# Connect to Claude

> Add GetQR to Claude as a custom connector.

Add GetQR to Claude as a custom connector so you can manage QR codes and check scans from a Claude chat. Setup takes about a minute.

## Before you start

* A GetQR account with the Admin or Editor role, and an active subscription. See [AI connectors overview](/ai-connectors/overview).
* A Claude account at [claude.ai](https://claude.ai).

## Connect from GetQR

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open My Account">
    In GetQR, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then click **My Account**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the AI connectors tab">
    Click **AI connectors**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the connection">
    Click **Connect an assistant**. If you already have a connection, click **Connect** instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Claude">
    Select **Claude** in the dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Claude">
    Click **Open Claude**. Claude opens the **Add custom connector** form with the name GetQR and the server URL already filled in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the connector">
    Confirm the form in Claude to add the connector.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Connect">
    In Claude, click **Connect** next to GetQR.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve access">
    Sign in to GetQR if asked. Review the permissions and click **Allow**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the connection">
    Back in GetQR, the dialog updates automatically and shows "Claude connected". Claude now appears under **Connected clients**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Connect manually in Claude

If the **Open Claude** button doesn't work, add the connector yourself.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Copy the server URL">
    Copy `https://getqr.com/api/mcp`. You can also click **Copy** next to the URL in the GetQR dialog.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open connector settings in Claude">
    In Claude, open **Customize** → **Connectors** → **Add custom connector**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add GetQR">
    Enter `GetQR` as the name and paste the server URL. Save the connector.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect and approve">
    Click **Connect**, sign in to GetQR and click **Allow**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Try it

Start a new chat in Claude and ask:

```text theme={null}
List my QR codes and show how many scans each got in the last 7 days.
```

If Claude asks for permission to use a GetQR tool, allow it. See [Example prompts](/ai-connectors/example-prompts) for more ideas.

## Common issues

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The GetQR page says “AI connectors aren't available”">
    Viewers can't connect AI assistants. Ask the workspace Admin to make you an Editor.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The GetQR page says “An active subscription is required”">
    AI assistants can connect only to accounts with an active subscription. If you're an Editor, the workspace Admin's subscription must be active. See the [Help Center](https://getqr.com/help) for plan questions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The GetQR dialog keeps saying “Waiting for Claude”">
    The dialog waits until you click **Allow** on the GetQR page. Finish the sign-in in Claude, then come back. If you closed the Claude tab, click **Cancel** and start again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="“This connection request is invalid”">
    The request from Claude wasn't recognized. Close the window, remove the GetQR connector in Claude, and add it again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The Claude option is greyed out">
    Claude is already connected to your account. To reconnect, revoke the existing connection first. See [Manage connections](/ai-connectors/manage-connections).
  </Accordion>
