Connect Claude over MCP.

The Claude connection (MCP) is a feature: it is on in new installations and switched on or off under Administration → Features. Your site then offers an MCP server at /mcp. Claude never runs on the site – it works from the Claude app or Claude Code and connects with the access you approve.

On the Dashboard, Connect Claude is the first of the First steps. Claude → Claude settings shows how to connect with your site's exact address, and lists every Claude connection of the site.

In the Claude app (recommended)

1. In Claude open Settings → Connectors and add a custom connector with the address https://your-site.com/mcp.
2. Claude sends you to your site to sign in and allow access (OAuth). Nothing to copy.
3. Connected apps are listed – and can be disconnected – in My account.

This needs the site on HTTPS. In a subfolder, the Claude app finds the sign-in on its own; for a tool that does not, use a personal token.

In Claude Code

Run the command and confirm access in the browser:

claude mcp add --transport http kaleta https://your-site.com/mcp

Alternatively, create an access token under My account and add --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>".

What the connection may do

When you allow access (or create a token), you choose:

• Drafts only – where a new connection starts: Claude saves drafts and proposals, and a person publishes or applies them;
• Everything the account may – build, edit and publish, never beyond your role;
• Read only – Claude reads and suggests.

A new connection also lists the Essentials – 36 core tools – so every conversation starts lighter; Claude finds the other tools when a task needs them. Choose All tools when you connect or later in My account, where you can also change the access. Claude's sign-in renews itself every hour, and the connection stays signed in while it is used at least once a year.

The details are in What Claude can do on your site.

Instructions and guardrails

In Claude settings write the Instructions for Claude – brand voice, words to use or avoid, house rules – and set the Guardrails for Claude. Every connection gets them; see Claude as your site's operator.

If the site requires two-factor sign-in, the connection works only for accounts that have it switched on.
