Connect your Claude
CrateDesk has no AI inside. Your team's own Claude identifies items, spots fakes and estimates resale value; CrateDesk keeps the pipeline, margins, price history and your public buy-list live.

- In Claude (web or desktop), open Settings → Connectors (also under Customize → Connectors).
- Click Add custom connector. Name it
CrateDeskand paste the URL above. No OAuth needed. Click Add. - In a new chat, open the tools menu and make sure CrateDesk is switched on.
- Try: “Someone on OLX in Pune is selling a boxed PAL Super Nintendo with 2 controllers for ₹9,000. Add it to my CrateDesk pipeline and tell me if it's worth buying for resale.” You can also paste a screenshot or a photo of a record sleeve.
- Open the pipeline — the lead is there with its margin. Edit it; ask Claude to “review my pipeline” and it sees your edits.
