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 connector settings

    In Claude, open Settings and then Connectors. On the web that is claude.ai/settings/connectors; on mobile it is your profile, then Settings, then Connectors.

    Open Claude's Connectors settings, then choose Add custom connector.

  2. Paste the Homespun connector URL

    Name the connector Homespun and paste https://homespun.dev/mcp as its URL, then save.

    https://homespun.dev/mcp

  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 client that needs a restart before new tools show up. 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.
