Bring your wardrobe into Claude
Add Modebase to Claude and it can see the clothes you own, so every answer is built from your own wardrobe and not from the wardrobe of a stranger.
What can you do with Modebase in Claude?
Claude is good at applying what it is given, and it has never been given your clothes. Connecting Modebase fixes that, so you can:
- Styling from clothes you own. Ask what to wear and Claude builds the outfit from specific pieces in your wardrobe, then shows it as a picture, not a paragraph.
- Giving Claude the context it is missing. Your pieces, their colour, cut, fabric and formality, your notes on them and your style profile are handed over when you ask, so you never describe your clothes again.
- Keeping track as you go. Log what you wore, save looks you like, and tell it what you rejected. It remembers on the pieces themselves, so Tuesday is not a repeat of Monday.

Once it is connected, ask in your own words, or start from one of these.

How to get started
Open Connectors in Claude
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
Add a custom connector
Tap the plus in the top corner and choose Add custom connector.

Name it Modebase Wardrobe and paste the connector address: https://www.modebase.co/api/mcp
Sign in and approve
Back on Connectors, open Modebase and connect. Sign in to your Modebase account, or create one for free, and approve read and write so Claude can save your wears and looks. It confirms before it saves anything.
Add your clothes in the catalogue
Upload photos of your clothes in the catalogue on the Modebase site. Each piece is read for you and added to your wardrobe. Photos are added there, not in the chat.
Ask Claude what to wear
Start a chat and ask. It answers from the pieces you own and shows the look back to you.
What do you need to use it?
- A paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise). Custom connectors are added on the web at Settings, then Connectors.
- A Modebase account. It is free to try, with no card.
- Clothes added in the catalogue. The more pieces it holds, the better the advice. Around sixty is when it gets good.
- Team and Enterprise workspaces may need an admin to allow custom connectors.
Questions
Does Modebase cost anything to connect?
No. Connecting is free. Modebase is free to try with no card, and memberships only matter once your wardrobe outgrows the free allowance. The pricing page has the details.
What can Claude see?
Only when you ask, it sees the images, names, brands, categories and colours of your pieces, plus the notes you have saved. It never sees your payment details or your Modebase conversations.
Can I add clothes by sending photos in the chat?
No. Photos are uploaded in the catalogue on the Modebase site. Once a piece is there, Claude can use it straight away.
How do I disconnect?
Remove Modebase from Settings, then Connectors in Claude, or revoke it from Connected assistants in your Modebase profile. Access stops immediately.
I cannot see Add custom connector.
Custom connectors need a paid Claude plan and are added on the web. If your workspace belongs to an employer, an admin may need to allow them, and a personal account will work.
