    How to connect Context — ctxt.io to Claude

    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    create_contextShare text, markdown, code, or HTML as an auto-expiring ctxt.io link. For visual output (styled reports, tables, charts, diagrams) prefer format=html with self-contained HTML: inline CSS and inline SVG render fully; <script> is stripped server-side and JavaScript never runs, so keep it static. Free expiries: 5m, 30m, 1h (default), 8h, 1d — these return the share URL immediately. ttl=30d and the Pro options (name, password) cost $1 one-time: the link is created in a pending state and the result includes a payment_url a human can open in a browser to complete checkout (platforms enrolled for agentic payments receive an acp block instead and can pay programmatically); until payment the link lives 1 day without Pro features. Anyone with the link can read it. The returned delete_token authorizes deletion via delete_context — keep it private.
    read_contextFetch the content of an existing ctxt.io link. Accepts a full ctxt.io URL, a /3/<code> path, or a bare code. Password-protected links need the password argument.
    delete_contextDelete a ctxt.io link you created. Requires the delete_token returned by create_context. Immediately removes public access and requests backing-storage deletion. Destructive and not undoable — confirm with the user before calling.
