# Integrating the Patchworks documentation MCP server with Claude

## Introduction

Integrating the Patchworks documentation MCP server with Claude (via your client or Claude Code) is very straightforward. Both approaches are detailed below:

* [Integrating with your Claude client](#integrating-with-your-claude-client)
* [Integrating with Claude Code](#integrating-with-claude-code)

## Need to know

* MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers are a feature that requires a Claude Pro subscription.
* The URL for the Patchworks product documentation MCP server is: `https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/~gitbook/mcp`

## Integrating with your Claude client

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Access Claude connector settings**

Open your Claude client and navigate to `settings` ➤ `connectors`. For example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/M0wrbAEeYG7yw40mBIz7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Add a custom connector**

Select the `add custom connector` button (you may need to scroll down to find it):

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/d1aVZ6umJZ6XfjC0Poq2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Configure your connector**

To configure a Claude connector, you must provide a name and a `remote MCP server URL`:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/B64j0t0riBJxIEYnyuFE" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Complete these details using the guidance below.

<table><thead><tr><th width="223.1015625">Field</th><th>Summary</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Name</td><td>Your preferred name for this connector (for example, <code>Patchworks Docs</code>)</td></tr><tr><td>Remote MCP server URL</td><td>Always set to:<br><code>https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/~gitbook/mcp</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

For example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/ulyo7z6VPBnsQyVH3cti" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Having entered details, click the `add` button to confirm details and add this connector to the list.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Review/update configuration options**

Click the `configure` button associated with your new connector. For example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/3r2AD4GYnzwl3hh42D1u" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Choose how you want Claude to behave when attempting to use this connector. For example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/BShVRQPXMyJF1t9wXBu3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

{% hint style="info" %}
In our example, the always allow option is selected, so requests will be seamless. If preferreed, you can select an alternative option here.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Test the MCP connection**

Start a new Claude chat and ask a Patchworks-related question. For example, *What are the different shapes that I can add to a Patchworks process flow?* The response should indicate that the connector was used - for example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/o3VT5J2w13vzBaZ0fdqF" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Integrating with Claude Code

To add the Patchworks documentation MCP server to Claude Code, launch Claude Code and enter the following command:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
claude mcp add wearepatchworks --transport http https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/~gitbook/mcp
```

{% endcode %}

For example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/1FlDpIv0PEvQ0birSYHk" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
