# Claude > Add Korala to Claude on the web, desktop or mobile as a custom connector, with sign-in and no API keys. Source: https://docs.korala.ai/ai-agents/claude --- Add Korala to Claude as a custom connector. Setup takes a few minutes and needs no technical knowledge. Custom connectors work on all Claude plans. Screenshots of Claude will be added after the public launch. The steps below follow Claude's current documentation (checked 2026-09-18); menu names can change. You need a Korala account where you are an Owner or Admin. ## Add the connector 1. In Claude, open **Customize → Connectors**. 2. Choose **Add custom connector**. 3. Enter a name, for example `Korala`, and this URL: ```text https://api.korala.ai/mcp ``` 4. Choose **Continue**. Claude checks the address and picks the sign-in options for you. **Sign in now** and **Register automatically** each carry a "Detected" label. Leave them as they are. Korala does not yet support "Use Claude's published identity". ![Claude's "Add custom connector" dialog for Korala. Under Authentication, "Sign in now" is selected and labelled Detected. Under OAuth client, "Register automatically" is selected and labelled Detected.](https://docs.korala.ai/img/ai-agents/claude-connector-detected.png) Anthropic is rolling this two-step dialog out in stages. If you see a single screen, open **Advanced settings** to find the same choices. 5. Choose **Add**. Claude lists Korala and says you are not connected yet. 6. Choose **Connect**. Claude opens Korala's consent page in your browser. ## Approve the connection in Korala 1. Sign in to Korala if the browser asks. 2. Check the assistant name and the host on the consent page. Korala marks both as unverified. Continue only if you started this from your own Claude a moment ago. If a link brought you here, choose **Cancel**. 3. Pick the permissions. Leave **Send and void documents** off for your first try. Claude then prepares drafts and gives you a link to review, and Korala emails nobody. 4. Read the note under the permissions. The connection works with your real documents, and documents Claude creates from templates count against your plan. 5. Choose **Connect**. If you have two-factor authentication turned on, Korala asks you to confirm with your security key, authenticator code or a backup code first. The browser then returns you to Claude. ![Korala's consent page as Claude reaches it: the headline "Connect an AI assistant to Korala?", the line "It calls itself Claude and your approval goes to claude.ai. Korala has not verified either.", four permission checkboxes with sending cleared, a note that it works with real documents, and Cancel and Connect buttons.](https://docs.korala.ai/img/ai-agents/consent-claude.png) The page works the same way on a phone. ![The same consent page on a phone screen, with the four permission checkboxes and the note that it works with real documents in one column. The Cancel and Connect buttons may sit below the fold.](https://docs.korala.ai/img/ai-agents/consent-mobile.png) ## Use Korala in a chat 1. Start a chat. 2. Select the **+** button, open **Connectors** and enable **Korala**. 3. Ask for something, for example: "List my Korala templates." Claude does not pass attachments to connectors. To use a PDF you already have, ask Claude to prepare it for signing: it creates an empty draft and gives you a link to upload the file in Korala, then continues once you say it is there. You can also start in Korala: open a draft and press **Continue with your AI assistant**. Claude can write an agreement itself as a [Markdown template](https://docs.korala.ai/guides/markdown-templates) too. ## Team and Enterprise plans An Owner of your Claude organization adds the connector first, under **Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom**, with the same name and URL. After that, each member opens **Customize → Connectors** and chooses **Connect** next to Korala. Each member signs in to Korala and approves a connection of their own. ## Disconnect Open **Settings → AI Assistants** in Korala and choose **Disconnect** next to the connection. See [Permissions and safety](https://docs.korala.ai/ai-agents/permissions#disconnect-an-assistant). ## Claude Desktop with an API key Most people should use the connector above. Claude Desktop also accepts a desktop extension file, `korala.mcpb`, which connects with a Korala API key and needs no sign-in page. Korala will publish the download link at launch. Once you have the file: 1. Double-click `korala.mcpb`. Claude Desktop opens the install dialog. 2. Enter your API key ID and secret. Create them in Korala under **Settings → API Keys**, and start with a test-mode key. Treat any API key as able to reach live documents; [API key (CI and headless)](https://docs.korala.ai/ai-agents/api-key#setup) explains why. 3. Leave **Let Claude send and void documents** off to start. An API key carries no per-connection permissions, so the choices on the consent page do not apply to it. [API key (CI and headless)](https://docs.korala.ai/ai-agents/api-key) covers the details.
