# Connect Claude

This page is for **Claude in the browser** (claude.ai) and the **Home** tab in the Claude desktop app. **Claude Code** — including the **Code** tab in the Claude desktop app — uses a different setup. See [Connect Claude Code](/connect-mcp/claude-code).

::: warning Chartbuddy Hub MCP is not available here yet
Chartbuddy Hub connects over **local stdio MCP**. Claude in the browser and the desktop **Home** tab cannot reach a local Chartbuddy Hub process, and we do not ship a **remote MCP** endpoint yet — so regular Claude cannot connect to Chartbuddy Hub MCP today.

## What you can use instead

| Option | Best for |
|--------|----------|
| **[Claude Code](/connect-mcp/claude-code)** | Full Chartbuddy Hub MCP in the terminal or the desktop **Code** tab |
| **[Embed docs](https://chartbuddy.io/embed/docs/getting-started/)** | Charts inside Claude conversations via HTML artifacts and the `@chartbuddy.io/embed` widget |

For Embed, start with [`llms.txt`](https://unpkg.com/@chartbuddy.io/embed/llms.txt), then [Getting started](https://chartbuddy.io/embed/docs/getting-started/) and [Visual QA](https://chartbuddy.io/embed/docs/quality-assurance/visual-qa) in the Embed docs.
