Use VeteransHelp.org inside your AI assistant

A connector is an add-on that lets your AI assistant look things up on this site. Add it once. After that, just say what you need. The assistant gets our step-by-step paths, our checked facts with VA's own wording, and how to reach free accredited help.

How to add it

• In your assistant, add a custom connector with this address: https://veteranshelp.org/mcp
• In Claude this works on free and paid plans. Claude's help page has the steps.
• It is not yet listed in any assistant's directory of connectors. When it is, this page will say so.

Then ask in your own words, for example:

• “Help me file my first VA disability claim. Which step am I on?”
• “What does VA say about burial benefits?”
• “Who can help me with my claim for free in Texas?”

What it gives your assistant

• An overview. What we cover, how each fact is sourced, and what is left to a VA-accredited representative: judgments about your own claim.
• Step-by-step paths. Each step has the official wording, the official tool for that step, questions to take to a representative, and what an assistant can do with you at that step.
• Checked facts. Each fact comes with the exact official sentence and a link. Items that are not yet final are labeled. Facts we are re-checking are left out.
• Accredited help. VA's search for accredited representatives and your state or territory's Veterans agency.

What our content does not cover

Our content does not say whether you qualify, what rating to expect, whether your evidence is enough, or which review to choose. Those are judgments about your own claim. A VA-accredited representative can make them with you, and help from an accredited Veterans Service Organization representative is free. See free help and avoiding scams.

AI assistants can make mistakes. Check anything important on the official page that comes with each fact.

Privacy

• Each tool accepts only a choice from a fixed list: which path, which benefit topic, or which state or territory. Anything else sent to a tool is refused.
• We do not store or log those choices, and we do not ask who you are. As with every page on this site, Cloudflare (our host) processes standard request logs, which include the address requested and the internet address the request comes from. We use that internet address to limit abuse.
• What you type or upload in your assistant goes to the company that runs that assistant, under its terms. It does not come to VeteransHelp.org or to VA. You can cover your Social Security number and other ID numbers before you share a document with it.

The rest of our privacy page applies too.
