# Connect Claude to Palette OS through MCP

> Connect Claude and Claude Code to Palette OS through MCP so they can search, list, and read permitted Context Library pages and capabilities on demand.

Palette connects to Claude through [MCP](/docs/os/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:**

1. Open [Claude.ai](https://claude.ai). In the left sidebar, click **Customize**.
2. Click **Connectors**.
3. Click the **+** button in the top-right of the Connectors panel, then select **Add custom connector**.
4. Fill in the form: **Name:** Palette **URL:** `https://api.palette.team/mcp`. Click **Add**.
5. You'll be redirected to sign in via WorkOS (same login you use for Palette). Authorize the connection.
6. In a conversation, use the **+** menu to enable Palette under **Connectors**.

See [Anthropic's custom connector guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-get-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp) 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:**

1. In your terminal, run:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user palette https://api.palette.team/mcp
```

2. Open Claude Code and run `/mcp`.
3. 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.
