How to set up a web connector

You can connect a cloud service to Claude in a few steps. Step one: find the connector. Go to claude dot ai slash directory or click "Search and tools" in the lower left corner of the chat, then select "Add connectors." Step two: click "Connect." Select the desired connector. Step three: authenticate. You will be redirected to the service's sign-in page. Log in with your existing credentials. Step four: grant permissions. Review the specific permissions Claude is requesting, then authorize access. Step five: test the connection. Return to Claude and try a simple request, such as: "Can you access my Google Drive?" Once connected, Claude can search, read, and in some cases perform actions in that service, depending on the permissions granted. Practical examples: for project management — "What are my top priority tasks this week?" For communications — "Find the email where we discussed the vendor contract." For documentation — "What does our style guide say about using abbreviations?"
