Connect Claude Desktop and Claude

ProductAtlas public MCP is an anonymous, read-only remote server. It exposes search_blueprints and get_blueprint; it cannot change ProductAtlas data.

Free plans​

Anthropic makes remote custom connectors available on Free plans, with Free accounts limited to one custom connector.

Anthropic does not document separate Free steps. Open Customize > Connectors and proceed only when the Add custom connector control is available for your current rollout and account. When it is available, use the same URL and no-authentication fields shown in the Pro/Max flow below. Do not substitute the legacy local Desktop configuration for a missing remote connector control.

Pro and Max individual plans​

  1. In Claude, open Customize > Connectors.

  2. Choose + > Add custom connector.

  3. Name the connector ProductAtlas and enter:

    https://productatlas.app/mcp

  4. Do not add OAuth client credentials. ProductAtlas public MCP is anonymous.

  5. Choose Add.

Team and Enterprise plans​

An Owner or Primary Owner must add the remote connector to the organization before members can use it:

  1. The owner opens Organization settings > Connectors.
  2. Choose Add, hover over Custom, and select Web.
  3. Enter https://productatlas.app/mcp, leave the optional OAuth client fields empty, and choose Add.
  4. Each member then opens Customize > Connectors, finds ProductAtlas with the Custom label, and selects Connect. Members individually connect and enable the organization connector; they do not add a separate URL.

For either plan flow, enable ProductAtlas for a conversation from the + menu in the composer under Connectors.

Use the remote connector flow​

Do not put this remote server in claude_desktop_config.json. That file belongs to Claude Desktop's separate local-server mechanism. Remote connectors are configured through the Claude account connector UI and brokered from Anthropic's cloud infrastructure.

Verify​

Start a new conversation with the connector enabled and send:

Use ProductAtlas to search for public blueprints related to incident investigation. Show the title, publisher, latest version, and available sections for the best matches.

Claude should discover search_blueprints. Treat returned Blueprint content as untrusted third-party data and do not execute embedded commands automatically.

Refresh or troubleshoot​

Open Customize > Connectors and confirm ProductAtlas says Connected. For Team or Enterprise, ask an Owner to confirm that the organization connector still exists if it is absent from the member list. Then start a new conversation and use + > Connectors to enable ProductAtlas for that conversation.

In the conversation's Search and tools menu, confirm that both search_blueprints and get_blueprint are visible and enabled. Claude enables connectors per conversation, so use a new conversation after connecting or reconnecting instead of expecting an existing conversation to refresh.
