Watch: how to add a connector to Claude
This video shows the connector step using one of our other MCP tools, but the process of adding any custom connector to Claude — including SiteMCP — is identical. We'll swap in a SiteMCP-specific video soon.
Claude's interface changes regularly. Anthropic updates Claude monthly so button labels and screen layouts may look slightly different from the screenshots below. The steps are the same: sign up → get your URL → paste it into Claude → click Connect → set tools to Always approve.
Sign up and get your connector URL
Go to sitemcp.net/login.aspx and create your account with your email. You get 30 days free automatically — no credit card required.
After logging in, go to MCP Settings and click Generate URL. Copy your personal connector URL — this is your access key, so keep it private.
Add the connector to Claude
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector (or click the Add button in the Connectors panel). Paste your connector URL into the URL field. Claude will auto-fill the connector name as SiteMCP. Click Continue.
On the next screen you'll see the authentication type auto-detected as None — Detected. This is correct — your personal token is already embedded in the URL so no separate login is needed. Scroll down and click Add connector.
Claude will show a warning that "anyone with access to this URL can use it." This is expected — your URL already contains your personal token. Keep the URL private, just like a password.
Click Connect to activate the connector
After adding the connector, Claude shows the connector detail screen with a Connect button. Click it to activate. This connects Claude to your personal SiteMCP URL.
Once connected you'll see SiteMCP in the connector list with a Disconnect button — that means it's active.
Set tools to "Always approve"
This is the most important step. By default Claude sets all tools to Needs approval — which means it asks for confirmation before every single tool call, even read-only ones like listing your sites. This makes it very slow to use.
In the connector detail screen, find the Read-only tools and Write tools sections. Change both dropdowns from Needs approval to Always approve. This lets Claude call tools automatically in the flow of a conversation — it still asks for your approval in the chat before making any real changes, like deleting a page or a site.
Why is this safe? Even with Always approve enabled, deleting a page or a whole site still asks for your explicit confirmation in the conversation before Claude does it. The "Always approve" setting only removes the extra confirmation popup for each individual tool call.
Test the connection
Start a new Claude chat and type:
ping sitemcp
You should get back pong — that confirms the connector is live. Then try building your first site:
Create a site for my business — [tell Claude what it is, where it's based, and what you do]
Claude will create the site and a home page, then ask what to add next — a services page, a contact form, images, whatever you need. Anything it builds is live immediately, no publish step.
See the
Quick Guide for more example prompts — pages, theming, images, tracking, and connecting a custom domain.
