Connect Pangur to Claude

Once you have a library, you can optionally connect Claude as a custom connector. You set it up once on the web (claude.ai) or the Claude desktop app — not the phone apps. Once added, it is usable from your other devices.

Connector URL

https://pangur.io/mcp

Requirements

• A Pangur account with a library ready.
• A Claude plan that allows custom connectors (Free, Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise). On Free, you can add a single custom connector.

Add the connector (Pro / Max, personal)

1. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors (also reachable via Customize → Connectors).
2. Select + (Add connector), then Add custom connector.
3. Paste the Connector URL https://pangur.io/mcp.
4. Select Add, then Connect.
5. A browser window opens for sign-in — authenticate with your Pangur account. This links Claude to the library and scope on that account.

Add the connector (Team / Enterprise)

An Owner adds it for the organisation first:

1. Go to Organization settings → Connectors.
2. Select Add, hover Custom, then choose Web.
3. Paste https://pangur.io/mcp and select Add.

Members then enable it: Customize → Connectors → Pangur (Custom) → Connect, and authenticate with their own Pangur account.

Use it

Start a chat and ask, for example:

What do my sources say about open access mandates?

Claude will call Pangur’s tools to read your scoped library.

Advanced: manual OAuth client

Pangur supports automatic client registration, so normally you only paste the URL. If your product or organisation blocks automatic registration, open Advanced settings when adding the connector and enter the public OAuth Client ID shown on your Pangur settings page (zcp-mcp). Leave the client secret blank.

Your server must be public

Claude connects to a remote MCP server from Anthropic’s cloud infrastructure, not from your local device. Pangur is publicly reachable at pangur.io, so this works out of the box — there is nothing to expose or tunnel.
