Tutorial: How to add the Context Link Claude Desktop connector

This guide walks you through setting up Context Link as a custom connector inside Claude Desktop. Once connected, you can ask Claude to pull context from your linked sources (Notion, Google Docs, OneDrive, websites, email, Memories) directly in any chat — no copy-pasting required.

Prerequisites

• A Context Link account set up with connections (e.g., Notion, Google Docs).
• The Claude Desktop application installed.

Step 1: Open Connector Settings

1. Open Claude Desktop.
2. Click on your profile/chat name and select Customize.
3. Click Connectors at the top of the window.

Step 2: Add a Custom Connector

1. Click the + Add Custom Connector button.
2. Fill in the form:
   • Name: Context Link
   • URL: https://context-link.ai/mcp
3. Click Add.

Step 3: Grant Permissions

Once added, Claude will display a series of permission prompts. Select Always allow for each so the connector can run without re-prompting. You can verify it's active by checking the toggle in the connectors list.

Step 4: Authenticate Your Account

The first time you use the connector:

1. Start a New Chat.
2. Ask Claude to use Context Link, e.g.: > "Ask Context Link whether there is a time limit for pre-orders."
3. A browser tab will open asking you to authenticate. Click Accept to link your email address with Claude. This ensures Claude retrieves data scoped to the correct user.

Step 5: Use Context Link in any chat

Once authenticated, Claude will route relevant queries through Context Link automatically. Answers come back with citations and source links at the bottom of the response, so you can jump straight to the underlying Notion page, Google Doc, or web page.
