Getting Started with Connectors on Claude AI

Claude becomes far more useful once it can work with the tools you already use. Connectors are how that happens — linking Claude to your files, email, notes and other apps so it can read from and act on your real work, rather than everything being copied in and out by hand.

This self-paced course is a practical introduction to connectors for anyone who already uses Claude and wants to get more from it. It assumes no technical background and builds naturally on an introductory Claude course.

Across twelve short modules you'll cover what a connector is and the problem it solves, the MCP standard that connectors run on, the difference between ready-made directory connectors and custom ones, how to add your first connector, read versus write access and how to grant it safely, how Claude chooses which connector to use, managing tool access to keep conversations efficient, interactive connectors, privacy and permissions, an accessible first look at custom connectors, and a practical plan for building your own first workflow.

Each module ends with a short knowledge check to reinforce the material, and a downloadable certificate of completion is issued once you reach the pass mark.

Course features:

• Self-paced online learning, accessible in your web browser and yours to keep
• Twelve focused modules, approximately 20–25 minutes in total
• Knowledge checks throughout to confirm understanding
• A personalised PDF certificate of completion
• No prior technical knowledge required

Suitable for professionals, teams and individuals who want to use Claude effectively with their own tools and data.
