How to Add Claude Connectors: Directory One-Click and Custom MCP

On November 5, 2026, DEV Community published a tutorial explaining how to add connectors in Claude. A Claude connector, the tutorial says, links Claude to another app so that Claude can read from it or act in it during a chat, such as a calendar, documents, an issue tracker, or a publishing tool. Some connectors are listed in Claude's directory and can be connected in one click. Any other service that runs a remote MCP server can be added as a custom connector by its URL. The steps given are to go to Customize › Connectors and click the + next to Connectors. From there you can pick one from the directory and click Connect, or choose to add a custom connector and paste the URL of the remote MCP server. On plan support, the tutorial states that all plans can add custom connectors, with the free plan limited to one, and that a connector can be switched on during a chat as needed. Only this single piece of coverage was found, so the topic remains at the instructional stage with no reported follow-up developments.
