Lodestar by Explorers

Lodestar keeps your company's record of commitments, inside Claude.

Who owes what to whom, by when, and toward which goal. Lodestar shows what is slipping, with a quote and a link back to the email, chat, or record each commitment came from.

How it works

Your Claude reads your tools. Email, chat, calendar, documents, CRM, accounting, and task tools, through the connectors you already use in Claude.
Lodestar records commitments. Each one carries an owner, a counterparty, a due date, a short quote, and a pointer back to the original. Whole emails and chats are never stored.
Lodestar checks the work. It compares what Claude reports against the source and keeps a history that can say what the company knew on any past date.
You ask. Claude answers from the record: what is slipping, what you promised a customer, what each goal depends on.

What you need

A Lodestar account. An owner signs up and invites seats.
A paid Claude plan that can add connectors.
Claude connectors for the apps your company uses, such as email, calendar, CRM, and accounting.

Set up

In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector.
Name it Lodestar and paste this URL:https://mcp.lodestar.explorers.work/mcp
Choose Connect and sign in with the email your account owner invited. Pick your company's organization if asked.
Start a chat and try one of the prompts below.

Try these prompts

"What's slipping this week?": Each overdue or at-risk commitment, its owner, and the evidence.
"What did we promise Acme, and when did the delivery date change?": The commitments to that customer and every due date seen, with the source of each change.
"Record that the Acme renewal is my top priority this month.": Lodestar stores your statement in the record, attributed to you.

What Lodestar stores, and what it doesn't

Lodestar stores commitments with short quotes and links, the statements you ask Claude to record, and files you choose to upload through the desktop extension. It holds no passwords to your other systems, never reads your Claude conversations, and sends nothing outside Claude. Data lives in Google Cloud in Northern Virginia, encrypted in transit and at rest. The Lodestar privacy policy has the details.

Troubleshooting

Claude says it can't reach Lodestar.

Open Claude's connector settings, find Lodestar, and choose Connect again. Sign in with the email your account owner invited. If the error persists, write to support@explorers.work with the time it happened.

Sign-in keeps asking me to choose an organization.

Choose the organization your account owner set up. If none appears, your owner has not invited your email yet. Ask them to add a seat for you.

Lodestar's answers miss things from my email or CRM.

Lodestar learns only from apps your Claude can see. Connect the missing app in Claude's connector settings, then ask Claude to sweep it. Sources appear in Lodestar after the next sweep.

A commitment is wrong.

Tell Claude the correction, for example "Record that the Acme delivery moved to March 3." Your statement outranks anything Lodestar inferred, and the history keeps both.

How do I remove data?

Disconnect the app from Claude, or remove a thread or folder from the desktop extension's allowlist, and Lodestar stops receiving it at once. To erase a person or close the account, write to privacy@explorers.work.
