Add Paperzilla as a custom connector in Claude.

The short version:

1. Create or copy your **MCP API key** from the [dashboard](https://paperzilla.ai/dashboard).
2. In Claude, open **Settings** > **Connectors**.
3. Add a custom connector named `Paperzilla`.
4. Use `https://paperzilla.ai/api/mcp/?key=pzmcp_...` as the connector URL.
5. After setup, switch the connector to **Always allow** so Claude can use the tools without asking on every call.

Once connected, Claude can use:

* `projects_list`
* `projects_get`
* `feed_get`
* `feed_search`
* `feed_atom_url`
* `paper_get`
* `paper_markdown`

Use `feed_search` when you want Claude to search across the whole project feed by title, author, abstract, or summary text.
