Use Salisan from AI apps (MCP)
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any app that supports MCP, the Model Context Protocol, so it works in Salisan as you, with exactly your access.
Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and other apps that connect to remote MCP servers can work in Salisan for you. A connected app signs in as you and has exactly your access: it sees the patients, records, appointments and tasks you can see, and changes only what your role allows. You manage your apps in Settings › AI apps, which everyone who may use the Agent has.
Turn on AI apps for the practice
AI apps are off until an owner or admin turns them on; it needs the Manage AI credits permission. Everyone else sees a note that owners and admins decide.
- Open Settings › AI apps.
- Under Practice, switch on AI apps for your practice. They are on right away.
If you start connecting an app while AI apps are off, the screen the app opens offers Turn on AI apps as well.
Turning AI apps off asks first, then disconnects every app for everyone in the practice. Members can connect again once it is back on.
Connect an app
- Open Settings › AI apps. Under Which app do you use?, choose your app, or Other apps.
- Under How to connect, choose Copy beside the Server address. For Claude Code, copy the Command instead, and for Cursor the Configuration. The page shows the address for your practice's region.
- Follow the steps shown for your app. In Claude, for example, you open Customize › Connectors, choose Add, then Add custom connector, and paste the address.
- Sign in to Salisan when the app asks. If your practice requires two-factor or single sign-on, sign in that way.
- On the consent screen, read what the app may do. Optional: tick Only let … read, so the app can look things up but not change anything.
- Choose Allow. You return to the app, and it appears under Your connected apps.
What you open in an AI app is sent to that app's provider. Before you choose Allow, check that your practice has the right agreement with that provider. The consent screen reminds you of this.
The consent screen shows the logo of a known app, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Cursor, and where you return after signing in. If it says the app registered itself, Salisan cannot confirm who runs it. Choose Cancel unless you just started connecting it yourself.
What an app can and cannot do
- Your access, nothing more. The app uses your role's permissions. It never sees patients who keep their record away from AI, including patients under 18 unless the practice allows it; see Data and compliance.
- The app asks before changes. Salisan keeps no approval list for AI apps: each app asks you before a change by its own settings. Under Your connected apps, each app says where those settings are, such as Customize › Connectors › Salisan in Claude.
- Changes land as drafts where Salisan uses drafts. Record changes wait until a clinician keeps them. Letters stay drafts until sent, care plans until activated and templates until published.
- Some settings stay in Salisan. Apps cannot change billing, sign-in rules, members and roles, the AI app switches, exports, retention or publishing.
- Practice switches. Owners and admins can switch on AI apps can only read: every app can look things up and answer, but cannot draft, book, send or change anything, whatever members allowed. AI apps can message patients decides whether apps may send emails, forms and home reading requests. It is hidden while apps can only read.
- Every action is recorded. The audit log names the AI app and that it acted for you, so its actions are told apart from Salisan's own Agent. See Access and audit.
An app never makes a clinical decision. Check what it drafts before you sign or send it, as you would with the Agent. For what reaches each provider, see How the AI works.
Disconnect an app
- Open Settings › AI apps.
- Under Your connected apps, choose Disconnect beside the app.
- Confirm with Disconnect. The app loses access right away. To use it again, connect it again from the app.
Each connected app shows Can make changes or Read only, and when it was last used. Owners and admins also see Everyone's connected apps and can disconnect any member's app the same way. Removing a member from the practice also ends their apps' access; see People and access.
A connection is a sign-in, so it also ends on its own:
- when the practice's Sign in again after time has passed since you chose Allow, 24 hours by default; see Practice settings;
- when you change or reset your password, choose Revoke other sessions, remove a passkey or turn off two-factor.
Then connect again from the app. Salisan asks you to sign in and shows the consent screen again.
Your Agent preferences apply in connected apps too; see Agent settings.
