Connect Claude Code on the computer running Wikilayer. The Claude.ai web connector cannot reach a server bound to localhost.
Claude Code
Run this on the computer where Wikilayer is installed:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user wikilayer http://localhost:38731/mcp
In Claude Code, run /mcp to check that wikilayer is connected. This local single-user server does not ask you to sign in through a browser.
Claude.ai and Claude Desktop
A custom web connector in Claude.ai or Claude Desktop connects from Anthropic's cloud, so it cannot use this local address; the steps on this page connect Claude Code. For Claude.ai, use Wikilayer.org's hosted connector instead. Anthropic explains the network requirement.
What's next
Once Claude Code shows wikilayer as connected, try the first steps. You can also install the Wikilayer skills.
