Set up Tana for your AI agent
Paste one line into your AI. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor connect themselves to Tana; in Claude and ChatGPT it hands you the shortest path to Connect. Or follow the steps for your app below.
Fetch and execute the instructions to set me up for Tana from https://tana.inc/agent-setup/prompt.mdClaude (desktop app or claude.ai)
Add the Tana plugin. It brings the Tana connector and Tana's skills for meetings (prep, recaps, prior art).
- Open Customize, then Plugins, then Discover. Search for "Tana" and press Add.
- Open the Tana plugin, go to its Connectors tab and press Connect next to Tana. Sign in to Tana in the window that opens.
Already connected Tana as a connector? Add the plugin anyway: the connector alone has no skills. If Tana then shows up twice under Customize, then Connectors, remove the one the plugin did not add.
No Plugins page, or no Tana under Discover? Connect only the connector: Customize, then Connectors, search for "Tana" and press Connect. Not listed there either? Customize, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, then paste https://home.tana.inc/mcp and press Connect.
ChatGPT
Search for "Tana" in ChatGPT's apps and press Connect, then sign in to Tana. Not listed yet? Settings, then Connectors, then Developer mode, then add https://home.tana.inc/mcp.
Coding agents
Claude Code
Paste the one-line prompt and the agent runs the install itself:
claude plugin marketplace add tanainc/tana-plugin
claude plugin install tana@tanaIf plugins are unavailable, it runs this instead:
claude mcp add tana --transport http https://home.tana.inc/mcpThen run /mcp, choose the Tana server and pick Authenticate; the browser opens Tana's sign-in.
Codex
Paste the one-line prompt and the agent runs the install itself:
codex plugin marketplace add tanainc/tana-plugin
codex plugin add tana@tanaCodex asks you to sign in to Tana on first use.
Cursor
Paste the one-line prompt and the agent runs the install itself, adding Tana to your MCP configuration (~/.cursor/mcp.json, or the project's .cursor/mcp.json):
{ "mcpServers": { "tana": { "url": "https://home.tana.inc/mcp" } } }Or open the Cursor install link.
Any other MCP client
Add a streamable-HTTP MCP server named tana with URL https://home.tana.inc/mcp. No API key; the client completes OAuth in the browser.
What this connects
Reading: your Tana meetings (transcripts, screen-share screenshots, attendees, attached docs), documents, tasks and calendar. Writing: every change becomes a proposal you approve inside Tana; nothing is changed silently. Details: Use Tana with Claude.
