Claude connectors: what they are, and the ones worth adding
Educational guide · updated June 2026.
The short answer
What are Claude connectors?
Claude connectors are apps and services Claude can use directly inside a chat: searching your files, reading your calendar, updating your project tracker, or publishing a page you built. You add them in claude.ai under Customize → Connectors, authorize each one with OAuth, and Claude’s answers start drawing on your real tools.
Under the hood, a connector is a remote MCP server that claude.ai hosts the connection to. Working in Claude Code instead? The same ecosystem is available there: see Claude MCP servers.
2-minute setup
How to add a connector (3 steps)
Open Customize → Connectors
In claude.ai, open Customize → Connectors. This is where every connector, from the directory or custom, is added and managed.
Enable one, or paste a URL
Pick a connector from the directory, or choose “Add custom connector” and paste the server URL. Custom connectors work on every Claude plan (Free includes one).
Authorize with OAuth
Sign in to the service when prompted. The connector’s tools then appear in new chats, and you can toggle them per conversation.

Claude connectors: FAQ
Claude connectors are apps and services Claude can use directly inside a chat: searching your files, reading your calendar, updating your project tracker, or publishing a page you built. You add them in claude.ai under Customize → Connectors and authorize each one with a one-time OAuth sign-in.
Adding a connector costs nothing by itself, and custom connectors work on every Claude plan (Free includes one). The service behind a connector keeps its own pricing. For example, Pagelive is free for 2 public pages, with Solo at $15/mo.
Open Customize → Connectors in claude.ai, then enable a connector from the directory or choose “Add custom connector” and paste its URL (Pagelive’s is app.pagelive.io/api/mcp). Authorize with a one-time OAuth sign-in and the tools appear in new chats.
Connectors authenticate with OAuth, so each one gets scoped access to that service only, and you can disconnect it any time in Customize → Connectors. Only add connectors from developers you trust (a connector can read whatever data you authorize), and review what each tool does before approving actions.
