Send a file from a chat. Keep it out of the chat.
Connect Armadoc to Claude and ask it to send a file to someone. You choose the file in an Armadoc window, it’s encrypted on your device, and only your recipient can open it.
The short version
- Your assistant never sees what’s inside. You choose the file in an Armadoc window, not in the chat, and it’s encrypted on your device before it leaves.
- It can only send. It can’t open files sent to you, and it can’t change your account or billing.
- It’s an ordinary send. Same plan, same limits, same expiring link, and your recipient opens it the usual way.
- You can remove it any time from your settings.
Connect Armadoc to Claude
- Add the connector. The button below opens Claude with Armadoc’s details filled in. Sign in to Claude if it asks, then add it.
- Sign in to Armadoc. Claude sends you to armadoc.link to sign in with your email and a one-time code, or with a passkey. If you’re new to Armadoc, signing in puts you on the Free plan.
- Allow it. Armadoc asks whether claude.ai may send documents as you. That’s all it asks for.
Once it’s connected, Armadoc works in Claude on the web and in Claude’s desktop and mobile apps.
To add it by hand instead, the server URL is https://mcp.armadoc.link/mcp.
Send from a chat
Ask Claude to send a file with Armadoc, and say who it’s for: their name and email address. For example:
- “Send my signed lease to Dustin Burrows at dustin@example.com with Armadoc.”
- “Send my tax documents to my accountant, Sam (sam@example.com), through Armadoc.”
- “Use Armadoc to send my bank statements to Rollie Tatou, rollie@example.com.”
An Armadoc window opens in the chat, addressed to your recipient. Type your name as you’d like them to see it, drop in your files or click to choose them, then select Encrypt and send. Your recipient gets an email with a link. They confirm it’s them with a one-time code, and the file opens in their browser.
A send goes to one person, by email address. On Pro, you can tell Claude how long the link should stay open, from 1 to 30 days.
Don’t attach the file to the chat. Anything you attach there goes to Claude. Choosing it in the Armadoc window is what keeps it encrypted until your recipient opens it.
If they aren’t on Armadoc yet
The window tells you, and the button reads Send invite. Your recipient gets an email invite naming your files, and nothing is uploaded until they accept.
When they accept, I email you. Finish from the link in that email, or ask Claude to send to them again and choose files with the same names.
What your assistant sees
- What you tell it. Your recipient’s name and email address, and anything else you type in the chat.
- Your file names. They aren’t encrypted, so rename a file if its name is sensitive.
- The outcome. Whether the file was sent or an invite went out, and when the link expires.
It never sees what’s in your files. They’re encrypted on your device, inside the Armadoc window, and I can’t read them either. What Claude does with what it does see is covered by your agreement with Anthropic. My side is in the privacy policy.
Plans and limits
Sending from an AI assistant works on every plan, Free included. Each send counts toward your plan’s monthly sends, the same as one from the web, and your plan sets how many files go in a send and how long a link lasts. If you’ve reached your limit, the window says so. See plans.
Disconnect
Remove Armadoc from Claude’s connector settings, then remove it in your Armadoc settings, under Agents. Removing it in Armadoc is what cuts it off: it loses access within five minutes. Removing it only from Claude leaves it listed in your settings.
Other AI assistants
Claude is the AI assistant Armadoc connects to today. For an AI agent on your own computer, which can open files sent to you as well as send them, there’s a separate local client: the armadoc package on npm.
Help
If something doesn’t work, or this page could be clearer, email hello@armadoc.link. The reply comes from the same person who built the connector.
