Connect iiiftools to Claude
iiiftools connects to Claude as a custom connector (a remote MCP server). You set it up once on the web (claude.ai) or the Claude desktop app — not the phone apps. Once added, it is usable from your other devices.
Requirements
Section titled “Requirements”- An iiiftools account.
- A Claude plan that allows custom connectors (Free, Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise). On Free, you can add a single custom connector.
Add the connector (Pro / Max, personal)
Section titled “Add the connector (Pro / Max, personal)”- In Claude, open Settings → Connectors (also reachable via Customize → Connectors).
- Select + (Add connector), then Add custom connector.
- Paste the Connector URL
https://iiiftools.pangur.io/mcp. - Select Add, then Connect.
- A browser window opens for sign-in — authenticate with your iiiftools account.
Add the connector (Team / Enterprise)
Section titled “Add the connector (Team / Enterprise)”An Owner adds it for the organisation first:
- Go to Organization settings → Connectors.
- Select Add, hover Custom, then choose Web.
- Paste
https://iiiftools.pangur.io/mcpand select Add.
Members then enable it: Customize → Connectors → iiiftools (Custom) → Connect, and authenticate with their own iiiftools account.
Use it
Section titled “Use it”Enable the connector in a chat and paste a viewer URL:
Resolve https://viewer.library.wales/4397453 and show me folio 12 — then transcribe it.
Claude calls resolve, browses the canvas list, fetches the page inline, and reads it. For
sandboxed contexts (the Claude apps), inline delivery is the reliable path — the image
arrives inside the tool response, no outbound fetch needed.
