Relay Skills require the Relay MCP server to be connected in Claude Desktop (not the Claude web app). For Customize > Connectors, the MCP URL, and Merchant Dashboard sign-in, see Relay MCP Server. Gmail- and Sheets-based skills need existing connections on the Relay Connections tab—see Setting Up Connections.
Supported clients
Relay Skills are available only when using Claude with MCP configured as described on the Relay MCP Server page.
Additional clients may be supported in a future release.
How to invoke a skill
You can invoke a skill by describing your intent in plain language. You do not need to use an exact command or phrase. Claude matches your message to the most relevant skill and begins collecting any inputs it needs. You can provide inputs in any of the following ways.- All at once: Include all required details in your first message. Claude creates the workflow without asking follow-up questions.
- Partial: Provide some details and let Claude prompt you for the rest.
- None: State your general intent and Claude asks for each required input individually.
