# Add Modpack to Claude once. Then just ask.

A pack is a creator’s working AI setup. Ask Claude in your own words, and the complete result comes back in the chat, files included. You pay per run, only when it works.

## Four steps: about a minute to set up

1. **Add Modpack to Claude**: Copy the link on any pack’s page, paste it in Claude’s Connectors, and sign in once. (once · about 60 s)
2. **Ask in your own words**: Claude picks the pack and shows the most the run can cost before it starts. (any Claude app)
3. **Get the result in the chat**: Every finding, table and file comes back to Claude. Say “fix these” and keep going. (no page to open)
4. **Pay only when it works**: Per run, at the price shown before it starts. A run that doesn’t work costs nothing. ($5 free to start)

## What happens when you ask

1. **Ask Claude** (You): In any chat, in your own words.
2. **Claude sends the request** (Your AI): The pack’s name and this run’s inputs. Nothing else from your chats.
3. **Runs and checks it** (Modpack): In a fresh sandbox with the pack’s tools and data, then checks the result.
4. **The complete result** (Back in Claude): Findings, tables and files as attachments Claude can read and act on.

Your Claude does the talking. Modpack does the running.

## When Claude sends you a link

Only for what your agent can’t do for you. Everything else stays in the chat, including short text files up to 64 KB. Each link opens one page and takes you back to Claude.

- **Sign in once** (first time only): Claude can’t sign you in. One Modpack page, then you’re back in the chat.
- **Approve new access** (your private data, or a new creator’s pack from a link): Your agent can’t approve its own access. One button. For other packs, Claude tells you the price and asks in the chat.
- **Top up or raise a limit** (when a run needs it): Payments need you, not your agent. The waiting run starts by itself.
- **Connect another account** (Instagram, Google): Instagram and Google only let you grant access to your accounts.

## What the labels on a pack mean

Each label is earned by something that happened, and dated. Nobody can buy or edit them.

- **Rebuilt from scratch**: Modpack rebuilt the pack from its own files in a clean sandbox, and it ran. Every version, automatically.
- **Checks passed**: Secrets, malware, where it connects, the safety of its instructions, and a trial run by a test agent. Every version, in about 2 minutes.
- **Tested on cases**: It gave correct results on test cases, including tricky ones the creator didn’t write. Every version that changes how it works.
- **Used again by people**: People who ran it came back and ran it again within 30 days. Needs 5 or more people.
- **Confirmed by people**: People marked its results as right. Needs 5 or more people.

A success rate shows only after 20 runs from at least 3 people in 30 days. New creators’ packs say “New creator · automated checks” until they’ve been around 14 days and 5 people have checked results.

## Updates: anything that asks for more waits for you

You follow updates by default: each version passes its checks and tests first and says what changed. To pin a version or try early ones, open the pack in Your packs.

Always waits for your approval:

- A new permission, like reading a Google Sheet
- A new place it sends data
- A higher cost per run

Never changes:

- Results you already have
- Receipts and what you paid
- Your limits and connections

## Questions

### Do I have to open Modpack to see a result?

No. The complete result and its files arrive in the chat. Modpack keeps a receipt and a record of each run, if you want them.

### Does Modpack see my other chats?

No. Claude sends only the pack’s name and the inputs for that run.

### Is it available where I live?

Modpack is in beta for people in the US who are 18 or older.

Try one pack. Setup takes about a minute. Add Modpack to Claude, ask, and read the result in the chat. Your first $5 of runs is on us. [Browse packs](https://modpack.egoeimi.org/browse). US only, 18+. No card needed.
