Homespun

Connect Claude to Homespun

This is the shortest way in, and the only one that works on a phone: nothing to install, no terminal, no API key. Claude supports custom connectors on the web, desktop and mobile apps, on the free plan as well as the paid ones. You do it once and every Claude surface signed in to the same account picks it up.

  1. Open Claude's add-connector link

    On the web, one link opens the Add custom connector dialog with the name and the URL already filled in, so there is nothing to type. On a phone that link opens the Claude app instead, so copy it and paste it into a browser tab. In the desktop and mobile apps there is no deep link, so open Settings and then Connectors (on mobile, your profile first) and choose Add custom connector.

    Open Claude's add-connector link, which lands you on the Add custom connector dialog with Homespun and its URL already filled in. In the desktop and mobile apps, open Settings then Connectors and choose it there.

    On a phone that link opens the Claude app instead of the settings screen. Copy the address above and paste it into a browser tab.

  2. Check the name and URL, then save

    The web link fills both in for you, so just save it. In the desktop and mobile apps, name the connector Homespun and paste https://homespun.dev/mcp as its URL yourself, then save.

  3. Sign in and approve

    Click Connect. A Homespun window opens: sign in with your email using the magic link, then approve the consent screen. Claude shows the connector as Connected.

  4. Ask for the app you want

    Start a chat and describe the app in your own words. Claude builds it, hosts it on Homespun, and hands you back a link you can open on any device.

    Try it with something small: "Use Homespun to build us a grocery list the whole family can open, and give me the link." If you would rather start from something that already exists, browse the Homespun template gallery and ask Claude to install one for you.

The connector is bound to your Homespun account, so the apps you build from your laptop are the same apps you see from your phone. Remove it from Claude's connector settings at any time and its access is revoked immediately, without touching any other client you have connected.

If something goes wrong

The two most common snags are a blocked pop-up (the sign-in opens in a new window) and a shell that cannot find the homespun binary after installing it. The full troubleshooting list covers the rest, and the docs site explains what a connection can and cannot do.

What to build first

Describe what you want in your own words and your AI builds it. If you would rather start from something proven, install one from the template gallery and change it from the chat.
