# Claude.ai

> Connect Tyms MCP to Claude on the web so you can ask about your books in chat.

Use Claude.ai when you want to work with Tyms from a browser chat.

## Before you start

Decide which URL to use:

| Access                           | URL                            |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| Read-only (recommended to start) | `https://mcp.usetyms.com`      |
| Read + write                     | `https://mcp.usetyms.com/full` |

If Claude asks for a **Client ID**, enter:

```text theme={null}
usetyms-mcp-claude
