# Claude desktop and web

> Add IndexZero as a custom connector in Claude's settings.

Source: https://docs.indexzero.site/agents/claude



Claude's desktop app and claude.ai connect to remote MCP servers through **Connectors**. IndexZero supports the OAuth flow they expect, so you paste one URL and approve in the browser.

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### Open connector settings [#open-connector-settings]

    In Claude, open **Settings**, then **Connectors**, then **Add custom connector**.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Paste the endpoint [#paste-the-endpoint]

    ```
    https://app.indexzero.site/mcp
    ```

    Give it a name such as "IndexZero". No client id or secret is needed: the server supports dynamic client registration.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Approve [#approve]

    Claude opens app.indexzero.site. Sign in if needed and approve the connection. The consent screen lists the scopes requested.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Enable it in a conversation [#enable-it-in-a-conversation]

    Connectors can be toggled per conversation from the tools menu in the composer. Turn IndexZero on and ask Claude to list your projects.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Callout>
  Connectors are tied to your Claude account, and the IndexZero workspace they reach is the one you approved with. Approving again from a different IndexZero account switches which workspace the connector uses.

## Working in Claude [#working-in-claude]

A few patterns that work well once connected:

* Start with a project. "Which of my IndexZero projects is for acme.com?" resolves the `projectId` every other tool needs.
* Ask for a plan before spending. "Estimate what a rank check on the acme tracker would cost" is free; Claude will call `estimate_rank_tracker_cost` and report the number.
* Prefer measured data for your own site. "What are my striking-distance queries in Search Console?" is free and more accurate than a paid estimate.
