Connect Contextick to Claude

Claude is the easiest place to start. It works on the free plan, everything happens in Claude's settings, and you'll sign in with Google — there's no API key to copy or config file to edit.

Coming soon: one-click install. Contextick is under review for Claude's official connector directory. Once it's approved, you'll search for Contextick there and add it in one click, and you can skip the steps below. Until then, adding it yourself takes about a minute.

What you'll need

• Any Claude plan — Free, Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise.
• On the free plan you can have one custom connector, so Contextick has to be the one. Paid plans don't have that limit.
• On Team or Enterprise, an owner has to add the connector for the organization — members can't add one themselves.
• A Contextick account. You'll sign in with Google during the connection, so no API key is needed.

Steps

1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors. (On Team or Enterprise, the owner goes to Organization settings → Connectors instead.)
2. Click Add custom connector. (Team and Enterprise owners choose Add → Custom → Web.)
3. Give it a name — Contextick — and paste the Contextick MCP endpoint as the remote server URL: https://contextick.ai/mcp
4. Click Add. Claude opens a Contextick sign-in window — sign in with Google and approve the connection. Leave the OAuth client ID and secret fields empty; Contextick registers itself.
5. You're back in Claude with Contextick listed as a connector. Claude will ask permission the first time it uses each Contextick tool.

Check it worked

Test it in two parts, and make the second part a new chat. If you ask in the same conversation, Claude can answer from what you just said without ever calling Contextick — so a broken connection would still look like it worked.

1. Save something you'd actually want back. At the end of a conversation where you worked something out, say: "Save what we landed on for the kitchen renovation budget to Contextick." Claude asks permission the first time it uses the tool — allow it.
2. Open a new chat and ask: "What did we land on for the kitchen renovation budget?"

If it comes back in the new chat, you're connected — and you've just seen the point of it: you didn't have to explain any of it again. Everything you save is available in any other AI you connect to Contextick.

If it doesn't show up

• You're on the free plan and the connector won't add. Free allows one custom connector. Remove the other one first.
• You're on Team or Enterprise and don't see the option. Only an owner can add connectors for the organization. Once they do, it appears for everyone under Settings → Connectors.
• The sign-in window closed without connecting. Check that pop-ups aren't blocked for claude.ai, then try again.

Official docs

Claude's own guide, which covers connector settings in more detail: About custom connectors (remote MCP). Claude's connector features are still evolving, so if a screen here doesn't match what you see, their docs are the place to check.
