Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop installed and signed in to your Claude account.

​
Connect Chiplab

Claude Desktop connects to remote MCP servers through Connectors, not through a config file.
1

Add Chiplab as a custom connector

Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector. Enter Chiplab as the name and the server URL:
Leave the advanced OAuth fields blank; Chiplab handles client registration automatically. Click Add.
2

Connect and authenticate

Click Connect on the new Chiplab connector. Claude opens a browser window to complete OAuth sign-in.
3

Enable it in a conversation

In the chat composer, click + → Connectors and toggle Chiplab on. Claude can now upload firmware and run simulations for you.
Don’t add Chiplab to claude_desktop_config.json; that file only supports local (stdio) MCP servers, and a remote URL there silently won’t connect. Use the Connectors UI above.
On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner must first add the connector in the organization’s admin settings; members then enable it under Settings → Connectors.
