Connect Biosimulant once, then reuse the connector in new chats on the same Claude account.
CONNECTION WALKTHROUGH
Claude desktop
Left sidebar → Customize
On a small screen, swipe the illustration sideways to see the whole window.
Reduced motion: use the numbered steps or arrows. Based on forms inspected October 10, 2026. Written instructions below include the full setup.
Start from the home screen
- Launch Claude from Applications on Mac or the Start menu on Windows and sign in. Stay in Claude chat; Claude Code desktop has its own guide.
- Find Customize in the left sidebar. If the sidebar is hidden, open it with the sidebar button at the upper left.
- On Customize, select the Connectors tab near the top, beside Skills and Plugins.
- Select Add at the top right of that page. The control is labelled Add connector by screen readers.
- In the menu beneath Add, select Add custom connector. Some versions group it under Custom → Web.
Using a browser instead? Follow Claude web.
Fill in the connection form
- In the centered Add custom connector dialog, enter Biosimulant in Name and paste this MCP server URL:
https://api.biosimulant.com/mcp- Select Continue at the bottom right and wait for the server and sign-in settings to be discovered.
- On the second step, choose Sign in now under Authentication and Register automatically under OAuth client. Leave request headers empty.
- Select Add at the bottom right, then complete Biosimulant sign-in and approve the connection when prompted. If a separate Connect button appears, select it to start sign-in.
- In a new Claude chat, use the + at the lower left of the message box, choose Connectors, and enable Biosimulant.
The form may detect Use Claude’s published identity by default. This guide uses Register automatically (DCR) for a consistent setup path; you do not need your own client ID or secret.
Using staging? Copy the server address from staging Studio instead of the production address above. Your workspace may need an owner to allow custom connectors.
The desktop forms were inspected on October 10, 2026. Labels can vary by version. See Claude’s connector guidance.
Check the connection
Ask your agent:
Check my Biosimulant account and tell me whether this connection is personal
or for a team. Do not start a session or run anything.Confirm the account and context, then create a session in Studio and paste its session prompt into this agent. Setup alone does not join a Studio session.
