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.md

Claude (desktop app or claude.ai)

  1. Open Settings, then Connectors, search for "Tana" and press Connect. Sign in to Tana in the window that opens. If Claude shows a "Connect Tana" card in the chat, that is the same thing: press it.
  2. Not listed yet? Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector, then paste https://home.tana.inc/mcp and press Connect.

For the Tana skills as well (meeting prep, recaps, prior art): Settings, then Plugins, then Add, then GitHub, then enter tanainc/tana-plugin. The plugin brings its own Tana connector, so you can remove the one you added in step 1 or 2.

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@tana

If plugins are unavailable, it runs this instead:

claude mcp add tana --transport http https://home.tana.inc/mcp

Then 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@tana

Codex 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.
