# Claude

> Connect VMEG Remote MCP in Claude via custom connector

Use VMEG inside Claude (web or desktop) to translate media through conversation.

<h2 id="manual-setup">
  Manual setup
</h2>

### Prerequisites

* A Claude account — custom connectors work on all plans (Free is limited to one connector; Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise allow more). On Team/Enterprise, an owner must add the connector at the organization level first.
* A VMEG account — see [Pricing](/guides/pricing) for credits

### Register the connector

Claude supports **manual custom connectors** (paste a Remote MCP URL). The connector UI does **not** expose custom `Authorization` headers — authenticate with **OAuth** when you connect.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open connector settings">
    In Claude, go to **Settings** → **Connectors** → **Add custom connector** (or **Customize** → **Connectors** → **+**).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the VMEG endpoint">
    * **Name:** `VMEG`
    * **Remote MCP server URL:**

    ```text theme={null}
    https://www.vmeg.ai/api/mcp
    ```

    Leave OAuth Client ID / Secret blank unless you run a custom OAuth client.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect and authorize">
    Click **Connect**. Complete the VMEG OAuth flow in your browser, approve access, and **select the project** Claude should use.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set permissions (optional)">
    To avoid repeated prompts, set the VMEG connector to **Always allow**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Need [API Key](https://www.vmeg.ai/open-api-setting) + Bearer auth instead? Use [Claude Code](/mcp/claude-code) or [Cursor](/mcp/cursor).
</Note>

### Usage

Open a new Claude chat and request a translation:

```text theme={null}
Translate this video to German with VMEG.
```

Claude calls VMEG tools to create tasks, poll status, and return an editor link when finished.
