### Step 1: Update and open Claude Desktop

Launch [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai/download) (install it if you haven't yet) and check for updates via **Settings → About → Check for updates**. Leave the app running; the bundle install requires Claude to be open.

### Step 3: Install inside Claude Desktop

Double-click the bundle (or drag it into **Claude Desktop → Settings → Extensions**). Claude will show the vytalLink MCP extension details—click **Install** to confirm.

> If the bundle doesn't open automatically, right-click the file and choose **Open With → Claude Desktop**.

### Step 4: Restart Claude Desktop

Once the installation finishes, quit and relaunch Claude Desktop so the extension loads correctly.

### Step 5: Authenticate with Word + PIN

Use the vytalLink mobile app to generate a connection Word and PIN. Ask Claude to connect using those credentials to start syncing your health data. Keep the app open while you chat.

#### Example Conversation
