Claude Connector
Connect Claude to your Sajel data with an API key and let it read and build boards.
What the connector is
Sajel hosts an MCP (Model Context Protocol) endpoint. Any MCP client can connect to it with a Sajel API key, and Claude is the one we support end to end: Claude Code, claude.ai custom connectors, and Claude Desktop.
Once connected, Claude can list your workspaces, read board schemas and records, create bases, boards, fields and records, link records, run views, and inspect automations. Everything runs through your API key's permissions, so Claude can only reach what the key allows.
The connector exposes 22 tools plus 4 built-in skills. There is no separate sign-in: the key is the login.
Get an API key
Open Settings
Go to Settings, then API keys, and click New key.
Pick permissions
Choose a preset (read only, read and write) or set exact per-resource permissions. You can also limit the key to specific workspaces or bases.
Copy the key
The key is shown once, right after creation, together with the setup steps for each Claude client. Copy it somewhere safe.
Keys are hashed on our side and cannot be recovered. If you lose one, revoke it and create a new key.
Connect from Claude Code
In your terminal, run the command shown on the key reveal screen. It looks like this:
claude mcp add --transport http sajel <your MCP endpoint> --header "x-api-key: <your key>"The exact endpoint URL is shown in Settings, API keys, when you create a key. After running the command, type /mcp inside Claude Code to confirm sajel is connected, then ask it to build something.
Connect from claude.ai and Claude Desktop
claude.ai (web): go to Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector. Name it Sajel, paste the MCP endpoint URL, and add a header named x-api-key with your key as the value. claude.ai runs in the cloud, so it needs the public endpoint, not a local address.
Claude Desktop: open Settings, Developer, Edit Config, and add Sajel under mcpServers with the endpoint URL and the x-api-key header. Save and restart Claude Desktop. Requires a recent version with HTTP MCP support.
What Claude can do
| Area | Tools |
|---|---|
| Workspaces and bases | list_workspaces, create_workspace, list_bases, create_base |
| Boards and fields | list_boards, create_board, get_board_schema, create_field, create_view, list_views |
| Records | list_records, get_record, create_record, create_records, update_record, delete_record |
| Relations | link_records, unlink_records, get_linked_records |
| Automations and files | list_automations, read_attachment |
| Everything else | sajel_request, a scoped passthrough for any supported endpoint |
Four skills arrive as slash commands the moment you connect: build_app scaffolds a full working app, seed_data fills boards with realistic sample data, summarize_board reports on a board's contents, and use_attachments works with files on records.
