Getting started
Connect Claude — nothing to set up but one link
The easiest way in: no terminal and nothing to install, just a browser and one link pasted into a settings screen. Once that is done, Claude builds the app and puts it online from the chat. This lesson goes through it one step at a time.
Want a hand from the start? Erawan gets your first app online for free on Hobby and above.

1. Connect Claude to Erawan Cloud
No Claude account yet? Sign up free at claude.ai, no credit card needed. Then add Erawan Cloud as a connector with the guide for the way you use Claude. Every step has a picture.
- Claude in a browser: nothing to install.
- The Claude app on your computer: with an extra Project tied to a folder, for Pro and above.
At the end of the guide Claude reads your Erawan account back to you. Once it does, come back for the next step.
2. Say what you want
Start a new chat and describe what you want the way you would explain it to a person. No technical words needed, and ask for it to be put online in the same message. You can paste one of these to try.
If what comes back isn't quite right, say plainly what is wrong, such as “make the button bigger” or “I wanted a delete button too”. Claude changes it in the same chat, and you can keep going like this.
After you send it
Before the app goes online, Erawan checks the code, for example for a secret key left in it or a debug mode left on. If something turns up, Claude fixes it and sends it again. Within a few minutes you usually have a link, and anyone you send it to can open it. To see what else every deploy checks, read Introduction to Erawan Cloud.
If the first try doesn't work
You don't have to chase the problem down. Claude reads the error Erawan sends back, changes the code and tries again. If it is still stuck, say what the screen shows, and Claude reads the logs from there.
If Claude acts as if it has never heard of Erawan, start a new chat. A chat opened before you added the connector cannot see it. If you use Claude Cowork and see a 403, the fix is in the Claude Cowork lesson.
What it costs
An Erawan account is free. With one, websites are free with no end date, and your first app is free for 30 days. See every plan
If you connected without an account, the website you put online lasts 24 hours. To keep it, open the keep link Claude sends you and create a new account within that time. The website moves into the account, the link stays the same, and Claude stays connected. If you move it into an account you already have instead, you need to connect Claude again.
