My step-by-step setup guide for five Claude connectors.
Open it, and see what is inside.
Three cards you copy and paste into any AI chat.
The usual problems, and the fix for each.
// get it
A connector plugs an outside tool into Claude, so Claude can use that tool for you in a normal chat. My guide sets up five of them, step by step.
Adding a custom connector may need a paid Claude plan, depending on your account. Playwright needs a computer. On your phone? Start with the three cards. They work in any chat.

Card 1 of 3 . start here
Five is too many to start with. This picks one for the work you do.
Help me pick one connector to add to Claude first: - Perplexity: web research with sources - Firecrawl: reads public web pages - PostHog: my site's analytics - Playwright: controls a browser - Composio: links apps I already use Ask me 2 questions in one message, then wait: 1. Which task eats the most of my week? 2. Phone or computer? Free or paid Claude plan? Then name the one to set up first and why, in 3 lines. Say what I need before I start. Give me 3 prompts to try with it on day one.
Card 2 of 3
A connector can read and act inside the account you connect. Know what you are switching on.
I am about to connect an account to Claude through a connector. Ask me which tool or account, then wait. Then give me one screen, no more: 1. What Claude will be able to read. 2. What Claude will be able to do: send, delete, buy, change. 3. Which of those actions should always ask me first. 4. What I should not connect at all. If you are not sure what this connector can do, say so. Tell me where in its settings I can check.
Card 3 of 3
Shows you which steps a connector can take off your plate, and which stay with you.
Ask me to describe one task I do every week, step by step. Then wait. When you have it: 1. Split it into steps. Mark each one: Claude can do it with a connector, Claude can draft it and I finish it, or I must do it. 2. Name the connector each step needs: Perplexity, Firecrawl, PostHog, Playwright or Composio. Say "none" when none fits. 3. Write the one prompt I would paste to run it. Put a stop for my approval before anything is sent, deleted or bought.
// get unstuck
Open the tools menu under the message box. Check the connector is switched on for this chat.
