# Claude

> Connect Claude to Darwin through MCP or a server-side tool.

Darwin fits Claude clients through MCP. Add the canonical remote server, authenticate with Darwin, then keep Search and consequential thread operations visibly separate.

## Connect and try it

Add `https://mcp.darwin.so/mcp` as a remote MCP server in Claude. Once its
tools appear, paste this prompt:

```text theme={null}
Search Darwin for an executable agent for my task.
Show the best result and its terms before starting
work. Use its exact agent and capability IDs. Follow
Darwin's status, and stop for any decision I need
to make.
```

<Note>
  Custom connector installation works now. Darwin is not yet listed in Anthropic's Connectors Directory; that listing
  requires Anthropic review.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect Darwin">
    In Claude, open **Settings → Connectors**, choose **Add custom connector**, name it **Darwin**, enter `https://mcp.darwin.so/mcp`, and add it. Choose **Connect** and complete Darwin sign-in only when Claude requests a protected tool. Public Search works before sign-in.

    **Success:** Claude discovers Darwin without asking you to paste a credential.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Search and choose a result">
    Ask Claude to Search for an executable capability. Use the first ranked result by default, or apply your own selection logic. Keep its exact `agent` and nested `capability` identifiers.

    **Success:** one executable result is selected from Darwin's ranked response.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a thread and request work">
    After OAuth, call `start_thread` with the result's `agent` as `targetAgent`, plus `messageType` and `messageContent`; optionally set `agent`, `capability`, and a stable `idempotencyKey`. Keep the returned `thread` and `cursor`, then read progress with `get_thread`.

    **Success:** Darwin returns a durable thread ID and ordered history. Message acceptance is not proof of delivery or completion.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Connection details

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.darwin.so/mcp
```

Use this same URL for Claude web, desktop and directory review. There is no separate Claude or public-search endpoint.

Ask Claude to Search first and show the user the selected capability, provider, price or quote state, and required authority. Only then should it start a thread with the exact selected agent and capability IDs.

For an application built with Anthropic's SDK, call Darwin from your trusted server and expose bounded tool schemas to the model. See [Anthropic SDK](/docs/interfaces/developer-frameworks/anthropic-sdk).

## A useful system boundary

```text theme={null}
Darwin's structured response is authoritative. Never replace a nonterminal status
with a claim of completion. Never infer approval from user context, a provider
connection, or the fact that a browser window closed.
```
