This is the short path from zero to “Claude just made me an image with AiWings.” Work through the checklist once; after that, every chat can call your image tools until you disconnect.
Before you start
- A Claude.ai account that allows custom connectors.
- An AiWings account (Google sign-in).
- Credits on AiWings if you plan to generate more than a trial balance allows.
- Use the primary domain URL that actually serves. Avoid a host that only redirects.
Step 1. Open Claude’s custom connector dialog
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors (or Customize). Choose Add custom connector. You can also start from Claude deep links that open the connector UI, then complete the fields manually if needed.
Step 2. Name it and paste the MCP URL
Name the connector AiWings so you recognize it later. Paste:
https://aiwings.io/api/mcpConfirm this matches what your AiWings dashboard shows. If your environment uses another official host that serves without a 30x redirect, use that instead, but prefer one canonical URL team-wide.
Step 3. Connect and authorize
- Click Connect in Claude.
- When the browser opens AiWings, sign in if prompted.
- Review what access Claude is requesting and click Allow.
- Return to Claude. The connector should appear as connected with tools listed.
Step 4. Generate a first image
Start a chat (enable the connector for that conversation if Claude asks). Try:
Generate a soft product photo of a ceramic mug on a sunlit wooden table, natural light, 1:1.Claude should call AiWings tools and show the result in-thread. If generation fails for credits, open the AiWings dashboard billing page and top up.
Checklist if something fails
- Connector shows no tools: disconnect, recheck URL (no trailing junk, no www if www only redirects).
- Authorize window fails: allow popups; complete Google sign-in fully.
- 401 / auth errors: disconnect in Claude and in AiWings connected apps, then reconnect.
- No image returns: ask Claude what tool error it saw; check credit balance.
Optional defaults
In AiWings defaults settings, pick your usual model and resolution. Claude can omit overrides so most images match your savings profile without re-explaining every time.
FAQ
Where do I find the AiWings MCP URL?
Sign in to AiWings and copy the connector URL from the dashboard connect section (or use https://aiwings.io/api/mcp on the primary domain that does not redirect).
Do I need an API key?
For Claude.ai, use the OAuth connector flow. Legacy API keys are for older desktop-style setups only.
