# Updating Your AI Application After a GovTribe MCP Server Update

When GovTribe releases a new version of our MCP server, it is sometimes required to update your AI application. This allows your AI application to be aware of new capabilities of GovTribe MCP as well as improvements to existing capabilities. 

### Updating Claude

In Claude, new tools are disabled by default. When we add new tools to the GovTribe MCP, you will have to enable them in the connector. To do so:

1. Click on the plus button at the bottom left of the chat box
2. Select **Connectors** -> **Manage Connectors**
3. Select GovTribe MCP
4. Select **Always Allow** the dropdown for both Read-only tools and Write/delete Tools
