Claude

Connect ReadingTrack to Claude so you can save explanations and build reading lists from any conversation.

claude.aiClaude desktop & mobile

Add ReadingTrack from Claude's connector directory, or as a custom connector by URL. Once connected, it works in every chat on claude.ai and the Claude desktop and mobile apps.

#What you need

A ReadingTrack account. It's free, and it's created the first time you sign in with Google or GitHub.
A Claude plan that can use connectors. On Team and Enterprise plans, an owner may need to allow ReadingTrack first.

#Connect

Open connectors
In Claude, open Customize → Connectors. Search the directory for ReadingTrack, or choose Add custom connector.
For a custom connector, enter ReadingTrack's details
Name: ReadingTrack

Remote MCP server URL:
```
https://www.readingtrack.com/api/mcp
```
Leave the OAuth settings at their default (Claude's published identity). You don't need a client ID or secret.
Connect and sign in
Choose Connect. A ReadingTrack sign-in page opens — sign in with the provider you use for ReadingTrack and approve the permissions.
Turn it on in a chat
In a conversation, open the tools menu and make sure ReadingTrack is enabled.

Menu names in Claude can vary by plan and app version. Anthropic's guide to custom connectors has the latest steps.

#Try it

“Explain how Raft leader election works, then save the explanation to ReadingTrack.”
“Save that last code block to ReadingTrack as a snippet called retry with jitter.”
“Make a ReadingTrack list called Intro to databases from the links in this message, in this order: …”

Claude asks before calling a tool the first time. Approve it, and Claude replies with a link to the saved item.

#Tools

Tool	What it does	Access
`save_article`	Saves Markdown you choose as a private article.	Write
`save_snippet`	Saves a short excerpt, note or code block.	Write
`create_reading_list`	Creates a private, ordered list of links, saved items and notes.	Write
`add_to_reading_list`	Appends items to one of your lists without duplicating them.	Write
`get_reading_lists`	Shows your list names, so Claude can pick one. No article text is read.	Read

None of these tools can delete, publish or share anything. Everything you save stays private to your account. See the privacy policy for what's stored and for how long.

#Troubleshooting

Sign-in fails or loops. Sign in with the same provider you used to create your ReadingTrack account. Another provider opens a separate, empty library.
"Authorization failed" after changing settings. Remove the connector in Claude and add it again. Claude doesn't let you change sign-in settings on an existing connector.
Something else. Contact us from the support page with what you asked Claude and what happened.

#Disconnect

Remove the connector in Claude's settings, and revoke access in ReadingTrack under Settings → Connected AI Assistants.
