# Connect Claude

Claude connects to Spooly through a custom connector. You enter the address, sign in to Spooly and decide whether Claude may also change things.

Address:

```
https://spooly.eu/api/mcp
```

## With Pro or Max

1. Open “Customize” in Claude, then “Connectors”.
2. Click “+ Add”, then “Add custom connector”.
3. Enter a name, for example Spooly, enter the address and click “Continue”.
4. Claude shows the sign-in settings it detected. Review them and click “Continue”.
5. Under “Authentication”, choose how you connect: “Sign in now”, “Sign in when needed” or “No sign in”. For sign-in with a click, take one of the first two. “No sign in” only fits the way with a key further down.
6. Under “OAuth client”, “Use Claude’s published identity (Recommended)” stays selected, which is how Spooly recognizes Claude.
7. Finish by clicking “Add”.
8. Claude sends you to Spooly. Sign in and look at what Claude may read. “Also allow changes” is preselected for Claude. Click “Allow”.
9. In a conversation, you turn Spooly on through “+” and “Connectors”.

Menu names follow Anthropic’s help article, linked below.

## With Free, Team or Enterprise

- With Free, only one custom connector works per Anthropic. Ultra is also among the plans with custom connectors per Anthropic.
- On Team, an Owner or Primary Owner adds the connector for the organization. On Enterprise, an Owner, a Primary Owner or someone with a custom role that includes “Manage access to Libraries” does. The path: “Organization settings”, “Connectors”, “Add”, then “Web” under “Custom”. After that, everyone connects on their own under “Customize” and “Connectors” with “Connect” and signs in with their own Spooly account.
- Per Anthropic you can set it up in Claude in the browser, in Claude Desktop and in Cowork. Claude reaches Spooly from Anthropic’s cloud, not from your device.

## With a key instead of sign-in

Instead of the sign-in, Claude can send a fixed header with every request. Create a key of type AI assistant in Spooly and enter it in the connector under “Request headers”. Whether Claude may change anything is then decided by “May also change” on the key.

Request header:

```
Authorization: Bearer spk_dein_schluessel
```

## Afterwards

The connection is listed in Spooly under Settings, Devices & keys. There you see every change and can revoke the connection again.

Try “What needs my attention today?” first. The tool `get_attention` covers it.
