🖥️Connect Claude Desktop & Cowork

Connect the Dapta MCP to Claude Desktop and Claude Cowork with a personalized plugin. No terminal, no connector URL, no OAuth: your key is baked into the plugin you download.

Claude Desktop and Claude Cowork connect to the Dapta MCP through a personalized plugin. When you create your key, Dapta builds a plugin (a .zip) with your key already inside. You upload that one file, install the connector, restart Claude, and you are done. Claude receives Dapta's workflow guidance automatically once connected, so there is nothing else to download.

You need to create your key first. The plugin is generated from the one-time key dialog. If you have not done that yet, see Create your API key.

---

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

Already closed the dialog, or already have a key? You cannot download the plugin again from an existing key. Revoke the current key and create 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, then toggle the plugin on.

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

---

Step 3: Open the plugin's Connectors tab and click Install next to dapta-ai to connect it. There is no OAuth to approve.

---

Step 4: Quit Claude fully with Cmd+Q, then reopen it so the connector starts. Closing the window is not enough: the connector only starts after a full quit and reopen.

---

Step 5: Confirm it works. Open Claude Cowork and ask something about your Dapta workspace. For example:

Create a voice agent in Dapta

Claude uses the Dapta connection automatically, no need to say which workspace, since your key is scoped to one workspace.

---

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 Claude already knows the Dapta workflows. Run a quick check to confirm everything works.
