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 Competitive displacement campaign
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 competitive-displacement-campaign’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:
- The competitor’s name and the variants you know, the territory, and a size band
3. Paste the example prompt
In a new Claude chat, paste this. Swap the names, states, and numbers for your own.
Build a displacement campaign against Gallagher's commercial accounts in Wisconsin, 25 to 250 employees, three touches.

Two gates, always. The incumbent is never named, implied, or disparaged in any email. List side live-evaluated Sep 2026 (25 of 25 broker matches). Campaign creation and send have not yet been evaluated in the sandbox.
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.
