Claude
Add Nodaro to Claude as a custom connector with one click or in a few steps, sign in with OAuth, and create images, video and films from a Claude chat.
You connect Claude to Nodaro by adding Nodaro as a custom connector with the URL https://mcp.nodaro.ai/mcp. After you sign in with your Nodaro account, Claude can call every Nodaro tool you allowed, and generations appear in the chat as cards with live progress and the finished media.
Connect with one click
Open the Connect to Claude link:
https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Nodaro&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.nodaro.ai%2FmcpClaude opens its Add custom connector dialog with the name Nodaro and the URL already filled in. Claude first shows a warning about the external link, and you still press Add yourself. Then continue with the sign-in, from step 4 below. The same button is on nodaro.ai/mcp.
Connect by hand
Open the connector settings
In Claude, open Settings › Connectors.
Add a custom connector
Click Add custom connector. Name it Nodaro and paste the URL https://mcp.nodaro.ai/mcp.
Click Add
Claude sends you to the Nodaro sign-in page.
Sign in and allow access
Sign in with your Nodaro account. Review the permissions on the consent screen and click Allow.
Try it
Back in Claude, the connector shows Connected. In a conversation, ask Claude to use Nodaro, for example: "Generate an image of a knight."
What Nodaro looks like in Claude
Claude on the web displays MCP Apps, so several Nodaro tools show interactive cards instead of plain text:
- Job cards. A generation shows live progress, then the image, video or audio. Scripts, lyrics and transcripts appear as text with a Copy button.
- Media in the chat.
display_assetshows any of your results. Images also get Animate, Edit and Recreate buttons and a full-screen view. - Your gallery.
browse_galleryshows your results as a grid you can scroll. - Upload pickers.
upload_image_widget,upload_audio_widgetandupload_video_widgetopen a file picker inside the chat. - Recast status.
get_recast_statusshows a progress bar, the growing preview, and the casting choices as buttons.
Every result is also saved to your Nodaro library.
Upload your own files from Claude
On Claude on the web, use the upload pickers: ask Claude to open the Nodaro image, audio or video upload. When a picker cannot open, request_image_upload returns a link that opens an upload page in your browser, and that works in every client, including the Claude Android app.
The prepare_image_upload, prepare_audio_upload and prepare_video_upload tools need a client that can run shell commands, such as Claude Code or Claude Desktop. They fail on Claude on the web and on Android. See Upload tools.
Make a film in Claude
Ask Claude for a trailer, a short film or a music video, and it loads the Film Director skill from Nodaro. Claude then builds an editable workflow on your canvas, one approved stage at a time. The skill was tested in Claude on the web and in Claude Code.
If the connection fails
- Claude shows an OAuth error when you add the connector. Check that the URL is exactly
https://mcp.nodaro.ai/mcp, with no trailing slash. - You added a wrong URL. Claude cannot edit a connector URL. Delete the connector and add it again with the correct URL.
- Claude shows Nodaro as connected, but no tools appear. Some permissions were not granted. Delete the connector, add it again and allow every permission.
More fixes are in Troubleshooting.
