# Connect the Enhanced Experience to Claude Desktop

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Some organizations connect Claude Desktop (or similar assistants) to the enhanced MuleSoft
experience so developers can jump from conversational workflows into governed catalogs and policies
without leaving their preferred environment. Your IT team controls whether this integration is
available, which OAuth scopes apply, and which actions the assistant can initiate on your behalf.

## Before You Begin

- A supported Claude Desktop release and any enterprise controls your company applies to assistant
  software.

- Network access from your workstation to both the assistant vendor endpoints and MuleSoft endpoints
  your security team approved.

- An Anypoint Platform account.

- Mule Developer Generative AI User permission to send prompts to agents.

  For more information, see [Enhanced Experience Permissions](https://docs.mulesoft.com/general/exp-home-start#permissions).

## Administrator Configuration

- Identity and consent

  Map your Anypoint Platform identity to the assistant context and document which business groups
  can use the integration.

- Allowed actions

  Decide whether the workflow is read-only (for example opening catalog links) or triggers guarded
  operations, then enforce that with roles and internal process.

## Use the Integration

Follow the internal instructions your platform team published, for example a starter prompt, a
packaged connector, or a bookmark that opens the enhanced experience with the required query
parameters. In the browser, complete any additional sign-in or verification your organization
requires.

If the connection stops working after a client or policy update, check certificates, proxy settings,
and token expiry with your administrator before opening a support case.

## Work with the Enhanced Experience via MuleSoft MCP Server

Maintain velocity from your own work environment by executing end-to-end lifecycle tasks in the
enhanced experience using MuleSoft Platform MCP Server. Manage assets, run scanners, configure
gateways, handle governance, and more entirely in natural language from Claude Desktop, VS Code,
ChatGPT, Windsurf, and Cursor.
