# Connecting AI tools (MCP)

> Connect Claude and other AI tools to Runway through MCP.

Runway exposes a hosted MCP endpoint so Claude and other MCP-capable AI tools can read from your Runway model. Use it when you want an external assistant to search your model, read pages, inspect drivers, or calculate values without giving it write access.

## Setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the remote MCP server">
    In your AI client, add `https://api.runway.com/mcp` as a remote MCP server.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in to Runway">
    Your browser opens the Runway login flow through OAuth.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve access">
    Approve the connection. The client receives OAuth tokens, so there are no API keys to manage.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Claude setup example

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Claude settings">
    In Claude, open the settings area.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open connectors">
    Go to the connectors area.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a custom connector">
    Add a custom connector with `https://api.runway.com/mcp` as the URL.
  </Step>
</Steps>
