Open this on your computer

Claude Desktop runs on macOS, Windows and Linux — not on phones. This wizard is easier to follow on the same machine where you'll use Claude.

Connect Claude Desktop to your knowledge

About 3 minutes. We'll walk you through adding the Deep Thought MCP connector and making the first call.

1

Welcome

Who this is for

You already use Claude Desktop (or claude.ai in a browser) and you want to ask Claude about content in your Deep Thought knowledge base — meetings, notes, transcripts, entities — without copy-pasting. This wizard adds the Deep Thought MCP connector to Claude. After three minutes you'll be able to say "Search my Deep Thought knowledge for last week's planning meeting" and Claude will read the actual content, with citations.

If you'd rather connect from the terminal via Claude Code, use the Claude Code wizard instead.

You're about to give Claude read access to your Deep Thought knowledge graph. Once set up, you can ask Claude about your meetings, notes, transcripts, and entities — in plain English, in any chat — and Claude will read the actual content and answer with citations.

This is the remote MCP connector: Claude talks to mcp.deep-thought.cloud over HTTPS using OAuth 2.1. No CLI, no copy-pasting tokens, no API keys to store. You sign in with your Deep Thought account in the browser (once), and from then on Claude has a scoped, revocable connection.

What you'll do in the next 3 minutes

  • Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Connectors
  • Add the Deep Thought MCP server
  • Approve in a browser pop-up (one click)
  • Make your first call to verify it works
2

Make sure Claude Desktop is installed

If you don't have Claude Desktop yet, install it from claude.ai/download. macOS, Windows, and Linux are supported.

Or use claude.ai in a browser — the connector flow is identical. Sign in at claude.ai, click your profile, and you'll find Settings → Connectors in the same place.

If you're already using Claude Desktop / claude.ai, skip ahead.

3

Open Settings → Connectors

In Claude Desktop, open Settings (macOS: ⌘ ,, Windows/Linux: from the menu). Find the Connectors section in the sidebar.

You'll see a list of connectors Claude already knows about (a few are built-in). We're about to add a new one — the Deep Thought MCP server.

Click Add custom connector (or similar — Claude's UI labels move occasionally).

4

Add the Deep Thought MCP server

Fill in the connector form:

  • Name: Deep Thought (or anything you'll recognise)
  • URL: https://mcp.deep-thought.cloud/mcp
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP (the default for remote MCP)

Then click Add or Save.

Claude will try to register itself with the server. The first time you do this, Claude opens a browser window for you to approve — that's the OAuth consent step, handled in the next two screens of this wizard.

5

Sign in with your Deep Thought account

A browser window should open pointing at https://app.deep-thought.cloud/oauth/consent. If it didn't open automatically, look for a button in Claude that says Authorize or Connect.

On the consent page:

  • Sign in with your Deep Thought account if you're not already signed in
  • You'll see which Claude client is requesting access (the connector you just named) and which scopes it's asking for

Don't approve yet — read the next step first.

6

Approve scopes

The default scopes are:

  • kb:read — Claude can read your knowledge (sources, transcripts, summaries, entities)
  • graph:read — Claude can traverse the entity graph

Optional:

  • kb:write — let Claude tag sources, create actions, add notes back into your knowledge base. Skip this if you only want read access for now.

Click Approve. The page redirects back to Claude and the connector is now active. You can revoke any time at app.deep-thought.cloud/settings/devices.

7

Make your first call

Back in Claude, start a new chat and try one of these:

  • "Search my Deep Thought knowledge for [topic from a recent meeting]"
  • "List my recent sources"
  • "What entities are connected to [a person or project name you've discussed]"

Claude will recognize that the Deep Thought connector is available and will call a tool from it. You may see Claude announce something like "I'll search your Deep Thought knowledge…" before responding.

8

Verify a citation came back

Claude's response should reference specific sources from your knowledge base — meeting titles, source IDs, dates. If you only got a generic answer with no mention of your actual data, something didn't connect.

If you see citations: the connector is working. You're done.

If you only got a generic answer:

  • Check Settings → Connectors → Deep Thought is listed and shows Connected
  • Re-trigger the authorization (some clients need a second sign-in)
  • Try a more specific query that names something you know is in your knowledge base
  • If still stuck, email support@deep-thought.cloud — include the connector name and the prompt you tried
9

Done

The connector is live. From now on, in any Claude Desktop or claude.ai chat, Claude can read your Deep Thought knowledge when you ask.

What you can do now

  • Ask anything across your knowledge. "Summarise what was decided in the last three planning meetings." "Find every action item assigned to me this quarter." "What did we agree about [decision] in [project]?"
  • Combine with Claude's other capabilities. Ask Claude to draft an email based on a meeting transcript, or build a project plan from your notes.

Managing the connection

  • Revoke at any time. Visit app.deep-thought.cloud/settings/devices and click Revoke next to the Claude client name. The token is invalidated server-side instantly.
  • See what Claude is doing. Every tool call is logged. Operators can see calls in the admin /mcp-stats page.
