# 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:

```text
https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Nodaro&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.nodaro.ai%2Fmcp
```

Claude 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](https://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_asset` shows any of your results. Images also get **Animate**, **Edit** and **Recreate** buttons and a full-screen view.
- **Your gallery.** `browse_gallery` shows your results as a grid you can scroll.
- **Upload pickers.** `upload_image_widget`, `upload_audio_widget` and `upload_video_widget` open a file picker inside the chat.
- **Recast status.** `get_recast_status` shows 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](https://nodaro.ai/docs/mcp/tools/uploads).

## Make a film in Claude

Ask Claude for a trailer, a short film or a music video, and it loads the [Film Director](https://nodaro.ai/docs/mcp/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](https://nodaro.ai/docs/mcp/troubleshooting).

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I connect Nodaro to Claude with one click?

Yes. The Connect to Claude link opens Claude's Add custom connector dialog with the name Nodaro and the server URL already filled in. You press Add and sign in with your Nodaro account.

### Why does Claude show a warning when I open the connect link?

Claude warns before it adds a connector from an outside link, and it always asks you to press Add yourself. The warning is expected. Check that the URL is https://mcp.nodaro.ai/mcp and continue.

### How do I change the URL of the Nodaro connector in Claude?

Claude cannot edit a connector URL in place. Delete the connector and add it again with https://mcp.nodaro.ai/mcp.

### How do I send an image from Claude to Nodaro?

Ask Claude to open the Nodaro upload picker. The upload_image_widget tool shows a file picker inside the chat, and the uploaded file's URL goes straight back to the conversation.
