Getting started

Papercliped connects Claude (and ChatGPT) to your Paperclip. You keep control: you choose how much the AI may do, and you can cut access at any time.

What you need

• A Paperclip that is reachable over the internet at an https:// address (for example https://workforce.example.com). Private, local and http:// addresses are refused on purpose.
• A Claude account that can add connectors, or Claude Code.

Connect from Claude

1. In Claude open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
2. Use the address https://papercliped.kpnsolute.com/mcp and click Connect.
3. On the Papercliped page choose Connect your Paperclip, enter your Paperclip's address, and approve the request in your Paperclip.
4. Pick a username (see below). Papercliped then shows your secret key once. Save it in a password manager.
5. Choose how much to allow (see Permissions) and click Allow.
6. Ask Claude something like "List my Paperclip agents."

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http papercliped https://papercliped.kpnsolute.com/mcp

Or install the plugin: /plugin marketplace add OpenSourced/papercliped, then /plugin install papercliped@papercliped.

Run it yourself (npm)

npx papercliped@beta

This starts a local server for one Paperclip, using PAPERCLIP_API_URL and PAPERCLIP_API_KEY.

ChatGPT

Papercliped publishes an OpenAPI description at https://papercliped.kpnsolute.com/openapi.json for GPT Actions. See ChatGPT setup.

See Create your account for every screen in detail.

Your username

• 6 to 32 characters.
• At least one number or one of these symbols: . # _.
• Letters, numbers and only those three symbols. Every username is unique.

Signing in again

• With your secret key: enter your username and secret key.
• Without it: choose Connect your Paperclip and approve again. Papercliped recognises you as the same Paperclip user, signs you back in to the same account, and lets you make a new secret key.
