Install

No terminal needed — Claude Desktop connects over a URL and signs in through your browser.
1

Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2

Name and URL

Name: Atlaso · URL: https://mcp.atlaso.ai/mcp
3

Connect and authorize

Click Add → Connect — a browser window opens; click Authorize.
4

Restart fully

Fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd-Q / Quit from the menu, not just closing the window) and reopen it.

​
The important difference

Claude Desktop works differently from the CLI tools: there is no automatic recall or capture. Memory works through MCP tools that Claude chooses to call. If it never remembers anything on its own, that’s this design — not a broken install.
In practice:
  • Claude often checks memory on its own when it’s clearly relevant — but not reliably every message.
  • You can always steer it: “check my Atlaso memory first” or “remember this.”
  • For the fully automatic experience, use one of the CLI/IDE tools — see Install Atlaso.
Claude Desktop connects as its own device, separate from any machine where you’ve installed the CLI. On Free that’s your one device — see One active tool on Free.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Connector doesn’t appear after adding — fully quit from the menu and reopen; closing the window isn’t enough.
  • Never remembers on its own — expected, see above. Ask it to check memory.
Anything else: Troubleshooting.

​
Removing it

Settings → Connectors → remove Atlaso, then clear it from Connections in the dashboard. atlaso sync can’t remove it — it connects as its own device, so the CLI can’t see it.
