# Connect from Claude

> How to connect to ZARMS with OAuth using a custom connector in claude.ai or the Claude desktop app.

In Claude (claude.ai or the Claude desktop app), you add ZARMS as a custom connector. The connection uses OAuth.

Before you start, check that you meet the [requirements](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/mcp/overview.md#requirements). If your role is Member, an admin needs to allow Members to connect.

## Connect

**1. Open the screen for adding a connector**

In Claude's settings, open Connectors and add a custom connector. Claude may rename these menus
in later updates.

**2. Enter the URL**

Enter `https://app.zarms.cloud/mcp` as the server URL and add it.

**3. Sign in to ZARMS**

When you start connecting, ZARMS opens in your browser. Sign in with the Google account you use
for ZARMS.

**4. Choose a team and permissions, then allow**

On the "Connect an app to ZARMS" screen, choose the **Team to connect** and either **Read only**
or **Read and write**, then click **Allow connection**.

**5. Try it in Claude**

Go back to Claude and ask something like "Show me the ZARMS cards where it's my turn." Check
that Claude answers with information from ZARMS.

With **Read only**, Claude can only read cards and boards and can't change anything. If you also want Claude to create cards or write comments, choose **Read and write**.

## Disconnect

In ZARMS, go to **Settings** → **MCP connections** in the right-hand navigation and click **Disconnect** on the Claude row.

## Troubleshooting

* **The team you want doesn't appear**: If your role is Member, it won't appear until an admin allows Members to connect. Guests can't connect.
* **It worked once but stopped working**: Your plan may have changed to Basic, or the connection may have been disconnected. See [When the connection stops working](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/mcp/overview.md#when-the-connection-stops-working).
* **Claude's settings only accept an API key**: See [Connect with an API key](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/mcp/api-keys.md).
