# RECOG — AI Connector RECOG publishes 41 MCP tools to Claude. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/communication/recog/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Communication](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/communication/) # RECOG Peer recognition posts, appreciation letters and team messaging Listed in Claude · 41 published tools · Community-listed [Claude connector docs](https://www.recog.works/api-docs/public_v1) [recog.works](https://www.recog.works/ja) Overview ## What RECOG does RECOG is a peer recognition platform where colleagues send appreciation letters, post recognition and award badges to each other. The connector brings a RECOG workspace into a conversation, covering sending appreciation, sharing recognition posts and messaging the team. Forty-one tools are published, a wide surface relative to a vendor description of two sentences, so the listing copy gives little sense of what the connector actually spans. The tier is community, meaning CINQSMILE published it without a review step, and documentation is available. A RECOG workspace with colleagues already in it is the prerequisite. ### Who it is for People operations teams running recognition programmes on RECOG. ### Tool surface Forty-one tools sit behind a credential check with a two-line description in front of them, so the surface is both large and undescribed from any outside vantage point. Availability ## Where RECOG is listed RECOG is listed in the Claude connectors directory only. CINQSMILE has no app under the same domain in the ChatGPT directory; 392 of the 3,150 products here are on both marketplaces, and this is not one of them. The MCP server behind a Claude connector is usually the same server a ChatGPT app would need, so the absence is a distribution decision rather than a technical one. Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory RECOG publishes 41 tools to Claude, deeper than 88% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Communication publishes 11, so this one runs 30 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 7th of 29 by tool count. It falls in the 21-50 tools band, which holds 20% of the Claude directory. RECOG publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher CINQSMILE Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Communication Endpoint `https://mcp.recog.works/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://www.recog.works/api-docs/public_v1) Published tools 41 · 21-50 tools band Depth rank in Communication 7 of 29 Snapshot August 2026 RECOG is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How CINQSMILE describes it > RECOG is a peer-recognition platform where teams celebrate each other with appreciation letters, recognition posts, and badges. This connector brings your RECOG workspace into Claude. Quoted from the connector's own Claude directory listing as captured in August 2026. Node8 did not write it and does not vouch for it.
