# Connecting Etropo to Claude

![Etropo for Claude. Claude answers the question "Which categories have the largest planned amounts this year?" with a table of categories and planned amounts from Etropo](https://docs.etropo.com/images/integrations/claude/talk-to-your-budget.webp)

With the official Etropo plugin for Claude, you can ask Claude about your marketing budget and update it in conversation. Claude sees what your Etropo account can see, and it writes changes back to your budget.

- [Install in Claude](https://claude.ai/directory/etropo)

## Before You Start

- The **admin** role in the organization you want to connect
- A Pro or Custom plan. See [pricing](https://www.etropo.com/pricing)
- If you use [two-factor authentication](https://docs.etropo.com/getting-started/two-factor-authentication), your code. Etropo asks for it before the approval screen
