Follow these simple tests to make sure everything is working correctly.
Open Claude Desktop and type:
Can you connect to Unanet?
✅ Good Response:
"Yes, I can connect to Unanet. I have access to tools for managing projects, timesheets, contacts, and financial data. How can I help you with Unanet today?"
❌ Bad Response:
"I don't have access to Unanet" or any error message
Type in Claude:
Show me my active Unanet projects
✅ Good Response:
Claude lists actual projects with:
- Project names
- Project IDs
- Status information
- Budget details
❌ Bad Response:
"I cannot access project data" or error messages
If Test 2 worked, pick a project ID and type:
Get details for project [YOUR-PROJECT-ID]
✅ Good Response:
Detailed information about that specific project
❌ Bad Response:
Error or "project not found" (unless the ID is wrong)
Try these commands to test each major feature:
- "List all my projects"
- "Show me projects with status Active"
- "What's the budget for project XYZ?"
- "Show my timesheets from last week"
- "How many hours did I log this month?"
- "Show me contacts from ABC Company"
- "List recent opportunities"
- "What's the billing status for project ABC?"
- "Show me a project profitability summary"
These help ensure the connection is fast:
-
Speed Test
- Ask: "List 10 projects"
- Should respond within 5-10 seconds
-
Data Test
- Ask: "Show me project ABC123 with full details"
- Should show complete information
If all tests pass, you're ready to use Unanet with Claude!
- Projects work but timesheets don't: Check timesheet permissions in Unanet
- Can list but not update: Check API write permissions
- Everything is slow: Check internet connection
- Check the Troubleshooting Guide
- Verify credentials in both .env and Claude config
- Make sure you restarted Claude Desktop

- Start simple - Don't try complex queries until basic ones work
- Note exact errors - Screenshot or copy error messages
- Test during business hours - Some systems have maintenance windows
- Try variations - If "show projects" fails, try "list my projects"
Once testing passes:
- Review the Usage Examples
- Set up your common queries
- Share with your team!
Remember: It's normal for setup to need tweaking. Don't get discouraged if the first test fails!
