I then told it within the desktop app to add it to my CMS and it added it and even created tags for it. You have to do this from the desktop Claude app, there’s no way to do this in the CMS Dashboard. Don’t forget the Claude Cowork tab can have access to your Mac so you can do even more advanced workflow, [like uploading markdown files or images directly from the Finder](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/getting-started-with-claude-and-the-mcp-server-in-elements-cms/56361) or on a schedule, it’s really powerful! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.realmacsoftware.com/t/ai-writing-assistant-how-to-add-your-claude-openai-api-key/56322)._
