# Set up Atlaso

> The exact, copy-paste instructions live in the app — this page covers what to expect, and what each tool can do automatically.

The dashboard generates the right command for your tool and watches for the
connection, so the real setup happens there. Here's the shape of it, for
every tool.

## The flow, for every tool

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick your tool">
    Sign in at [app.atlaso.ai](https://app.atlaso.ai) and pick your tool (or
    open **Connections** if you're already set up).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the command">
    Run the command it shows you — or paste the connector URL for GUI apps
    like Claude Desktop.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize in the browser">
    A browser window opens by itself — that's the device authorization step.
    Check it's **app.atlaso.ai** and click **Authorize**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done">
    The tool starts capturing as you work and recalling before your prompts —
    nothing else to configure.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  The browser opening on its own the first time a tool runs is expected —
  it's how the tool links this device to your account. It only ever opens
  your Atlaso authorization page.
</Note>

## What each tool supports

CLI and IDE tools get the full automatic loop. GUI chat apps connect through
MCP, which works differently — the model calls memory tools when it decides
to (see [Claude.ai & GUI apps](/tools/gui-apps)).

| Tool                                    | Auto recall | Auto capture | Ambient (Pro) | Notes                                     |

| [Codex CLI / Desktop](/tools/codex)     |      ✓      |       ✓      |       ✓       | Desktop installs via its marketplace UI   |

| [Claude Desktop](/tools/claude-desktop) |      —      |       —      |       —       | MCP tools only — model-initiated memory   |

## On the Free plan

Free includes one device and one active tool — the first tool you use claims
the slot automatically. A second tool keeps working locally but stops syncing
to your cloud memory. How that works and how to switch:
[One active tool on Free](/account/one-active-tool).
