Connect your WeMush account to Claude AI for intelligent mycology research assistance. The WeMush Claude Connector enables Claude to access your research projects, specimens, and cultivation data to provide personalized insights and recommendations.
The WeMush Claude Connector uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to securely connect your WeMush account with Claude AI. Once connected, Claude can:
Before connecting WeMush to Claude, you need:

The connector includes five pre-built prompts for common workflows:
"Use the analyze_cultivation prompt for my grain spawn jar"
Claude will fetch your specimen details, recent observations, and strain information to provide a comprehensive analysis with recommendations.
"Give me an overview of the Substrate Colonization Study"
Get a summary of any research project including participation statistics, key findings, and how to contribute.
"Compare Blue Oyster and Italian Oyster strains"
Claude will present a structured comparison of cultivation requirements, expected yields, and difficulty levels.
"Help me troubleshoot green contamination on my grain spawn"
Get diagnostic assistance for common cultivation problems with actionable solutions.
"Summarize my research activity this month"
View a summary of your contributions, observations, and project participation.
The connector provides access to three resources:
| Resource | Description |
|---|---|
| Cultivation Guide | Best practices for mushroom cultivation |
| Research Glossary | Definitions of mycology and research terms |
| My Research Profile | Your profile, enrollments, and statistics |
Research analytics use k=5 anonymity, meaning data is only shown when at least 5 participants share similar characteristics. This protects individual privacy while enabling meaningful research insights.
Claude can only access data within the scopes you explicitly approve during authorization. You control what data is shared.
All data access through the connector is logged for security auditing. You can review access logs in your WeMush account settings.
You: "What mycology research projects can I join?"
Claude: Uses list_research_projects to find recruiting projects, then describes options and can enroll you with enroll_in_project.
You: "My grain jar is 75% colonized, can you record that?"
Claude: Uses list_my_specimens to find your grain spawn, then record_specimen_observation to log the colonization progress.
You: "What temperature should I fruit my Blue Oyster block at?"
Claude: Uses search_strains and get_strain_details to find optimal fruiting conditions for Blue Oyster mushrooms.
