Connect the Connector with Claude

Connect Claude and limit access to the Spaces you choose.

On this page

Connect Claude to your TEISENDA account and choose the Spaces it can access. There is a separate method for Claude Code. A Space is a shared workspace in the app.

Note

You need a TEISENDA account; see What you need before connecting.

The Anthropic guide explains which Claude plans allow custom connectors. On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds the Connector first (follow these steps).

TEISENDA is not yet published in Claude's directory. Add the Connector manually.

Add the Connector manually

Copy this address into the server URL field:

Connector address
https://mcp.teisenda.com/mcp

  1. Open connectors

    In Claude's sidebar, click “Customize”, then “Connectors”.

  2. Add a custom connector

    Click “Add” and choose “Add custom connector”. Enter a name of your choice under “Name” and the address under “MCP Server URL”, then click “Next”.

  3. Choose authentication

    Under “Authentication”, choose “Sign in now”; under “OAuth client”, choose “Use Claude's published identity”. Leave the client ID and client secret fields empty. According to Anthropic's guide, these settings cannot be changed later.

  4. Sign in to TEISENDA

    Claude redirects your browser to TEISENDA; follow Sign in and choose Spaces.

  5. Enable the Connector in the chat

    According to the English Anthropic guide, choose “+”, then “Connectors” in the chat and enable the Connector.

Sign in and choose Spaces

  1. Sign in to TEISENDA

    Sign in as usual. With email and password, also enter the code if two-factor sign-in is enabled (Sign in and out). If you are already signed in, you go straight to the consent page.

  2. Choose Spaces and confirm

    Check Account, App and, if shown, Return to; the application supplies its own name. All selectable Spaces and Also for Spaces I join later are checked: uncheck anything you do not want and click Connect.

Claude shows the Connector under “Yours” as “Connected”. TEISENDA lists it under Manage connections.

Good to know

  • With Also for Spaces I join later, every Space you join later becomes part of the connection without asking you again.
  • Complete sign-in within 10 minutes in the same browser.
  • The connection can only work in Spaces where you are a member.

If something goes wrong

Claude says the connection was denied

You clicked Cancel on the consent page, so no connection was created. Restart the connection in Claude and confirm on the consent page.

You are not a member of any Space.

This sentence appears instead of the Spaces on the consent page. The connection can only work in Spaces where you are a member; see Accept an invitation.

The Connector shows its expired sign-in page

The return to the Connector failed: more than 10 minutes have passed since you started in Claude, you completed sign-in in another browser, or it was already completed. Restart the connection in Claude and complete it within 10 minutes in the same browser.

TEISENDA's sign-in or consent page shows a message

These messages, their causes and solutions are listed under Troubleshoot the Connector.

More questions about connecting in Claude

How does an owner add the Connector on Team or Enterprise?

According to the English Anthropic guide, a member without the Owner role cannot add a custom connector on these plans; the labels below also come from that guide.

Open “Organization settings > Connectors”, choose “Add” and “Custom” (if Claude asks for the type, choose “Web”), enter the address https://mcp.teisenda.com/mcp and click “Add”. Each member then clicks “Connect” for the connector labelled “Custom” under “Customize > Connectors” and signs in as described above.

What other authentication settings are available?

“Sign in when needed” leads to the same sign-in later as “Sign in now”. “No authentication” does not work because the Connector requires sign-in. For “OAuth client”, “Register automatically” may also work; “Use your own OAuth client” is not an option because TEISENDA does not issue client IDs.

Block individual tools or remove the Connector in Claude

Open the Connector under “Customize”, “Connectors”. Under “Tool permissions”, choose “Always allow”, “Approval required” or “Blocked” for each tool (English title, such as “List projects”).

Warning

If you remove the Connector in Claude (“Remove”), the connection may remain in TEISENDA. To be sure, end it on the Connected apps page, as explained in Manage connections.

If authentication has expired, connect the application again.

Connect Claude Code

Note

Claude Code is installed on your computer, and you have a browser for sign-in.

Add the Connector in Claude Code with this command:

Command
claude mcp add --transport http teisenda https://mcp.teisenda.com/mcp

The source is the Anthropic guide.

  1. Add the Connector

    Run the command in a terminal. teisenda is the Connector's name in Claude Code.

  2. Sign in to TEISENDA

    In Claude Code, enter /mcp or run claude mcp login teisenda and follow the browser steps (Sign in and choose Spaces). The consent page shows the host as localhost or 127.0.0.1.

The browser then returns to Claude Code, and TEISENDA lists the connection under the name Claude Code on the connections page.

If something goes wrong in Claude Code

Claude Code says the connection was denied

You clicked Cancel on the consent page, so no connection was created. Restart sign-in with /mcp or claude mcp login teisenda and confirm on the consent page.

The Connector shows its expired sign-in page

More than 10 minutes have passed since you started in Claude Code, you completed sign-in in another browser, or it was already completed. Restart sign-in and complete it in the same browser within 10 minutes.

The browser does not open automatically

Copy the address shown by Claude Code and open it manually. Complete sign-in within 10 minutes in the same browser.

After sign-in, the browser shows a connection error

The browser cannot reach Claude Code on your computer. Paste the full address from the browser's address bar into the input shown by Claude Code.

claude mcp add says the server already exists in the configuration

There is already an entry with this name in the same scope. Keep the entry, or remove it first with claude mcp remove teisenda.

Claude Code shows a message referring to /mcp

TEISENDA no longer accepts the stored authentication, and it cannot be renewed: the connection was ended in TEISENDA or authentication has expired. Open /mcp and choose “Re-authenticate” for the Connector. This creates a new connection in TEISENDA; choose its Spaces on the consent page.

More questions about Claude Code

Which projects does the entry apply to?

According to Anthropic's guide, without the option --scope the entry only applies to the project where you ran the command. With --scope user it is available in all your projects.

How do I sign out in Claude Code or remove the Connector?

In the /mcp menu, choose “Clear authentication” for the Connector, or run claude mcp logout teisenda. With claude mcp remove teisenda you remove the Connector; according to Anthropic's guide, Claude Code also deletes the stored authentication. To make sure the connection ends, end it in TEISENDA, as explained in Manage connections.

Are connectors from claude.ai also available in Claude Code?

Anthropic's guide says yes, if Claude Code is signed in with a claude.ai account. /mcp identifies them as coming from claude.ai. A connector you added directly in Claude Code takes priority if it has the same address.
