I need some help.

I’ve activated the MCP server and asked Claude whether it has access to Elements. It confirmed that it could see the project and asked what I wanted to change.  
In Elements, the panel just shows “Set up the AI assistant.” I can’t type anything here.

What have I done wrong?

If you are using the MCP Server you have to use Claude Desktop to enter your Elements related prompts - that is why it says "Connects Claude Desktop to the RapidWeaver Elements App …’ 🤔

I forgot to add the API key.
