Get started here

Opens a new Claude chat with the setup prompt typed in. Press Enter: it signs you up if you are new, connects Vamo with your sign-in and runs your first search. Or copy the prompt and paste it into Claude or Claude Code.

Start setup in Claude

Add it directly

Works in claude.ai on the web and on mobile. Click Add to Claude: Claude opens with Vamo's name and address filled in. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in with Vamo.

If it does not open, add it by hand: in Settings > Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it Vamo and paste this address.

Managed by your team

On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds Vamo once and anyone can turn it on: Add Vamo for your team. If your company manages Claude Code, ask your admin to allow mcp.vamotalent.ai.
