For the Claude Desktop app (the Chat and Cowork tabs) no API key is required. You add a connector and sign in once by email. With the first connection 50 free credits are active. The screenshots show the German Claude interface.
Click your own name at the bottom left, then Settings.
Open Connectors on the left, click Add at the top right, then Add custom connector.
Enter Agentic-Firmenbuch as the name and
https://mcp.agentic-firmenbuch.at/mcp as the address, then choose
Add. Leave the OAuth fields empty.
The connector is now added; there is no separate "Connect" button. In a new chat, ask a company-register question (or activate Agentic-Firmenbuch). On first use Claude asks once to connect, then a browser tab opens for sign-in.
In the browser, enter your email address and choose Send code. Then type the 6-digit code from the email into the open window, and the connection is established. No API key, no password.
In a new chat, ask a question such as "Are you connected to Agentic-Firmenbuch and which tools are available to you?" If the agent names the company-register tools (search companies, financials, history …), the connection is active.
