Integration details
Description
Needle monitors Reddit, Hacker News, forums and other communities for posts from people who need a product like yours, scores each post for buying intent, and saves the best ones as leads. This connector brings your Needle account into Claude. What you can do: - Ask who to reply to today: get_leads returns your actionable leads (hot leads and posts worth engaging) still in your inbox, newest first, with filters for brand, intent (looking for a tool, pain, switching, question), network and date. - Read a lead in full with get_lead, including the evidence sentence behind its score. - Draft replies in your brand voice with draft_reply. You get a best and an alternate draft. Needle never posts for you: drafts are text for you to review and post yourself. - Mark leads as replied, done or dismissed with update_lead_status (changes Needle's triage state only). - Run a live search for new keywords with search and get_search. - Explore trending problems across communities for content ideas, and check your remaining quota with get_usage. Requirements: a Needle account on the Growth or Scale plan (new accounts get a 7-day trial). You sign in with your Needle account; no API key is needed. Tool calls count against the plan's monthly API calls, and searches and reply drafts use the same daily limits as the Needle dashboard. You can disconnect Claude at any time in Needle under Settings, API & MCP, Connected apps.
