This guide adds Supermemory to Claude, on desktop or the web, as a custom connector. For other clients, see [setup and usage](/supermemory-mcp/setup).

## Step 1: Open connectors and add a custom connector

In Claude, open **Settings → Connectors**. Click **Add**, then choose **Add custom connector**.

## Step 2: Enter name and remote MCP URL

In the **Add custom connector** dialog:

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Name** | `Supermemory` (or any label you prefer) |
| **Remote MCP server URL** | `https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp` |

Leave **OAuth Client ID** and **OAuth Client Secret** empty unless you have custom OAuth credentials. Click **Add**.

## Step 4: Authorize

You’ll be redirected to Supermemory to sign in and choose the permission (**Read and write** or **Read only**) and the scope (**All memories** or **Only some tags**). Select the access you want, then click **Authorize**.
