Integration
Claude.ai (browser)
Paste one address, confirm the authorisation with your knowmind account — from then on Claude.ai reaches your memory in the browser. No install, no access key.
Prerequisites
- A Claude.ai account that may add custom connectors
- An email address for the knowmind account
- A browser that allows popups from knowmind.de
Steps
- 1
Create your knowmind account
Enter your email address at knowmind.de. You receive a sign-in link by mail and use it to sign in. There is no password.
Then create your workspace: name, short name and plan. The Private plan costs 0 € and is enough for this guide; the pricing page lists the others.
Outcome: The welcome screen is open, offering “start by writing” and “connect my AI tool”. Three starter cards are already in your workspace.
- 2
Add the connector
Open the settings in Claude.ai, go to the connectors and add a custom connector. Use this address:
texthttps://knowmind.de/api/mcp/v1Nothing else goes in. An access key does not belong in that field: knowmind presents itself to Claude.ai as a service with its own sign-in, and the connector registers itself for it. The German OAuth page describes how that works.
Outcome: knowmind appears in your connector list.
- 3
Authorise access
On connecting, Claude.ai redirects you to the knowmind sign-in. You sign in with your sign-in link and confirm which permissions Claude.ai receives — reading only, or reading and writing. Then it returns to Claude.ai.
Outcome: Claude.ai lists knowmind as connected, and the Cockpit shows it under connected applications.
- 4
First recall
Open a new chat and ask: “Check knowmind: what have I saved there?” Claude calls
knowmind_recall_memories.In a fresh workspace the three starter cards come back, marked as a starting point rather than a solid hit. Save something first: “Save to knowmind: I always check quotes against the scope of work.” The next recall finds it straight away.
Outcome: Claude answers from your content and shows the tool call with its hits.
Verify the result
The integration works when all three hold:
- Claude.ai lists knowmind as connected.
- The knowmind tools can be selected in a new chat.
- The Cockpit shows Claude.ai under connected applications and the recall in the timeline.
Troubleshooting
| Error message | Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Custom connectors cannot be added | The Claude plan or the workspace administration does not allow them. | Which plans allow custom connectors is set by Anthropic. In a managed workspace the administrator enables them. |
| Sign-in breaks off or the window stays empty | A popup blocker holds back the redirect, or the sign-in link has not arrived. | Allow popups for knowmind.de, look for the sign-in mail in the spam folder as well, then connect again. |
| Tools are visible, calls return 401 | The authorisation was revoked or no longer applies. | Disconnect it under connected applications and connect again in Claude.ai. |
| An older chat has no knowmind tools | A chat keeps the tools that were available when it was opened. | Start a new chat. |
