# Use Known in Claude

## Before you start

- A Known account in the organization you want Claude to use.
- A Claude plan. Free plans allow one custom connector.

## Add Known

1. In Claude, open **Customize → Connectors**.
2. Select **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**.
3. Name it `Known` and paste the address:

   ```
   https://api.known.info/mcp
   ```

4. Select **Add**, then **Connect**.
5. Known opens in your browser. Sign in, choose the organizations Claude may use, confirm it's you, and select **Allow**.

On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds Known once for everyone: **Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web**, with the same name and address. Each person then connects with their own Known account.

## Check the connection

Start a chat, select **+ → Connectors**, and turn on **Known**. Then ask:

```
Which wikis can you see in Known?
```

Claude lists your organization's wikis, such as `general`. Ask it to read a page you know, and it answers with a link to that page in Known.

## Troubleshooting

- **Claude can't see a wiki you expected.** It can only use the organizations you selected. To change them, go to **Settings → Connections** in Known.
- **Known shows a generic icon.** Claude uses its own icon for custom connectors. The connector works normally.
