10 Claude connectors that make Claude actually do things

The reel showed 5. Here are all 10: what each one does, what it really costs, how to add it, and one prompt to try. At the end there is a single setup prompt for all of them.

01Perplexity

Claude searches the web right now and answers with links you can check.

Cost: Needs a Perplexity API key. API usage is paid (pay as you go).

claude mcp add perplexity --env PERPLEXITY_API_KEY=your_key -- npx -y @perplexity-ai/mcp-server

Try:

Research the 3 newest changes to the Instagram algorithm this month. Give sources for every point.

02Firecrawl

Turns a page into clean markdown or JSON, and its Branding format pulls colours, fonts and logo. Use it to understand a site, not to copy someone's design or content.

Cost: Free starter credits, then paid plans. Needs a Firecrawl API key.

claude mcp add firecrawl --env FIRECRAWL_API_KEY=your_key -- npx -y firecrawl-mcp

Try:

Scrape the pricing pages of these 3 competitors and make a comparison table: plan, price, limits.

03PostHog

Claude reads your PostHog data: which errors hit users, where they drop off in a funnel, and it can create feature flags. Code fixes come as pull requests you review. It does not change your site on its own.

Cost: Generous free tier. Needs a PostHog project.

Add it: Add it from Claude → Settings → Connectors → Browse, or follow PostHog's MCP docs.

Try:

Which step of my checkout funnel loses the most users this week, and what errors happened there?

04Playwright

Opens pages, clicks, fills forms and tests your site. Made by Microsoft, open source.

Cost: Free.

claude mcp add playwright -- npx @playwright/mcp@latest

Try:

Open localhost:3000/contact, fill the form with test data, submit it and tell me if anything breaks.

05Composio

One connector for Gmail, Slack, Notion, Calendar, GitHub and many more. You still log in and approve each app once, the first time Claude uses it.

Cost: Free tier to start; paid plans for heavy use.

Add it: Sign up at composio.dev, copy your MCP URL, then Claude → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.

Try:

Find unread emails from clients this week and post a summary in my #work Slack channel.

06Context7

Stops Claude using old code examples: it pulls the current docs for the library you're using.

Cost: Free (an optional free API key gives higher limits).

claude mcp add context7 -- npx -y @upstash/context7-mcp

Try:

Build a login page with the latest Next.js version. use context7

07GitHub

Claude reads your code, opens issues, reviews and writes PRs.

Cost: Free with your GitHub account.

Add it: Claude → Settings → Connectors → Browse → GitHub.

Try:

List the open issues in my repo and draft a fix plan for the oldest bug.

08Notion

Claude searches, reads and writes pages in your Notion workspace.

Cost: Free with your Notion account.

Add it: Claude → Settings → Connectors → Browse → Notion.

Try:

Turn my 'Ideas' page into a 7-day content plan in a new Notion page.

09Supabase

Official Claude connector: create tables, run queries, check logs on your Supabase project. Use a dev project first, not production.

Cost: Free tier available.

Add it: Claude → Settings → Connectors → Browse → Supabase.

Try:

Create a 'leads' table with name, email, source and created_at, and show me the SQL first.

10Figma

Claude reads frames, colours and components from your Figma file to build matching code.

Cost: Full features need the right Figma plan/seat; check your plan.

Add it: Claude → Settings → Connectors → Browse → Figma (or Figma's MCP docs).

Try:

Build this Figma frame as a responsive HTML page using its exact colours and spacing.

★One setup prompt for all 10

Paste this into Claude Code. It walks you through each connector, asks before installing anything, and keeps your API keys out of the chat.

You are helping me add MCP connectors to Claude Code, one at a time.
The connectors: Perplexity, Firecrawl, PostHog, Playwright, Composio, Context7, GitHub, Notion, Supabase, Figma.

For each one:
1. Tell me in one line what it does and whether it needs an account or API key (and if it's paid).
2. Ask me "add it? yes/no" and skip it if I say no.
3. If it needs a key, tell me exactly where to get it and ask me to set it as an environment variable myself. Never ask me to paste a key into this chat and never print a key.
4. Give me the exact command, run it after I confirm, then run `claude mcp list` to check it connected.
5. If something fails, show me the error and fix it before moving on.

Start with Playwright and Context7 (free, no key), then the rest.
