Connect Claude to Krova
Connect Claude.ai or Claude Code to Krova Cloud at https://krova.cloud/mcp with OAuth or an API key, and manage your Cubes in a conversation.
Connect Claude to Krova and you can list, create and manage your Cubes in a conversation. Nothing to install: Claude talks to Krova's hosted MCP endpoint at https://krova.cloud/mcp. Use Claude.ai (web, desktop and mobile) or Claude Code.
Claude.ai
Claude.ai connects through a custom connector. Custom connectors are available on every plan; the Free plan allows one. On a Team plan only Owners can add a connector. On an Enterprise plan, Owners can, and so can members whose custom role includes managing the organization's libraries. Everyone else asks an Owner. The source for all of this is Anthropic's Add a connector that isn't in the directory, which stays the reference if the menus change. We have not tested these steps ourselves.
Step 1: Add the connector
On a Free, Pro, Max or Ultra plan:
- Go to Customize → Connectors.
- Click Add custom connector.
- Enter the server URL
https://krova.cloud/mcp. - For the OAuth client, choose Use Claude's published identity, the option Anthropic recommends. Leave any other setting at its default. The dialog's layout varies by organization, so your screen may split these settings differently.
- Click Add.
On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds it for the organization:
- Go to Organization settings → Connectors.
- Select Add, then Custom. If Claude asks for the connector type, choose Web.
- Enter
https://krova.cloud/mcpand add it with the same OAuth choice as above.
Each member then goes to Customize → Connectors, finds the connector with the Custom label and clicks Connect.
Step 2: Sign in to Krova and approve
Claude sends you to Krova. The sign-in is the same for every client.
- Sign in if you are not already. Krova shows Welcome back: continue with Google, or choose Email me a sign-in link. The link and the 6-digit code both work for 5 minutes.
- Choose a space for this app. You only see this step if you have more than one space.
- Approve. The page is titled Allow this app to use Krova?. Check that Registered at shows the Claude domain before you approve.
The page also shows an Unverified app badge. That is normal: Krova shows it for every app that registers itself, so it is not a warning about Claude. The line to read is Registered at.
Access is bound to the one space you chose and carries your own permissions in it.
Step 3: Ask for your Cubes
Open a new conversation and ask Claude to list your Cubes. A working connection returns your real Cubes with their status. If you get a general answer about what Krova is, the tools are not connected. Anthropic documents a per-conversation switch: click the + button in the chat, select Connectors, and check that Krova is on.
Claude Code
Claude Code connects over HTTP. We checked these commands with Claude Code 2.1.309.
Sign in with OAuth
Add the server:
claude mcp add --transport http krova https://krova.cloud/mcpclaude mcp list now shows Krova as not signed in:
krova: https://krova.cloud/mcp (HTTP) - ! Needs authenticationThen run /mcp inside Claude Code and follow the steps in your browser to log in. That is the flow Anthropic describes in Connect Claude Code to tools via MCP. The browser opens Krova's sign-in and approval pages, as in Step 2 above. Approve, and the server shows as connected.
Or use an API key
If you would rather not use a browser, create a key in your space: Space settings → API Keys → Generate key. Then add the server with the key in a header:
claude mcp add --transport http krova https://krova.cloud/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer kro_..."A key carries your own permissions in that space, so anyone holding it can act as you there. It is shown once when you create it. Keep it out of repositories. Claude Code uses the header instead of OAuth when you set one, so do not combine the two.
Disconnect Claude Code
claude mcp remove krovaFor an OAuth connection, Anthropic also documents the Clear authentication option under /mcp to revoke access.
Disconnect Claude.ai
- In Claude: go to Customize → Connectors (Team and Enterprise Owners: Organization settings → Connectors), open the connector and click Remove.
- In Krova: Space settings → Connected apps → Revoke. Revoking cuts access at once.
What to be careful about
The tools include destructive ones such as delete_cube. Claude works with your permissions in the space you approved.
- Keep confirmations on. Read what a call will do before you allow it, and be slow to click Always allow.
- Use a separate space for experiments and approve that one, so Claude cannot reach your production Cubes.
- Revoke what you are not using from Connected apps, and delete API keys you no longer need.
