ALIS Becomes the First Senior Living Platform to Join Anthropic’s Claude™ as an MCP Connector

Building on the launch of Ask ALIS, the milestone extends ALIS’s open platform strategy, giving operators and care teams direct access to their community and resident data through Claude

CHICAGO, November 12, 2026 — ALIS by Medtelligent, the purpose-built enterprise software platform for assisted living, memory care, and independent living, today announced it has been approved and published as a connector in Anthropic’s Claude™, making it the first senior living platform available in the Claude Connectors Directory. The ALIS MCP Connector gives operators and care teams real-time access to their ALIS community and resident data, surfacing the signals that drive smarter decisions.

The announcement is the latest step in an AI strategy ALIS has pursued with focus and consistency. In September 2025, ALIS introduced Ask ALIS, the senior living industry’s first AI-powered GPT, built natively within the ALIS platform. The MCP connector extends that foundation in a new direction. Where Ask ALIS brings AI to ALIS data inside the platform, the connector brings ALIS data to the AI tools operators already use, with permissions and security intact. 

The connector is built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard developed by Anthropic that allows AI assistants like Claude to connect securely to external applications and data sources. With the ALIS MCP Connector enabled, ALIS users gain real-time, read-only access to community and resident data.

“ALIS has always believed that the best innovations in senior living come from the operators closest to the work,” said John Shafaee, CEO and Co-Founder of ALIS. “When we launched Ask ALIS, we committed to treating AI as a responsibility, not a buzzword. Being available as a connector in Claude is a direct extension of that belief. We want ALIS to be the on-ramp for innovation: the open platform that makes it easier for operators, care teams, and their data to connect with the tools that help them act. This is one more ramp.”

This announcement builds on a year in which ALIS operators demonstrated what becomes possible when senior living data is centralized and accessible. In 2026, communities building on the ALIS platform achieved measurable results across compliance, clinical quality, and occupancy, including a 9.9% increase in care revenue, a 78% reduction in medication issues, and 100% care documentation completion. These outcomes were driven not by ALIS alone, but by operators who built their own AI-powered solutions on top of the platform, from clinical trackers to digital nurses to agentic AI reviewers. 

The ALIS MCP Connector is now live in the Claude Connectors Directory and accessible across Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Claude Mobile, and Claude Code. Access is read-only, permission-bound, and only available to organizations with an active ALIS account with the ALIS MCP Connector enabled. Organizations can contact their ALIS account manager to get started.
