Claude Connector Course

ABOUT THE COURSE:
Out of the box, Claude only knows what you type or upload. Connectors change that by letting Claude securely read from and act in your other apps, so it can find a file in your Drive, summarise today's emails, check your calendar or look up an issue in GitHub. This course explains how connectors work, walks you through setting up the most useful ones, and then teaches you to build and test a simple custom connector as an MCP server. We finish with security, permissions and rolling connectors out to a team.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
• Understand connectors and the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Set up and use Google Drive, Gmail and Calendar with Claude
• Connect work apps such as Slack, Notion and GitHub
• Build and test a simple MCP server in Python
• Manage permissions and defend against prompt injection
• Plan a safe connector rollout for a team or organisation
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
• Video lessons: an HD video for every topic
• Transcripts: the full written transcript of every video
• PDF notes: downloadable notes for every week
• Live classes: one live class with Q&A every week, with recordings added after class

You get instant access to all video lessons, full transcripts, downloadable PDF notes and the live classes for this course for as long as your plan is active. Access is automatic - no manual approval needed.

How does the 12-month plan work?+

This course is sold as the Progiez Cloud Business plan: a 12-month plan paid monthly by autopay. Month 1 costs ₹1,299 + 18% GST (₹1,532.82). For months 2 to 12, ₹2,099 + 18% GST (₹2,476.82) is charged automatically each month through Razorpay (card or UPI AutoPay), ₹28,777.84 in total.

What happens when my month ends?+

Autopay renews your access automatically every month for the 12 months of the plan. If you cancel autopay, your access continues until the end of the month you have already paid for. If a renewal payment fails, Razorpay retries it for a few days; access pauses if the payment still cannot be collected. The plan ends after month 12.

Do I need a paid Claude subscription?+

Recommended. Several connectors, including custom connectors, are available only on paid Claude plans, and on Team and Enterprise plans an administrator may need to enable them. We explain what each plan supports before every setup lesson.

Who is this course for?+
