3
Authorize your Along account
Claude opens the Along authorization page. Log in with your Along account credentials.
4
Authorize the connection
Click Authorize. Claude receives your access token and completes the setup automatically.
5
Start using Along in conversations
Open a new conversation and ask Along-related questions. Claude will call the
along tool automatically to retrieve answers from your knowledge graph.After connecting
Once the connection is established, Claude has access to three Along tools:
If you didn’t select a Safe during authorization, Claude will prompt you to select one (using
along_list_safes) before running any knowledge graph queries.
Your session is linked to the Safe you selected. That Safe persists across conversations until you explicitly switch.
Switching Safes
You can switch your active Safe from any Claude conversation:- “Switch my Along safe” — Claude calls
along_list_safesand shows you the available options to choose from. - “Use the [Safe name] safe” — Claude calls
along_select_safewith the matching Safe ID directly.
Safe selection is persisted on your OAuth token server-side, so your active Safe carries across conversations automatically.
