Productivity & Project Management
What the Basecamp connector can do
Basecamp organizes projects around to-dos, card tables, and Campfire chat for team collaboration. With Basecamp connected to a type.com Space, a project lead can ask the agent to mark a to-do complete, add a card to a project board, or post an update to a Campfire chat through a chatbot, keeping project status moving without switching tools mid-conversation.
One connection, many Spaces
Connect Basecamp once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Basecamp
Can Claude update Basecamp projects?
Yes. With a Basecamp connection shared to a type.com Space, the agent can complete to-dos, add cards, and post chat updates directly from a thread.
How does type.com sign in to Basecamp?
Basecamp uses OAuth. You sign in once while creating the connection, and an admin then decides which Spaces can use it.
Can project status updates run on a schedule?
Yes. A type.com automation can check Basecamp to-dos on a recurring basis and post overdue items to a channel each morning.
Is this the same as a Basecamp MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
