Add the Zywave MCP as a custom connector, then add skills per chat.
Connection details

1. Connect the Zywave MCP to Claude
- Open connector settings. In Claude, open Settings and find the connectors section, then choose to add a custom connector.
- Paste the Zywave MCP server URL. Use the server URL in the connection details above. Leave the transport at the default; the Zywave MCP speaks streamable HTTP and does not support the older SSE transport.
- Sign in to Zywave and approve the scopes. Claude hands you off to auth.zywave.com to complete the OAuth 2.1 + PKCE sign-in. Approve the scopes listed in the connection details above.
Menu labels move between Claude releases. If you cannot find the connector screen, search settings for “connector”.
Do this once per person, or once per tenant if your admin sets it up. Every other skill in the catalog reuses the same connector.
2. Add COBRA notice packet
Published in the public Zywave/skills marketplace. From a terminal: gh skill install Zywave/skills --all installs every skill there, this one included, into 49+ AI clients. In Claude Desktop or Code, add the marketplace once (/plugin marketplace add Zywave/skills) and install the zywave-skills plugin. See the full install guide for Claude’s exact steps, or open cobra-notice-packet’s skill folder directly.
What it needs from you: A few details from you. You supply the specifics in the prompt, company, state, size, dates.
Details to fill in when you run it:
- Employer, event type, event date, and whether the employer or a TPA administers the plan
3. Paste the example prompt
In a new Claude chat, paste this. Swap the names, states, and numbers for your own.
Put together the COBRA notices for a termination at Ridgeline Manufacturing effective September 30; the employer administers the plan.

Every deadline traces to library text retrieved during the run. Model-notice blanks are listed, never invented.
Check that it worked
If nothing comes back, or the client says it has no tools, paste this instead. You should get a tool list and five real accounts.
