# Claude

> Connect TryPost to Claude on the web for AI-powered social media management

[Claude](https://claude.ai) is Anthropic's web app for chatting with Claude. You can connect it to TryPost's MCP server to manage your social media scheduling through conversation — no desktop install required. The same custom connector also works in **Claude Cowork** and on **Claude Desktop** when you use remote connectors (they connect from Anthropic's cloud via your Claude account).

## Prerequisites

* A [Claude](https://claude.ai) account on Free, Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise (custom connectors are available on all of these; Free is limited to one custom connector)
* A TryPost Cloud account with an active trial or subscription ([start a 7-day free trial](/knowledge-base/plans-and-billing))

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Connectors settings">
    Go to **[Customize → Connectors](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors)** (some Claude UIs still say **Settings → Connectors**) and click **+** → **Add custom connector**.

    Free, Pro, and Max use this path. Team and Enterprise Owners add connectors at the org level first — see the accordion below.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the TryPost connector">
    Enter a **name** (for example `TryPost`) and the MCP server URL:

    ```
    https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost
    ```

    Leave **Advanced settings** (OAuth Client ID / Client Secret) empty — TryPost supports Dynamic Client Registration, so Claude registers itself automatically. Click **Add**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize TryPost">
    Complete the OAuth sign-in in the browser. Sign in to TryPost, review the permissions, and click **Allow**. Return to Claude — the connector should show as connected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the connector in a chat">
    Start a new conversation, click **+** (lower left) → **Connectors**, and toggle **TryPost** on for that chat. Then ask:

    ```
    List all my scheduled posts
    ```

    Claude will use the TryPost tools to fetch your posts.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Claude reaches remote MCP servers from Anthropic's cloud, not from your browser or laptop. The hosted URL `https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost` is publicly reachable. Self-hosted instances must be exposed on the public internet (or tunneled) for Claude to connect.
</Note>

<Accordion title="Team and Enterprise plans">
  Only an Owner (or Primary Owner) can add a custom connector to the organization:

  1. Open **[Organization settings → Connectors](https://claude.ai/admin-settings/connectors)**
  2. Click **Add** → **Custom** → **Web**
  3. Paste `https://app.trypost.it/mcp/trypost` (Client ID / Secret optional — leave empty for DCR)
  4. Click **Add**

  Each member then opens **[Customize → Connectors](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors)**, finds the connector labeled **Custom**, and clicks **Connect** to authorize their own TryPost account.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Bearer token via request headers (beta)">
  Claude is rolling out **Request headers** for custom connectors (beta). You can send a Personal Access Token as `Authorization` with the full value `Bearer YOUR_API_KEY` (include the `Bearer ` prefix). Create the key from **Settings > API Keys** on the [TryPost dashboard](https://app.trypost.it). Prefer OAuth for TryPost Cloud when both options work.
</Accordion>
