Claude.ai / Claude Desktop
Connect OrbitOrca to Claude.ai and Claude Desktop as a custom connector over OAuth.
Claude.ai and Claude Desktop add remote MCP servers as custom connectors, which authenticate over OAuth — you click Connect, approve OrbitOrca on a consent screen, and Claude holds the connection. There's no config file and no token to paste.
Add the connector
In Claude's connector settings, add a custom connector pointing at:
https://api.orbitorca.com/mcpApprove the connection
Claude sends you to an OrbitOrca consent screen that names the connecting app and asks you to grant access:
- Read is always granted — the agent can view your resources. It's required to connect.
- Write is optional — grant it to let the agent create, deploy, and modify your apps and set up integrations. Leave it off for read-only.
Approve only if you started this from Claude — the connection acts as you. The request expires about 10 minutes after it starts.
Try it
Ask Claude to "list my OrbitOrca apps". If it comes back with your apps, you're connected.
The connection shows up in your dashboard token list as an app, alongside any personal access tokens. Revoke it there the same way — see Tokens.
