🖥️Connect Claude Desktop & Cowork

Connect the Dapta MCP to Claude Desktop and Claude Cowork with a one-click plugin. No terminal, no connector URL, no OAuth: your key and all the skills are baked into the plugin you download.

Claude Desktop and Claude Cowork connect to the Dapta MCP through a personalized plugin. When you mint your key, Dapta builds a plugin (a .zip) with your key and all 33 skills baked in. You upload that one file and you are done. No connector URL, no OAuth.

You will need to have minted your key first, the plugin is generated from the key reveal dialog. If you have not done that yet, see Mint your API key.

Dapta walks you through these same steps on the Claude Desktop / Cowork tab of the MCP Access page:

The Connect your Claude client card in Dapta with the Claude Desktop / Cowork tab selected, showing three steps: get your Dapta plugin, install the plugin in Claude Desktop, and start using it, plus a note that the plugin works in Claude Cowork and Claude Code
The Claude Desktop / Cowork tab on the MCP Access page. The steps below match what Dapta shows here.

Step 1: Get your Dapta plugin. In the one-time key dialog that appears right after you mint, click Download Claude Desktop plugin (.zip). This downloads dapta-ai-plugin.zip with your key and skills inside.

The Save your new MCP key dialog showing the API key, a Download Claude Desktop plugin button, the Claude Code connect command, an acknowledgment checkbox, and a Close button
The one-time key dialog. Click Download Claude Desktop plugin to get your personalized plugin.

Already closed the dialog, or already have a key? You cannot download the plugin again from an existing key. Revoke the current key and mint a new one to get a fresh plugin. Only one active key is allowed per workspace.

Step 2: Install the plugin in Claude Desktop. Open Claude Desktop and go to Settings, then Customize, then Personal plugins. Click the + button, then Upload local plugin. Drag in the dapta-ai-plugin.zip you downloaded.

Upload the zip as-is. Do not unzip it first. Claude Desktop expects the packaged .zip.

Step 3: Click Upload, then toggle the plugin on. The MCP connects automatically and all skills load. There is no connector to add and no OAuth to approve.

Step 4: Start using it. Open Claude Cowork and ask anything about your Dapta workspace. Claude automatically uses the skills and the key bundled in the plugin. For example:

Create a voice agent in Dapta

and the create-voice-agent skill takes over.

Where the plugin works. The plugin runs in Claude Cowork and Claude Code today. It does not work in the regular Claude.ai chat.

Next step

You are connected and the skills are already loaded, no separate bundle step needed for Desktop. Run a quick check to confirm everything works.
