Connect your AI

Claude.ai

Connect Claude in your browser to a persistent library of your projects, ideas and source notes. Claude can search what you already know, reason from the actual pages and save the useful result for another conversation.

Add MindWiki

  1. Open Customize → Connectors in Claude and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it MindWiki and enter https://api.mindwiki.io/mcp as the server URL.
  3. Keep browser sign-in enabled. If asked how to register the client, use automatic registration; you do not need to invent a client ID or secret.
  4. Connect and complete MindWiki's authorization page.
  5. Enable MindWiki from the conversation's connector/tool controls before asking Claude to use your vault.

On a managed team, an owner may need to add the connector for the organization first. If your app still labels the connector area Settings → Connectors, use that entry point.

Complete the MindWiki connection

On MindWiki's authorization page, MindWiki Email + Access Key is the recommended sign-in method. Existing email-and-password accounts can choose Legacy Sign In; Sign in with Apple remains available. All methods open the same account and vault—no replacement account is required. New users choose Create a new vault, save their generated access key and continue. Review the requested permissions and choose read-only access when that is all you need. Access Keys explains the supported methods.

Return to your agent after approving. Your sign-in key belongs on MindWiki's pages, not in chat or an MCP configuration file. The client handles its own OAuth credentials.

Check that it works

Ask your agent:

text
Use MindWiki to read my account status, then search for a note about one of my projects. Read a matching page and cite its title and path. Tell me if the vault is empty rather than making up a result.

Inspect the tool result and compare it with a page in MindWiki Cloud. For a new vault, the agent can read the operating guide and initialize the starter pages when account status permits it.

To check saving after granting write or capture access, ask “Save a new MindWiki capture titled Connection check with today's date, then read it back and give me its path.” The same file is available in your MindWiki apps.

Try Claude with your knowledge

  • Research synthesis: “Compare what my research notes say about onboarding. Cite the sources and separate open questions from conclusions.”
  • A writing partner with context: “Read the project brief and audience notes in MindWiki before drafting this article.”
  • A decision record: “Save the decision we just made, its rationale and the alternatives we rejected.”

For ongoing work, ask Claude to read a relevant context pack and leave a concise handoff at the end. Connect Claude Code to the same account when you are ready to implement an idea.

If something is missing

If MindWiki is connected but no tools appear, enable it in the current chat and start a fresh conversation if necessary. If a write fails, check the grant and your vault permissions rather than repeatedly asking Claude to try again. Reconnect through the connector controls if authentication expires.

Permissions and disconnecting

Available tools depend on the scopes you approved, your MindWiki plan and vault permissions, and the tools your client exposes. Free includes one external AI connection with core vault tools. See MCP tool access.

To disconnect just this client, revoke its grant in MindWiki Connections. Other agents keep their own connections. Never send access keys or OAuth tokens to support.
