# Claude Desktop

> Connect Claude Desktop to Chiplab as a custom connector and authenticate.

## 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add Chiplab as a custom connector">
    Open **Settings** → **Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.
    Enter `Chiplab` as the name and the server URL:

    ```text theme={null}
    https://chiplab.veecle.ai/mcp
    ```

    Leave the advanced OAuth fields blank; Chiplab handles client registration automatically.
    Click **Add**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect and authenticate">
    Click **Connect** on the new Chiplab connector.
    Claude opens a browser window to complete OAuth sign-in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

<Note>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**.</Note>
