# Connect Claude to Terminal49

> Install the Terminal49 connector from the Claude Directory to query live shipment, container, and ETA tracking data in Claude with OAuth sign-in.

Connect Claude to the Terminal49 MCP server so it can answer questions with live container and shipment tracking data.

<Note>
  **No API key required.** The Terminal49 MCP server supports OAuth 2.1. When you connect, Claude opens a browser sign-in page. Log in with your Terminal49 credentials to finish.
</Note>

<Tip>
  Using Claude Code? See the [Claude Code guide](/mcp/setup/claude-code) — it's one command from your terminal.
</Tip>

## Add Terminal49 from the Claude Directory

Terminal49 is available in the [Claude Directory](https://claude.ai/directory/connectors/terminal49). Open the listing in Claude, then select **Add to Claude**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Terminal49 listing">
    Go to the [Terminal49 connector in the Claude Directory](https://claude.ai/directory/connectors/terminal49).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign in to Terminal49">
    Select **Add to Claude**. Claude opens the Terminal49 sign-in page; log in and approve access to the account you want to use.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the connector in a chat">
    In a new chat, open the tools menu and make sure **Terminal49** is enabled. Then ask:

    > "Using Terminal49, search for container CAIU1234567 and summarize its status."
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Use a custom connector instead

If your organization requires a custom connector, use `https://mcp.terminal49.com` as the URL. In Claude, go to **Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector**, enter `Terminal49` as the name, and leave the advanced OAuth fields empty. Claude registers itself automatically.

## Test your connection

Ask Claude:

> "List the tools available in the Terminal49 MCP server and what they're for."

Claude should list tools such as `search_container`, `track_container`, and `get_container`. See the [tools reference](/mcp/home#tools-reference) for the full list, and [Test Numbers](/api-docs/useful-info/test-numbers) for containers you can use during development.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | How to fix |
| - | - |
| Connector fails to add | Open the [Terminal49 Claude Directory listing](https://claude.ai/directory/connectors/terminal49) and try again; for a custom connector, confirm the URL is exactly `https://mcp.terminal49.com` (no path) |
| Sign-in window never opens | Pop-up blocked — allow pop-ups for claude.ai and retry |
| `401 Unauthorized` after connecting | Disconnect and reconnect the connector to refresh the OAuth token |
| Connector not selectable in chat | Enable it in the chat's tools menu; on Team/Enterprise ask an Owner to enable it for the organization |
