Connect Claude to Facktum

Claude on the web can work with the case you pin in Facktum on your Mac: read it, cite its pages and, if you allow it, propose findings. Last updated November 2, 2026.

What you need

  • Facktum 0.9 or later on your Mac (macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon), open, with a Facktum key that shows Valid key.
  • A Claude plan that lets you add connectors.

1. On your Mac

In Facktum, open Knowledge Bases & Connections and turn on Share the pinned case with Claude on the web. Choose whether Claude may only read the case, or read it and propose findings.

Pin the case you want Claude to work with: in the sidebar, under Conversation case, choose Pin. The card then says Offering and the case's name.

2. In Claude

Add the Facktum connector for your account's region. The card in Facktum shows which one is yours.

  • Facktum US, for accounts in the United States: in Claude, open Customize → Connectors, find Facktum US in the directory, and connect it. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an Owner adds it for the organization first; members can request it. If you added Facktum US by its address before, that connection keeps working.
  • Facktum UK & EU, for accounts in the United Kingdom and Europe: until its directory listing is published, add it as a custom connector with the address https://mcp-eu.facktum.com/mcp.

Claude Code connects by address: claude mcp add --transport http facktum https://mcp.facktum.com/mcp, or https://mcp-eu.facktum.com/mcp for UK & EU accounts.

When Claude asks you to connect, sign in at app.facktum.com with the email address of your Facktum account, and allow your Mac. Keep Facktum open with a case pinned while you do: otherwise the page says that no Mac is online.

3. Working with a case

Claude works with the pinned case only. Pin another case and Claude sees that one from its next call. While another case is open in Facktum, Claude is asked to open the pinned one there first. Facktum must be running for Claude to reach the case.

What Claude can do:

  • Case overview: the case's document types, documents and people, its summary, and a search across its pages. Reads only.
  • Case timeline: the dated events. Reads only.
  • Case pages: reads a page, lists the pages you marked important, and can mark a page important.
  • Findings: reads findings and, if you allow it, proposes new ones, each citing its pages. Findings can be filed, starred or archived, never deleted.
  • Report sections: organises findings into the sections of your report.
  • Show in Facktum: opens a page, a citation or a finding in Facktum on your Mac.
  • Search PubMed: searches published clinical literature. It sends search terms, not your case’s pages.

Privacy

Your case stays on your Mac. Pages travel through Facktum's relay in your account's region only while a call runs, and the relay stores nothing. See the privacy policy.

Disconnect

Turn off sharing or choose Disconnect on the card in Facktum, and Claude can no longer reach your Mac. You can also remove the connector in Claude at any time.
