Terms of use

This English translation is provided for information. The French version is the only legally binding one.

1. Purpose

These terms govern the use of Claude Market, a marketplace of MCP connectors and skills for Claude, published by a sole trader, SIRET 851 533 935 00017 (see the legal notice). Claude Market is an independent project, not affiliated with Anthropic.

The site is in a trial phase: it may have outages, and its features as well as these terms may change. Any significant change is announced on the site and by email at least 30 days before it applies (unless required by law or an authority); an ongoing subscription stays governed by the terms accepted at purchase until its renewal. Using the site after the change takes effect means you accept it; if you refuse, you can cancel your subscriptions and delete your account.

2. Account

You sign in with a GitHub account. You must be at least 15 years old to create an account; a minor may only buy with their parents’ consent. Selling requires being of legal age.
The account is personal: it cannot be sold, lent, transferred or shared. You are responsible for keeping your access confidential (including your GitHub account) and for what is done from your account; tell us without delay if you think someone else has used it.
The information you provide must be accurate.
You can delete your account and data at any time from the Account page, after cancelling your ongoing subscriptions. Your reviews and posts are deleted with it, and so is access to the products in your library, purchases included: download beforehand what you want to keep.

3. Role of Claude Market

Claude Market is a platform that connects creators and users: it is neither the seller nor the reseller of the products, and is not a party to the sales made between them (see the terms of sale). Products are designed and maintained by their creators, who remain responsible for them. Claude Market does not host connectors: it only controls access to paid connectors through its gateway, which passes a pseudonym of the user to the creator, never their email.

Listings marked “Not hosted here” are created by the team from public projects (official MCP registry, GitHub); their author can claim them, or have them removed on request through the contact form.

The site links to third-party services (GitHub, Stripe, creators’ servers, public repositories). They have their own terms; Claude Market controls neither their content nor their availability.

Ranking: by default, the catalogue sorts products by the number of “recommended” reviews, then the total number of reviews, then the publication date; other sorts (new, price, name) are offered. No creator pays to be ranked higher. “Popular and recommended” on the home page uses this default ranking; “Just arrived” shows the latest releases. Each listing states whether the creator sells as an individual or a professional.

Creators’ data (EU Regulation 2019/1150): a creator sees their products’ statistics in their space (views, installs, calls, reviews, sales), never their buyers’ email or name (a pseudonym for connectors; for a sale, what Stripe passes to them as the seller). Claude Market sees the same figures for all products and uses them only to run, rank and protect the service.

Moderation tools: an automatic scan of files and servers (dangerous code), a filter that hides offensive words, and hiding content reported by 3 different accounts until a team member checks it. Every final decision is made by a person.

For content published by creators and users (listings, files, reviews, posts), Claude Market acts as a hosting provider (article 6 of the French law on confidence in the digital economy, article 6 of the EU Digital Services Act): it has no general obligation to monitor it and is only liable if, once clearly illegal content is reported to it, it does not remove it promptly. The check made before a product goes live is not a guarantee of its quality or security.

4. Using products

Before adding a product, read its permissions (read, write, send): a connector acts with the access you give it, on its creator’s server.
Actions taken by the AI: a connector or skill is used by Claude, which can make mistakes. You remain responsible for what you ask it and for what you let it do with your access (send a message, change or delete data, pay): check before approving an important action and keep backups. You also follow Anthropic’s terms and usage policies for Claude; Claude Market is not responsible for Claude’s answers.
Licence, not sale: adding or buying a product gives you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it for your own purposes (including in your work). You do not become its owner: unless the creator says otherwise, you may not resell, rent, share, redistribute or make it available to others. The licence stated by the creator on the listing adds to these rules; skills imported under an open licence remain subject to their original licence.
The licence ends with your account, with the subscription that grants it, or if the payment is refunded or disputed with your bank.
Forbidden uses: getting around the gateway, usage counters or any protection of the site; bulk-extracting the catalogue with bots; probing the site for vulnerabilities without written consent; disrupting the service (overload, attacks); opening several accounts to distort reviews or limits; impersonating a person or a creator; using the site where the law forbids you to (international sanctions included). A vulnerability found in good faith is reported through the contact form.
During the trial, the wishlist holds 5 products at most, and usage limits protect the service (number of requests and calls per minute).

5. Reviews and community

Verified reviews: only users who added or bought a product can review it, once, and never its creator. No review is bought or rewarded.
Reviews are published without prior checks, shown from newest to oldest with their date, whatever their rating; abusive words are hidden automatically. The creator can reply publicly. The author can edit or delete their review at any time.
Forbidden: fake or paid reviews, abusive, discriminatory or illegal content, spam. Any review can be reported; the team can hide content that breaks these rules.
You keep ownership of what you post (reviews, posts, comments, images). You allow Claude Market, free of charge and for as long as they are published, to display, reproduce and adapt them to the site’s format (image size, review excerpt) to run and present the service. You warrant that you have the right to post this content.

