Connect on Claude Desktop

If you already added the connector on Claude.ai (web), it syncs to Desktop automatically. For first-time Desktop setup, follow these steps.

Often nothing to do

Connectors are account-level — they follow your Claude account, not a single device. If you already added the aitutors.me tutors connector on Claude.ai (web), it is already here. Open Claude Desktop signed into the same Claude account and the tutors will appear. Give it a minute to sync; if they do not appear, sign out and back in on the desktop app.

If you are starting on Desktop

If you have not added the connector on the web yet, you can add it directly in Claude Desktop using the same values.

  1. Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings → Connectors.

  2. Click Add custom connector (or the equivalent option your version shows).

  3. Enter these values:

    Name

    aitutors.me tutors
    

    Server URL

    https://aitutors.me/mcp
    
  4. Expand Advanced settings and paste your Client ID into the OAuth Client ID field. Leave OAuth Client Secret blank.

    Your Client ID is the aitutors-… value shown on your install page.

  5. Click Add. A browser window will open for the approval step — make sure you are signed into aitutors.me in that browser first. If you are not, open aitutors.me/install there, sign in, and then return to the approval window.

Once connected, open a new chat. The aitutors.me tutors connector should appear with 8 tools.

Set up before June 2026?

If you connected the tutors before June 2026 using a config file and mcp-remote, your existing setup continues to work. The old per-tutor URLs (/mcp/mentor and /mcp/professor-pi) remain live.

The new recommended path — a single combined connector added via Claude.ai (web) — is simpler, works on every device automatically, and fits a free Claude account (one connector slot). You can switch at any time by removing the two old entries from your Claude Desktop config file (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and then following the Claude.ai web steps. There is no urgent need to migrate.
