Add udu as a custom connector so Claude can work with your udu projects. You'll need your udu API key.

    In Claude, go to Settings → Connectors, click Add, and choose Add custom connector.

  2. Enter the name and URL

    Name: udu
    URL: https://www.udu.io/mcp/
    Click Continue.

  3. Keep “No sign-in” selected

    Claude detects that udu uses an API key instead of OAuth. Leave No sign-in selected.
