Connect Claude

The one-time setup, how to tell it worked, the manual fallback, connection keys, and how to disconnect.

Connect Claude once and you can say "publish this" in any Claude conversation and get a live URL back. It takes about a minute. You need a PageSumo account first; if you don't have one, see Your account.

Connect Claude

  1. Log in to the dashboard. The home screen shows a card that says "Connect PageSumo to publish". Click Connect. (The same card is in Settings, under "Connect Claude".)
  2. Click the green Connect to Claude button. PageSumo copies its connector address to your clipboard and opens Claude with the "Add custom connector" dialog already open.
  3. In Claude, name it PageSumo and paste the address. Skip Advanced settings.
  4. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in with your PageSumo account.

Do this part in a web browser on a computer. Once you're connected, saying "publish this" works in Claude on your phone too.

How to tell it worked

The setup card disappears from the dashboard, and the "Connect Claude" card in Settings shows a green Claude connected chip.

Or just try it: in any Claude chat, say "publish this" about something Claude made for you, and your live link comes right back.

If the button didn't open the right dialog

The address is still on your clipboard, so you can get there by hand:

  1. In Claude's left sidebar, click Customize.

  2. Inside Customize, choose Connectors.

  3. Click the + next to Connectors, then Add custom connector.

  4. Name it PageSumo and paste this address into the box labeled Remote MCP server URL (that's just Claude's name for this field):

    https://app.pagesumo.com/api/mcp

  5. Leave Advanced settings empty, click Add, then Connect, and sign in.

You can copy the address anytime from Settings, under the "Connect Claude" card.

Claude Code

There is no separate setup. The connection lives on your Claude account, so once you connect anywhere, Claude Code can publish too.

If you work entirely on a command line and the sign-in window won't open, use your connection key instead. See "Connect from the command line" below.

Connect from the command line

Most people never need this. Some setups can't finish the browser sign-in: a remote machine you reach over a terminal, or a tool with no browser at all, has nowhere to show the login page. For those, your account has a connection key that lets a command-line tool publish as you.

  1. Go to Settings and find the Connection key card.
  2. Click Reveal key. The card also shows when the key was last used.
  3. Paste the key into the chat with the tool you're using. The card suggests the exact phrase: "Connect me to PageSumo at app.pagesumo.com/api/mcp, my connection key is ..." with your key at the end.

Treat the key like a password: whoever has it has your publishing access. If you think it leaked, click Regenerate key and confirm. The old key stops working immediately, everywhere it was pasted.

Disconnect

  1. Go to Settings. Under the "Connect Claude" card you'll see "PageSumo is connected to your account."
  2. Click Disconnect all apps, then confirm with Disconnect.

Every connected app loses access and can no longer publish or manage pages. Pages you already published stay live. Disconnecting also clears your connection key, if you were using one.

Claude will still show PageSumo in its Connectors list afterward, but it can't publish until you sign in again. To reconnect, open the PageSumo tile in Claude's Connectors list and click Connect.

FAQ

Do I have to connect in every conversation? No. It's account-wide. Connect once and PageSumo is available in every Claude conversation on that account, including Claude Code and Cowork.

Claude says PageSumo is already added. Don't add it again. In Claude's Connectors list, open the existing PageSumo tile and click Connect to sign back in.

Will Claude publish things without asking? No. Claude only publishes, updates, or deletes when you explicitly ask.

Can I publish from ChatGPT or other AI tools? PageSumo connects through Claude today; other tools aren't set up yet.

Claude's screens keep saying "MCP". What is that? MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard way AI assistants connect to outside tools, the way any browser can open any website. PageSumo runs an MCP server, and that's what Claude talks to when you say "publish this". There's nothing to install or maintain. Connecting Claude to PageSumo IS setting up the MCP connection.
