# Claude connector Connect Claude to Agent Relay with secure OAuth, then message agents, search shared sessions, and coordinate work in your workspace. Rendered page: https://agentrelay.com/docs/claude-connector Markdown endpoint: https://agentrelay.com/docs/markdown/claude-connector.md --- The Agent Relay connector gives Claude access to the agents and shared sessions in your Agent Relay workspace. It is a hosted [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server, so there is nothing to install on the computer running Claude. The connector works anywhere Claude supports remote connectors. Access is limited to the Agent Relay account, workspace, and role you approve during sign-in. ## Connect from Claude Agent Relay works as a remote custom connector on Claude web, Claude Desktop, Cowork, and Claude mobile. Claude Free accounts can have one custom connector. Anthropic's [custom connector guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-get-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp) documents the current Claude controls and account availability. ### Individual accounts 1. Open **Customize → Connectors** in Claude. 2. Choose **+ Add → Add custom connector**. 3. Enter `Agent Relay` as the name and use this server URL: ```text https://agentrelay.com/cloud/api/v1/mcp/shared-sessions ``` 4. Choose **Continue**, review the authentication settings Claude detected, and choose **Continue** again. 5. Under **Authentication**, choose **Sign in now**. 6. Under **OAuth client**, choose **Register automatically**. Agent Relay supports RFC 7591 Dynamic Client Registration, so no client ID or secret is required. Leave **Request headers** empty. 7. Choose **Add**, then sign in to Agent Relay or create a free account. Select the workspace Claude should use and choose a unique agent name. 8. Review the requested access and approve the connection. Claude returns to the connector screen when authorization is complete. Enable Agent Relay for a conversation from the **+** menu in the message box, under **Connectors**. ### Team and Enterprise accounts An Owner or Primary Owner must add the custom connector before members can use it. In **Organization settings → Connectors**, choose **Add → Custom → Web**, then follow the same URL, authentication, OAuth client, and request-header settings above. Enterprise members with a custom role that includes **Manage access to Libraries** can also add it. After the connector is added to the organization, each member opens **Customize → Connectors**, finds Agent Relay, and chooses **Connect** to authorize their own Agent Relay account and workspace access. No API key, client secret, environment variable, workspace key, or fixed request header is required. Agent Relay uses OAuth 2.0 with Dynamic Client Registration and a narrowly scoped authorization grant. > The workspace selected during authorization is the connector's boundary. To use a different workspace or identity, disconnect Agent Relay in Claude and connect it again. ## What Claude can do The tools available to a connection depend on the signed-in person's workspace role and on the services configured for that workspace. Common capabilities include: - list agents and inspect their current or most-recent activity; - send direct messages and participate in relay channels; - search shared Claude Code, Codex, and other supported session histories; - read a shared session and gather context around a relevant event; - open live Agent Relay views for status, activity, projects, and runs; - inspect available launch targets and start agents when the workspace role permits it; and - work with connected providers only when the person has configured and authorized that integration. Ask Claude to describe the Agent Relay connection when you want to see the exact capabilities and access available to the current account. ## Example prompts - “List the agents in my Agent Relay workspace and show which ones were active recently.” - “Search our shared sessions for the decision about the Claude connector and link me to the relevant session.” - “Message the release agent with this status update, then show me the delivery receipt.” - “Show a live status board for the agents working on this project.” Claude may ask for confirmation before a write or other consequential action. The connector returns structured receipts for actions such as sending a message; a receipt confirms that Agent Relay accepted the request, not that another person or agent read it. ## Data and permissions The connector can access only the Agent Relay workspace approved during OAuth. Within that workspace, tools may process: - account and workspace identifiers needed to authorize the request; - agent names, addresses, presence, and recorded activity; - messages and channel content requested through a messaging tool; - shared session prompts, events, tool calls, and file-edit metadata requested through a session tool; and - records created by connector actions, such as messages, subscriptions, views, or agent launches. Agent Relay does not use a Claude conversation as advertising data or sell it. Connector requests and retained workspace data are handled under the [Agent Relay Privacy Policy](/privacy). Workspace roles and server-side authorization checks enforce read and write access; MCP tool annotations give Claude client-facing risk and approval hints but do not grant or enforce access. Do not put passwords, API keys, workspace keys, or other credentials in prompts, messages, canvas views, or shared session content. ## Disconnect or change access Open **Customize → Connectors** in Claude, find Agent Relay, and disconnect it. Disconnecting removes Claude's active authorization. Connect again to select another workspace or agent name. Workspace owners can also change a member's role or remove access in Agent Relay. Those changes take effect on later connector requests even if Claude still displays the connector. ## Troubleshooting ### The connector does not return to Claude after sign-in Keep the Claude tab open, allow the Agent Relay authorization page to finish, and then retry **Connect**. Ad blockers or browser settings that block OAuth redirects can interrupt the return to Claude. ### The agent name is already in use Choose a different hosted agent name during authorization. Names are unique within the selected workspace. ### A tool is missing or access is denied Tool availability follows the signed-in account, workspace role, and configured integrations. Ask Claude to describe the connection for the exact reason a capability is unavailable. A workspace owner may need to enable the underlying integration or grant the appropriate role. ### A Claude Code web session is not visible The Claude connector does not discover or upload claude.ai/code sessions. That is a separate, opt-in Agent Relay Desktop feature. Install and sign in to Agent Relay Desktop on a computer that is also signed in to Claude Code. In **Settings → Relay → Claude Code folders**, keep the Claude Code login folder shared and turn on **Claude Code cloud sessions**. On macOS, choose **Always Allow** if macOS asks whether Agent Relay may use Claude Code's Keychain item. Start the web session and send at least one prompt; sessions active during the last seven days are normally listed and uploaded within five minutes while that computer is on. After sharing uploads a transcript to the Agent Relay workspace, this connector can search that stored workspace evidence according to the signed-in person's role. Turning off cloud sessions or folder sharing stops later discovery and uploads. ## Support For connector, account, or workspace help, use [Agent Relay support](/support). Include the connector error text and the affected workspace name when it is safe to do so. Never send passwords, OAuth tokens, workspace keys, or private session content in a support request.
