Troubleshooting Claude

Members on a Team or Enterprise plan cannot add the connector
On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner adds custom connectors in Organization settings, then Connectors. Members then connect it with their own account.
The Free plan only allows one custom connector
One is enough: your Metorial URL carries every app your team approves, so you never need a second connector.
Tools do not show up in a chat
Connectors are switched on per conversation. Open the + menu in the chat, choose Connectors, and turn Metorial on.
