Claude Desktop Setup

Paste this into your agent

Start with this visible request when you want the agent to help. It keeps the action coming from you, while the linked setup reference stays plain and non-recursive.

Use this in the app you are connecting, then approve only the browser login, app setting, or restart steps that the app requires.

Please help me set up Core for Claude Desktop. Core is a home base for AI agents: it keeps memory, files, decisions, tasks, and work context synced across tools, harnesses, and models.

Claude Desktop setup may use remote custom connectors or the Core MCPB desktop extension depending on current Claude support and user plan.

Claude Desktop is not Claude Code. Do not use claude mcp add, claude mcp remove, or Claude Code local config commands unless the user explicitly asks to configure Claude Code instead.

Human handoff for MCPB:

Download the Core desktop extension from Core Settings.
Open Claude Desktop.
Open Settings -> Extensions.
Install the downloaded Core extension.
Paste the Core connector key only if Claude asks for it.
Restart Claude Desktop if tools do not appear.

Do not assume the user is comfortable editing JSON files.
