Connectors sync across Claude. Setting this up in the desktop app also enables it in Claude Web, and vice versa — you only need to do it once.

  2. Select the orgs you want Claude to access.
  3. Click Authorize.
Return to the Claude app — the connector shows as Connected.

Use it

Start a new chat. The Control Plane tools are available — ask Claude to “list GVCs in org <your-org>” (using one of the orgs you authorized) to confirm.
For the latest connector setup details, see Anthropic’s Custom Connectors documentation.

Example conversation

1

Set Context

Use org "my-org" and gvc "my-gvc" for context.
2

Deploy a Workload

Create a publicly accessible workload called "my-api" using nginx:latest on port 80.
3

Get the Endpoint

Monitor the readiness of my-api and give me the public endpoint once it's ready.

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure a default browser is set in your OS. Re-trigger sign-in by removing the connector and adding it again.
Open claude://claude.ai/customize/connectors (or Settings → Connectors → Customize), disconnect the Control Plane connector, then click Connect again. Sign in and adjust your org selections on the consent screen.
