# The chat connector

The connector puts Clave inside a chat client. You add one address, you
approve the grant once, and the client can build and publish sites.

## Add it

The connector is at `https://api.heyclave.party/mcp`.

Add it in your chat client as a remote MCP server. The client discovers
the rest for itself:

1. It calls `https://api.heyclave.party/mcp` and gets a 401 with a pointer.
2. It reads the protected-resource metadata on the API.
3. It reads the authorization-server metadata on the app.
4. It registers itself and sends you to the grant screen.

## Approve the grant

The grant screen is at https://app.heyclave.party. It is a page in a browser, on purpose: the
party who gains access is not the party who asked, so a person decides.

When you approve, Clave mints an ordinary account token for the client. It
appears in your token list and is revoked from the same panel. There is no
second kind of credential here.

## What it can do

The connector serves the same capabilities the JSON API serves. A tool
there calls the same service the API calls, so the two cannot disagree
about what a site is.

Ask the client for the tool list rather than reading one here. A list
written on this page would be a second copy of a fact that moves.

## What it cannot do

A chat client has no shell and no files. So the connector reads and writes
a site's tree through tools rather than through git, and it cannot build
the site on your machine.

If you have a terminal, use [the terminal client](/agents/terminal)
instead. It is the fuller surface.

## Panels

Some tools draw a small panel in the chat: a photo picker, a gallery of
your sites, a receipt after a publish. A panel shows what the platform
knows. It never frames a site: a chat host refuses a cross-origin frame,
and it refuses it in silence.

## Where this page sits

This is one page of the Clave documentation.
Read it as a web page at https://docs.heyclave.party/agents/connector.
Every page has a `.md` address, and https://docs.heyclave.party/llms.txt lists them all.
