# Connect to Claude

> Add Along as an MCP server in Claude to query your Safes directly from conversations.

Claude supports MCP servers natively. Once you connect Along, Claude can list and switch between your Safes and query your knowledge graph directly from any conversation — without leaving Claude.

## Prerequisites

* An Along account with at least one active Safe

## Connect Along to Claude

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Claude connectors settings">
    In Claude, go to **Settings** → **Connectors** (or **MCP Servers**, depending on your Claude version).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the Along MCP server">
    Click \*\*Add connector \*\*and search for "Along" — or enter the MCP server URL manually:

    ```text theme={null}
    https://along-api-qrd5m37v3a-ey.a.run.app/mcp/v1
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize your Along account">
    Claude opens the Along authorization page. Log in with your Along account credentials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize the connection">
    Click **Authorize**. Claude receives your access token and completes the setup automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After connecting

Once the connection is established, Claude has access to three Along tools:

| Tool                | What it does                              |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| `along_list_safes`  | Lists all Safes your account can access   |
| `along_select_safe` | Switches the active Safe for this session |
| `along`             | Queries the active Safe's knowledge graph |

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_safes` and shows you the available options to choose from.
* **"Use the \[Safe name] safe"** — Claude calls `along_select_safe` with the matching Safe ID directly.

<Note>
  Safe selection is persisted on your OAuth token server-side, so your active Safe carries across conversations automatically.
