Connect Claude Code to Desklet

You need a Desklet account. 14 days free, no card.

With one command

Add Desklet in a terminal.
```
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user desklet https://desklet.io/mcp
```
In Claude Code, run /mcp, choose desklet and sign in.
```
/mcp
```

With the Desklet CLI and skill

For Claude Code on a computer where it runs shell commands.

Install the Desklet CLI with Homebrew, or with the install script where there is no Homebrew.

brew install --cask desklet-io/tap/desklet

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/desklet-io/desklet/master/install.sh | sh

Sign in once. The browser opens and asks which desks this computer sees and the mode. It shows up in Settings → Agents as Desklet CLI.
```
desklet login
```
Add the Desklet skill, which teaches Claude Code the CLI and its rules.
```
npx skills add desklet-io/desklet
```

When you sign in

Desklet asks which desks Claude Code may see, and whether it may only read (Read) or also put results on them (Read & add). Claude Code then shows up in Settings → Agents.

Try asking

“Check Desklet and review the draft I put on the Work desk.”
“Put the result on Desklet.”

If it doesn’t work

If Claude Code shows Desklet as not signed in, run:

claude mcp login desklet

What a connected agent can do

It never deletes anything, whichever way it connects.
It sees only the desks you choose.
You pick the mode: Read, where it only looks, or Read & add, where it also puts results on the desk.
You can disconnect it any time in Settings → Agents, or revoke an AI link from the desk’s ⋯ menu.
