How to Connect LLMtoMD to Claude (Claude.ai, Desktop & API)

You don't need to paste a document into Claude every time you want to ask about it. Connect LLMtoMD once as an MCP connector and Claude can search and answer across your whole library — in any chat, in any session.

Here's the setup for each Claude surface. (Using the Claude Code agent? That's a separate flow — see the Claude Code guide.)

What you need

• A free LLMtoMD account with at least one document uploaded. Connecting is free on every plan.

Claude.ai (web)

Requires a paid Claude plan (custom connectors).

1. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. Paste the Connector URL: https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp. Leave the OAuth fields blank and click Connect.
3. Sign in to LLMtoMD and click Allow.

Claude Desktop

1. Settings → Developer → Edit config, add the block below to claude_desktop_config.json, then restart Claude. The first run opens a browser to sign in.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "llmtomd": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude API

Pass LLMtoMD as a remote MCP server with an API key (generate one under Settings → Connect your AI tools):

client.beta.messages.create(
    model="claude-opus-4-8",
    max_tokens=1024,
    mcp_servers=[{
        "type": "url",
        "name": "llmtomd",
        "url": "https://mcp.llmtomd.com/mcp",
        "authorization_token": "mic_YOUR_KEY",
    }],
    betas=["mcp-client-2025-11-20"],
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "List my LLMtoMD documents."}],
)

Verify it works

In any Claude chat, ask:

List my LLMtoMD documents.

Then:

Using my LLMtoMD documents, what's our refund policy?

Claude answers from your actual files — cited, not invented.

Why bother

A connector turns Claude from a chatbot you feed one file at a time into an assistant with a persistent memory of your documents — contracts, specs, research, policies — available across every conversation. More on the pattern in Turn Internal Docs into an AI Knowledge Base.
