Connect to Claude
Last updated:
Palette connects to Claude through MCP. Once the connector is enabled for a conversation, Claude can search, list, and read the Palette OS material available to you on demand.
Two ways to set it up, depending on how you use Claude.
Claude
Claude supports custom connectors backed by remote MCP servers. The setup flow depends on your plan: individual users can add a connector from Customize, while Team and Enterprise owners may need to add it for their organization first.
Setup:
- Open Claude.ai. In the left sidebar, click Customize.
- Click Connectors.
- Click the + button in the top-right of the Connectors panel, then select Add custom connector.
- Fill in the form: Name: Palette URL:
https://api.palette.team/mcp. Click Add. - You'll be redirected to sign in via WorkOS (same login you use for Palette). Authorize the connection.
- In a conversation, use the + menu to enable Palette under Connectors.
See Anthropic's custom connector guide for plan-specific administration and current UI details.
What Claude can do once connected:
- Search, list, and read Context Library pages permitted for you
- Read when a generated page was last refreshed
- Use other Palette OS capabilities enabled for your organization and account
Claude Code (CLI)
For developers using Claude Code in the terminal.
Setup:
- In your terminal, run:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user palette https://api.palette.team/mcp
- Open Claude Code and run
/mcp. - Choose Palette and complete the OAuth sign-in in your browser.
Claude Code can now use Palette on demand. It receives the same permission-scoped Palette OS access as the signed-in person.
