Setup in Claude instructions
  1. Open the connector settings. Sign in to Claude’s Connectors page, or select Customize → Connectors in Claude.
  2. Add Velio. Click + → Add custom connector. Enter Velio as the name and paste the Server URL from this guide into the remote MCP server URL field.
  3. Add the client ID. Open Advanced settings. Paste velio-public into OAuth Client ID. Leave OAuth Client Secret blank.
  4. Connect your account. Click Add, then Connect beside Velio. Sign in to Velio and review and approve the requested access.
  5. Enable it in a chat. Start a new chat. Click + → Connectors and switch on Velio. Try the example below.
  6. Check that it works.

    Send this in a chat with Velio enabled, replacing the brackets with your topic:

    Use Velio to find five outlier videos about [your topic] and explain what I can learn from them.

    Look for Velio being used as a tool and video results from it. If your assistant only gives general advice, check that Velio is connected and selected for that chat.

  7. Having trouble?

    Missing a setup option? Use the web version on a computer. Check your plan and ask your workspace administrator about custom connector access.

    Client ID or sign-in error? Check that the ID is exactly velio-public, with no spaces, and the client secret is empty. If your saved Claude connector has the wrong details, remove it and add it again.

    Still stuck? Email hello@velio.co with the assistant you’re using and the error message.

Using a team account? A workspace owner must add Velio through Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web first. Each member then connects their own Velio account.
