Digital Humani MCP with Claude: Automate Tree-Planting Requests and Impact Tracking
The short answer
Claude works with Digital Humani through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a secure connection that lets Claude browse planting projects, submit tree-planting requests, check request status and track planted trees. Your team stays in control of which actions Claude can take and what needs approval.
What is Digital Humani?
Digital Humani is a reforestation API that gives businesses access to tree-planting projects. Teams use it to browse projects, request trees to be planted and follow the results. It is typically used by sustainability, marketing, product and customer experience teams that want to link climate action to their products, campaigns and customer journeys.
How Claude connects to Digital Humani through MCP
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets Claude use other software securely. Think of it as a universal adapter between Claude and a tool. Once connected, Claude can work with Digital Humani in plain English, without your staff needing to write code for each request.
Once connected, Claude can typically browse available planting projects, submit tree-planting requests, check the status of existing requests and review how many trees have been planted. Your team can ask questions such as which projects are active this month or what has been planted for a particular campaign.
Permissions and approvals keep people in charge. Access is set up with the least privileges needed, using the API key that Digital Humani supports. Consequential actions, such as submitting a large planting request, can be routed to a named person for approval, and every action is recorded in an audit log.
What you can automate
Campaign-linked tree planting
A marketing team launches a seasonal campaign and wants each purchase to fund trees. Claude can look up suitable planting projects, draft the request for a set number of trees and pass it to a manager for approval before submission. The team then receives a summary of trees planted for the campaign report.
Sustainability reporting
A sustainability lead preparing an annual report needs verified figures. Claude can pull the status of all tree requests and planted-tree totals across the year, group them by project or region, and draft a clear summary table that the lead can check and publish.
Customer service answers
Customers often ask whether their order has contributed to planting. A support agent using Claude can check the relevant request status and planted-tree count, then reply with an accurate, plain-English update. This reduces wait times and repeated queries to the sustainability team.
Product and loyalty features
A product team wants to offer a tree-planting option at checkout or reward loyal members with trees. Claude can help test how requests are created and tracked, monitor the results and flag any requests that have stalled, so the product team can fix issues quickly.
Monthly impact reviews
Operations managers often spend hours gathering figures for leadership. Claude can compile the month's requests, statuses and planted totals into a short brief, highlighting changes from the previous month and any requests that need follow-up.
An end-to-end workflow: Order-linked planting with a monthly impact report
TriggerA customer completes a qualifying order in the online shop, or the month-end reporting date arrives.
Claude receives the order details from the e-commerce system and checks the agreed tree count for that product.
Claude browses Digital Humani for an active planting project that matches the company's chosen region and criteria.
The planting request is drafted and sent to a team member for approval, which keeps spending and commitments under human control.
After approval, Claude submits the request and records the request reference in the CRM against the customer's order.
At month end, Claude checks the status of all requests, totals the trees planted and posts a summary to the team's Microsoft 365 workspace.
OutcomeEach qualifying order is linked to a tracked planting request, customers can receive accurate updates, and leadership gets a monthly impact report produced in minutes rather than days.
How we set it up
Free automation audit
We review your current sustainability, marketing and customer workflows to identify where tree-planting requests and tracking would save time or add value. There is no charge for this session.
Secure connection
We connect Claude to Digital Humani using the API key method that the tool supports, or through the direct API where that suits your setup. Access is limited to the actions your workflow needs.
Workflow design
We design the end-to-end process across Digital Humani and your other systems, such as Microsoft 365, CRM, ERP or ticketing. We agree which steps need human approval before anything is submitted.
Testing and launch
We test the workflow against past cases and sample requests, then launch with monitoring and audit logs so you can see every action Claude takes.
Team training
We train your staff on how to use Claude with Digital Humani, what to check and how to handle exceptions, so the team can run and adjust the workflow confidently.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Digital Humani MCP server do?
The Digital Humani MCP server acts as a secure bridge between Claude and the Digital Humani reforestation API. It allows Claude to browse planting projects, submit tree-planting requests, check request status and track planted trees, using natural language. It is set up so that only the actions your workflow needs are available.
Is connecting Claude to Digital Humani secure?
Security depends on how the connection is set up. We use the API key sign-in method that Digital Humani supports, limit access to the minimum needed, require human approval for important actions and keep audit logs of all activity. We also test the setup before launch. No connection can be promised as risk-free, but these controls reduce risk.
What can Claude do with Digital Humani once connected?
Typically, Claude can search for planting projects, draft and submit tree-planting requests, check whether requests are in progress or complete, and report how many trees have been planted. You can ask for these things in ordinary language, and Claude can combine them with information from your other business systems.
How long does setup take?
The timeline depends on how many systems are involved and how complex the approval steps are. A simple connection with one workflow can often be set up in a few weeks, including testing and team training. More complex, multi-system workflows usually take longer. We confirm the timeline during the free automation audit.
What account or permissions are needed?
Generally, you need an active Digital Humani account with an API key that allows the actions your workflow requires, along with an agreed Claude setup for your organisation. The exact permissions depend on your Digital Humani arrangement and the workflow design, and we confirm them during the audit.
