How to connect Claude Code

Claude on the web and Desktop

Add it once — Bridgerator then also shows up in the Claude mobile app.

  1. Add the connector

    In Claude open Customize → Connectors, press + → Add custom connector and paste the server URL (below).

  2. Sign in to Bridgerator

    Press Connect — the Bridgerator sign-in page opens. Sign in with Google or e-mail: your account is created on the spot, free.

  3. Connect your PC

    On the PC paste one command (below) into PowerShell, no admin rights. In the tab with the code press “Connect this computer”.

  4. Ask Claude

    In a new chat check that Bridgerator is on in the tools menu, and ask for something on your PC.

Server URL
https://mcp.bridgerator.recondeck.com/mcp
Command for the PC (PowerShell)
& ([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://bridgerator.recondeck.com/install-latest.ps1)))

The Claude Free plan allows one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise an organization owner adds it (Organization settings → Connectors), and members press Connect on their side.

Claude Code

Two steps in the terminal — and Bridgerator is there in all your projects.

  1. Add the server:
    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user bridgerator https://mcp.bridgerator.recondeck.com/mcp
  2. In Claude Code type /mcp, pick bridgerator → Authenticate and sign in to Bridgerator in the browser.
  3. Connect your PC if you haven't yet — the command above.

No browser (a server, CI)? Use a personal access key.

Use cases

What Claude can do on your PC

Files, search, the PowerShell and cmd terminal, processes, Word/Excel/PDF reports, a PC check and screenshots — on any connected Windows PC, by name. Copy a request and change the folders to yours.

DocumentsFind every invoice PDF in Documents from this year and make an Excel table: date, supplier, amount.

DiskWhy is my C: drive almost full? Show the 20 biggest folders and what is safe to clean up. Don't delete anything yet.

  • Outbound connection only. No inbound ports on the PC, no admin rights.
  • Recycle Bin and Undo. Simple deletes go to the Recycle Bin and a file gets a copy before it changes — “Undo AI changes” puts it back.
  • Your rules. Nothing is restricted by default; when you want, add a folder list, read-only folders, confirmations on the PC, or turn the terminal off.
  • Contents not stored. Files and command output pass through the server and are not saved; TLS in transit (not end-to-end).

Questions

Is it the same account as for ChatGPT?

Yes. Sign in with the same Bridgerator account and Claude sees the same computers. Tool calls count the same in every app: 10,000 a month per account on Free.

Where do I sign in — Claude or Bridgerator?

In Bridgerator. Claude opens our sign-in page and gets access to Bridgerator only, not to your Google account.

Can I use it from my phone?

Yes: a connector added on the web or in Claude Desktop also works in the Claude mobile app. The PC has to be on.

Do I need to put an MCP server into the Claude Desktop config file?

No. Bridgerator is a remote MCP server: you add it as a custom connector, no config file needed. Local MCP servers from the Claude Desktop config file are a separate option and work only on that same PC.

Is my PC open to the internet?

No. The bridge on the PC connects out to the Bridgerator server (outbound only): no inbound ports are opened, and you need no public IP and no admin rights.
