# Claude

> Connect Claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code to the Kernel MCP server

<Info>Our remote MCP server isn't compatible with the method Free users of Claude use to add MCP servers.</Info>

## Pro, Max, Team & Enterprise (Claude.ai and Claude Desktop)

Kernel is available as an [official connector](https://claude.ai/directory/kernel) in the Claude directory.

1. Open Kernel's [official connector](https://claude.ai/directory/kernel) and click **Connect** (or find `Kernel` under **Settings → Connectors**).
2. Launch OAuth and approve.
3. In chat, click **Search and tools** and enable the Kernel tools if needed.

<Info>On Claude for Work (Team/Enterprise), only Primary Owners or Owners can enable custom connectors for the org. After it's configured, each user still needs to go to **Settings → Connectors** and click **Connect** to authorize it for their account.</Info>

## Claude Code CLI

**Using Kernel CLI (recommended):**

```bash theme={null}
kernel mcp install --target claude-code
# Then in the REPL run once to authenticate:
/mcp
```

**Manual setup:**

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http kernel https://mcp.onkernel.com/mcp
# Then in the REPL run once to authenticate:
/mcp
```
