.

Tested end to end on Claude Free on 11 November 2026: connector setup, OAuth sign-in and retrieval of five recent rounds. This test used read-only access; saving or changing practice plans was not tested. See Anthropic’s official custom connector guide for account and workspace requirements.

In Perplexity

Use a Perplexity plan with custom remote connectors. Perplexity lists this feature for Pro, Max and Enterprise subscribers; organisation administrators may restrict it.

1. Open Account settings → Connectors, choose + Custom connector, then select Remote.
2. Enter Round to Range as the name and https://roundtorange.com/mcp as the MCP server URL.
3. Choose OAuth authentication and Streamable HTTP transport. Round to Range supports automatic client registration, so no manually supplied client ID, secret or API key is needed.
4. Read the custom-connector acknowledgement, accept it if you agree, and select Add. Open the connector card to authenticate and enable it.
5. Sign in on roundtorange.com, review the permissions and approve the connection. Then ask Perplexity: “Use Round to Range to explain the patterns in my last five rounds.”

Using an organisation account? Ask your administrator to enable custom connectors. Connect with your own golf account so the assistant uses your rounds.

In Gemini

Check availability first: Google currently limits custom apps to users aged 18 or over in the US, using English and a personal Google Account with Keep Activity enabled. Work and school accounts are not eligible. This feature is not currently available to UK users.

1. On a computer, open Gemini. Choose Settings → Connected Apps. If necessary, open Personal Intelligence first.
2. Under Custom apps, choose the option to add a custom app and enter https://roundtorange.com/mcp.
3. Select Next and follow the sign-in prompts. Round to Range supports automatic client registration; leave manual credentials under Advanced features unused.
4. On roundtorange.com, sign in to your golf account and review the access request before approving it.
5. In a Gemini chat, type @ and select the connected app. Ask: “Review my Round to Range practice results and explain what has improved.”

Add the connection on the web first; Google then makes it available in the Gemini web and mobile apps. If Custom apps is missing, check the eligibility requirements above.

Using another AI app?

Look for its option to add a custom remote MCP server, enter the same address and complete OAuth sign-in. The client must support HTTP MCP and OAuth with dynamic client registration and PKCE. Not every AI app supports this; follow your provider’s connection instructions. Compatibility with every client has not been verified.

Start with a question about your game

For a new session, the assistant should ask about today’s location and available time, suggest suitable drills, and show the complete proposal before asking to save it. Check the plan and confirm the exact results you want recorded.

AI explanations can be wrong. Incomplete imports and estimated strokes-gained allocations are clues to investigate, not proof of a swing fault. Review the underlying rounds and keep uncertainty in the conversation.

Know what you are sharing

• Read access: your profile and handicap, practice preferences, rounds and shots, performance analysis, saved plans and practice history.
• Write access, if requested and approved: save a proposed practice plan, activate or rename an existing plan, and record a confirmed drill result. For these changes, the assistant is instructed to ask for your explicit confirmation before saving.
• Outside this connection: editing your rounds, deleting plans, overwriting existing results, and managing payments or account credentials.

Only the signed-in golfer’s account is available through the connection. Data returned to the assistant is also handled by your AI provider under its own privacy settings and policies. Enter your Round to Range password only on the Round to Range sign-in page, not in a chat.

To stop using the integration, remove or disconnect it in your AI app’s connection settings. This does not remove information already included in past conversations; manage those conversations with your AI provider.
