Add FactIQ to Claude

Set up

For the best experience, use Cowork. Basic FactIQ questions also work in Claude Chat, but advanced reports and local visualizations work best in Cowork.On a Claude Team plan, any member can install FactIQ as a custom plugin. If installation is blocked, see Troubleshooting below for the settings an Owner needs to change.

1. 1

   Open Plugins

   In Claude, open Customize in the left sidebar, choose Plugins, then click the plus button to add a custom plugin.

2. 2

   Add the FactIQ marketplace

   Select Add marketplace, then Add from a repository, and paste the repository:

   defog-ai/factiq-plugin

   Copy
3. 3

   Install FactIQ

   Open the new factiq marketplace, select the FactIQ plugin, and click Install.

4. 4

   Connect FactIQ and start a new chat

   Click Connect when Claude prompts you, complete the FactIQ sign-in, then start a new chat. If no prompt appears, open Customize → Plugins → FactIQ → Connectors → FactIQ → Connect.Access, security & privacyOAuth grants read-only factiq:read access. No API key is required, and FactIQ cannot modify your systems. Queries and responses are operationally logged by FactIQ. See the privacy policy and data-deletion page.

5. 5

   Verify the installation

   Confirm FactIQ shows as installed under Customize → Plugins and its connector shows as connected under Customize → Connectors. Ask a test question and confirm Claude invokes FactIQ and returns sourced data.

Update or remove FactIQ

Try it

Ask an economic or financial question normally — Claude selects the FactIQ skill automatically. Type /factiq to choose it explicitly.

• What's the US unemployment rate, charted over the last 10 years?
• Compare US and China CPI inflation year-over-year for the last five years.
• Plot the US 10-year Treasury yield, monthly, since 2020.

Troubleshooting

Plugins or Cowork are unavailable

Plugins require a paid plan. On Team and Enterprise, ask an Owner or Primary Owner to turn on Cowork under Organization settings → Capabilities, then turn on Code execution and file creation and Skills under Organization settings → Skills.If custom plugin installation is still restricted, the Owner can add defog-ai/factiq-plugin as a GitHub plugin source under Organization settings → Plugins. The FactIQ plugin is open source; review its source code on GitHub.

Marketplace does not appear

Confirm the repository is exactly defog-ai/factiq-plugin. Organization policy can block custom plugin sources.

OAuth gets stuck

Sign in to FactIQ in the same browser, then re-run Connect. You can also remove and re-add the connector from Claude settings.

Tools missing in chat

Start a fresh conversation after installation. Type /factiq to select FactIQ explicitly, or open Connectors in the composer and confirm FactIQ is enabled.

Claude Code is separate

Plugins installed in Claude don't appear in Claude Code — it has its own install path. See the Claude Code guide.
