The web app is fine. The desktop app is a completely different tool. MCP connects Claude to your files, repos, databases, and internal tools. This course shows you exactly how.

Most people use Claude at claude.ai and stop there. The desktop app unlocks a fundamentally different way of working — one where Claude has direct access to your file system, your code, your databases, and any tool you want to connect.
That access layer is called MCP (Model Context Protocol). It's an open standard that turns Claude into a true desktop AI agent. This course is a practical, step-by-step guide to using it.
No fluff. No theory. You'll install Claude Desktop, set up your first MCP server, and complete a real work task entirely through the app — by Day 4.
Claude reads your actual files. No copy-pasting. Just ask.
Train Claude on your domain once. It remembers every session.
Connect to GitHub, databases, Slack, and hundreds of other tools.
Build your own connections in Node.js. Any API, any internal tool.
Each lesson is 30–50 minutes. Every day builds directly on the last. By Day 5 you'll have connected Claude to tools most people don't know exist.
Install Claude Desktop, set up your account, understand why the app unlocks capabilities the web interface can't offer. Your first real conversation.
Create projects for different work areas. Write custom instructions that make Claude an expert in your domain. Add files and context that persist across every conversation.
Understand MCP from the ground up. Install filesystem, GitHub, and database MCP servers. Give Claude direct access to your local files and repos.
Artifacts for documents and code. Multi-turn analysis. Meeting prep, email drafting, report writing. Complete a real work task entirely through Claude Desktop.
Build your own MCP server in Node.js. Connect Claude to Slack, internal tools, any API. Security best practices. The future of agentic desktop AI.
