USAFacts Claude Connector

Connect USAFacts to Claude to ask questions about US government data right in your conversation.

Why we built this

USAFacts exists to make government data easier to find and understand, and that means showing up where people already are. Increasingly, that’s in a conversation with AI tools.


This connector brings the same nonpartisan data that USAFacts organizes and maintains into Claude, so you can see where each number comes from and judge it yourself. After installing, start a prompt with “use USAFacts”, then try asking a question about inflation, jobs, or wages. Or, use one of our sample prompts.


Free to use. Works in Claude on the web and in the Claude desktop or mobile apps.

Trouble shooting and FAQ

Do I need a Claude account?

Yes. You need a Claude account to install the connector — free or paid both work. On an enterprise plan, your ability to install the connector may be constrained by your organization’s permissions.

How do I make sure Claude is using the USAFacts connector?

Write “use USAFacts” in your question. That helps ensure Claude pulls from the USAFacts-supplied datasets rather than answering from memory or using regular web search.

Is the connector free?

Yes. USAFacts provides the connector for free. You may still need to pay for Claude depending on your own usage.
