{'Add Ghostbase To Claude'} {'Manual setup'}

Ghostbase connector endpoint {'OAuth'}

{'https://www.ghostbase.com/api/mcp'}

## Claude App And Desktop Use this flow for Claude on the web, Claude Desktop, and Claude apps that support connectors.

{1}

{'Install from Ghostbase'}

{"Use the one-click installer to open Claude's custom connector modal with the Ghostbase endpoint already filled in."}

{'Add Ghostbase To Claude'}

{2}

{'Add the connector'}

{'In Claude, click '}Add{' or '}Add custom connector{'. If the installer worked, the name and URL should already be present.'}

{3}

{'Connect and authorize'}

{'Click '}Connect{', then complete the Ghostbase OAuth flow. Ghostbase only exposes spaces your account can access.'}

{4}

{'Verify in Claude'}

{'Start a new Claude conversation and ask Claude to check the connected Ghostbase account.'}

```txt Use Ghostbase to tell me which account and space are connected. ``` Then try a real knowledge request: ```txt Use Ghostbase to answer from my knowledge about AI in writing. ``` Claude's hosted connector setup is managed through your Claude account. Do not use `claude_desktop_config.json` for the hosted Ghostbase connector. ## Manual Setup If the installer does not open Claude's connector modal, add Ghostbase manually from Claude's connector settings. ```txt Name: Ghostbase URL: https://www.ghostbase.com/api/mcp Authentication: OAuth ``` ## Claude Code Use this flow when you want Ghostbase available inside Claude Code. Run this in your terminal: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http ghostbase --scope user https://www.ghostbase.com/api/mcp ``` This stores Ghostbase as a user-scoped MCP server, so it is available across your Claude Code projects. For a project-scoped setup that can be shared with a repo, use: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http ghostbase --scope project https://www.ghostbase.com/api/mcp ``` Open Claude Code and run: ```txt /mcp ``` Select `ghostbase` and follow the browser OAuth flow. Check the connection: ```bash claude mcp list claude mcp get ghostbase ``` ## What To Ask Claude ```txt Use Ghostbase to search my knowledge for stories about founder-led sales. ``` ```txt Use Ghostbase to write a LinkedIn post from my knowledge about AI in writing. ``` ```txt Capture this in Ghostbase knowledge: "The best content starts as messy thinking, not a polished draft." ``` ## Troubleshooting | Problem | Fix | | --- | --- | | Claude cannot see Ghostbase tools. | Start a new Claude chat, confirm the connector is enabled, then ask Claude what tools are available. | | Claude Code shows Ghostbase as unauthenticated. | Run `/mcp` in Claude Code and complete the OAuth flow. | | Claude Code only has Ghostbase in one repo. | Re-add it with `--scope user` if you want it available across projects. | | You connected the wrong account. | Disconnect Ghostbase in Claude, then reconnect and authorize the correct Ghostbase account. | ## Next Steps
