Connect Claude to Agent Authority

Connect the Claude desktop app and claude.ai to SecureAuth Agent Authority

Anthropic's Claude desktop app and web at claude.ai. Once connected, Claude reaches every tool your organization has approved through a single governed endpoint — every call authenticated, policy-checked, and audited.

Setup (organization admins)

Add the gateway once as an organization connector for your whole workspace.

  1. Open organization connectors — On claude.ai, go to Settings > Connectors.

  2. Add a custom connector — Click Add, hover over Custom, then choose Web.

  3. Enter the gateway URL — Paste the URL and click Add:

https://your-gateway-url/gateway/mcp
  1. Members can now connect — The connector is available org-wide. Share the user instructions below so members can enable it and sign in.

Setup (users)

Connect to the gateway your admin already added.

  1. Open Connectors settings — In Claude Desktop or on claude.ai, go to Settings > Connectors.

  2. Find the SecureAuth connector — In the Connectors list, find the SecureAuth connector your organization admin added.

  3. Connect — Click Connect to start the connection.

  4. Authenticate — A browser window will open for sign-in.

The agent is auto-registered on first connect.

Connecting to just one MCP?To stay under an agent's tool limit, point the URL at a single MCP — /gateway/mcp/{slug} instead of /gateway/mcp. Grab the exact URL from the resource's detail page; see Scope a connection to one MCP.
