Connect Claude
Claude reaches Olympus on your computer through the Olympus relay, on the web, in the desktop app and on your phone. You approve it once, on that computer, with one click: no code to copy and no account to create.
Before you start
- Olympus installed on your computer. One line in Terminal.
- Be at that computer. The approval opens in its browser, so start in Claude on that computer.
Connect
- Add the connector. In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors. Choose +, then Add custom connector, name it Olympus, and paste this address as the URL:
Keep the options Claude fills in, then choose Add.https://mcp.olympusplugin.ai/mcp - Connect. Choose Connect on the Olympus connector.
- Approve on your computer. A page opens in your computer's browser asking to connect Claude to Olympus. Choose Connect. That click is how Olympus knows the computer is yours. After that, Olympus works in Claude on your phone too.
- Ask. Ask about your own things in plain words. Claude answers from what is Personal, with citations. For your Private things it gets at most an answer written on your computer, by the model built into Olympus (or Venice, if you set it up), never the things themselves, though that answer can repeat what they say. Otherwise it is told that the answer is in Olympus on your computer, with a link that opens it there: open your Inbox on the computer to read it. Olympus keeps that answer in the Inbox until you delete it, revoke the app, or delete a source it drew on.
Good to know
- If the approval page says Olympus did not answer on this computer, it opened somewhere other than the computer where Olympus runs. Start again from Claude on that computer.
- Your computer needs to be awake and online for Claude to reach Olympus. It opens no ports; it only makes an outgoing connection. If Claude says your computer is offline.
- The relay passes requests between Claude and your computer. It stores and logs no questions, answers or tokens, but like any HTTPS service it handles them in transit.
- To disconnect, remove the Olympus connector in Claude. On the computer, the dashboard's Agents page (under On this computer) lists connected apps, each with Revoke.
