Italic in Claude

Italic works in Claude on the web, Claude Desktop, the Claude mobile apps, Cowork and Claude Code. Claude searches your Clips and Memos and answers from their text, saves notes from the conversation, and shows what your workflows drafted, through Italic's MCP server. Italic shares text, never audio, and Claude reaches only the Italic account you connect.

Connect ItalicCopy Anchor Link

https://app.italic.com/api/v1/mcp

On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner adds Italic first under Organization settings → Connectors, and then each member connects their own Italic account. Free plans can add one custom connector. On a phone, add Italic on the web or in Claude Desktop first.

Ask ClaudeCopy Anchor Link

• "What did I say about the Lisbon trip?"
• "What's my latest Italic Clip?"
• "Recap my Italic notes from this week."
• "Save these meeting notes to Italic."
• "Rename my book club memo to October book club."
• "What drafts are waiting in Italic?"
• "Open Italic."

Claude asks before Italic's tools run until you allow them, and always before anything that edits or deletes. Approving a workflow draft sends it through the account it was drafted for, such as your Gmail; Claude asks which draft first.

"Open Italic" shows Italic in the conversation as a card. Choose Open Italic for Home with search, recording details, Devices, Settings and Workflows.

The Italic pluginCopy Anchor Link

The Italic plugin adds skills that help Claude use Italic well: recapping a period into decisions, to-dos and open questions, and reviewing drafts one at a time. In Claude Code:

/plugin install italic --marketplace ShopItalic/claude-plugin

Claude CodeCopy Anchor Link

claude mcp add --transport http italic https://app.italic.com/api/v1/mcp

Then run /mcp and choose Authenticate.

Permissions and disconnectingCopy Anchor Link

On Italic's connection page you choose what Claude may do: read and search recording text, save, edit and delete recordings, see and change your profile, saved devices and preferences, see your workflows and connected apps, turn workflows on or off, and approve or discard drafts.

To disconnect, open Italic's Connectors → Agents → Claude and choose Disconnect, or remove Italic in Claude's Customize → Connectors. Disconnecting in Italic takes effect at once. To change permissions, disconnect and connect again.

TroubleshootingCopy Anchor Link

• "Couldn't reach the MCP server": check the URL is exactly https://app.italic.com/api/v1/mcp, with no trailing slash.
• "Authorization with the MCP server failed": the connection page was closed or timed out. Choose Connect again.
• Claude says Italic lacks a permission: disconnect Italic and connect it again, allowing that permission.
• Italic's app shows nothing after reloading a chat: ask "Open Italic" again.
