Transition Guide
Add Claude alongside ChatGPT.
You don't have to leave ChatGPT. Claude Desktop's MCP support unlocks the deepest ASURIQ integration: Hands local execution, filesystem access, and tools that run on your machine. Use both: ChatGPT with the extension, Claude with MCP.

MCP integration (deepest ASURIQ access) · Hands Local execution · Full 100+ tool library on your machine · Two independent AI perspectives
1Create a free Claude account
Visit claude.ai and sign up. You can use Claude’s free tier to start, or subscribe to Claude Pro for higher usage limits. Your ASURIQ subscription works with both.
2Install Claude Desktop
Download from claude.ai/download. Available for Windows and macOS. This is different from the web version. The desktop app supports MCP, which is what unlocks the full ASURIQ tool stack.
3Add ASURIQ MCP to Claude Desktop
Edit your Claude Desktop config file and add ASURIQ as an MCP server. See the Claude Desktop transition guide for the exact configuration.
Once configured, Claude can use all ASURIQ tools natively: verify claims, run cognitive frameworks, execute code quality reviews, remember across sessions, and act on the real world through Hands.
4Keep using ChatGPT with the extension
Nothing changes about your ChatGPT workflow. The browser extension still checks every ChatGPT response. You now have two surfaces:
ChatGPT + Extension: Quick conversations with automatic verification. Great for everyday use.
Claude + MCP: Deep work sessions where your AI needs to act: write files, run commands, deploy code, research across sessions. The power user mode.
Claude + MCP: Deep work sessions where your AI needs to act: write files, run commands, deploy code, research across sessions. The power user mode.
Not a replacement, an addition. ChatGPT and Claude have different strengths. ChatGPT excels at breadth and plugins. Claude excels at long-context analysis and MCP-based tool use. ASURIQ works on both. Use the right tool for the right job.