6. Creators

Creators guarantee that they hold the rights to what they publish (texts, images, code, GitHub repository used to build a .zip) and that they honestly describe the access requested. They allow Claude Market to display this content on the site to present and distribute the product.
A skill is published from a GitHub repository authored by the creator (owner or administrator); a fork or a copy of someone else’s work without their consent is refused and can be reported. A paid skill comes from a private repository, shared read-only with Claude Market through its GitHub app: the creator keeps that repository private as long as the skill is sold.
Malicious code: publishing a virus, spyware, a program that steals data or access, or that hijacks the user’s computer or account is forbidden. Any attempt leads to the immediate removal of the product, the closing of the account, the preservation of evidence, a report to the authorities and legal action (offences against automated data processing systems, articles 323-1 and following of the French Criminal Code), as well as a claim for damages.
The listing (name, summary, description, release notes) is written in English, so every visitor can read it; a listing in another language is sent back to draft.
The creator name is unique and must not suggest an official account (Claude Market, Anthropic, Claude) or imitate another creator.
Each product, and each change to its listing, its .zip file or its MCP server address, is checked by the team before going live, without this check relieving the creator of their responsibility. One change per 24 hours at most (a refused submission counts). Changing the server address of a product waiting for review sends it back to draft.
During the trial: one product per creator, submitted from a GitHub account created at least 30 days earlier. A free product stays free after publication, and a paid product stays paid; the price can change, with no effect on ongoing subscriptions.
The creator is the seller of their paid products: payments go to their Stripe account, which checks their identity. Claude Market takes a 15% commission on each payment (VAT included) and returns it proportionally in case of a refund.
The creator sells as a professional or an individual and is solely responsible for their tax and social obligations (income declaration, VAT) and for the legal guarantees owed to their buyers. Claude Market must report each year to the tax authorities the income earned by creators on the platform (European DAC7 directive): for this, the creator provides, to Stripe or to Claude Market, their identity, address, tax number and, for a professional, their registration number. Without this information after two reminders, their sales may be suspended. A creator selling as a professional states their consumer mediator.
The creator does not delete a published product themselves: they ask for its removal through the contact form. Removal has the effects described in article 8 (subscriptions stopped, access and downloads cut); the creator remains liable to their buyers.
A connector’s creator keeps their server running as long as the product is offered or a subscription is ongoing; if they must shut it down, they tell the team and refund their subscribers for the period not served.
Creator’s guarantee: the creator holds Claude Market harmless against any claim by a third party (buyer, rights holder, authority) caused by their product, listing or conduct (malicious code, infringement of others’ rights, data leak, misleading advertising, undeclared taxes) and bears the resulting costs, within the limits allowed by law and in proportion to their fault. Dispute fees charged by Stripe on a sale remain payable by them.
Claude Market guarantees no sales volume or income. The commission rate may change: the new rate is announced at least 30 days in advance and only applies to payments made after it takes effect.

7. Reporting illegal content

Any product can be reported from its page (“Report” link) or the Report page, and any review with the button below it. A precise report (address of the content, reason, explanation) is reviewed quickly. The contact form is the single point of contact, including for authorities, in French or English.

When the team hides content or removes a product, its author is told the reason, except in an emergency or where the law requires otherwise. They can challenge the decision free of charge through the contact form, within 6 months: it is reviewed again by a person, if possible not the one who made it. The person who reported content can challenge a decision to keep it in the same way.

8. Suspension and removal

An account or product that breaks these terms can be suspended, after informing its holder of the reason, except in an emergency (security, illegal content). For a professional creator, the permanent closing of their account is announced 30 days in advance, except for a serious breach or a legal obligation.

A product deemed dangerous (malware, data leak, illegal content) can be removed without notice, or hidden automatically once 3 different accounts have reported it, during a check. Removed product: it disappears from the store, the gateway cuts access, the file can no longer be downloaded and its subscriptions stop; Claude Market does not refund amounts already paid, the creator remaining bound by the legal guarantees owed to their buyers (see the terms of sale).

9. Intellectual property

The site (texts, layout, code) belongs to its publisher. Products and their listings belong to their creators. Claude and Anthropic are trademarks of their owner; they are mentioned only to indicate product compatibility.

10. Liability

Claude Market strives to keep the site and the gateway available but cannot guarantee it. It cannot be held liable for how a third-party product works, or for what a connector does with the access you gave it, unless it is at fault.

The site and the gateway are provided as they are during the trial phase; interruptions for maintenance or updates may happen. Towards a professional user, and to the extent permitted by law, Claude Market’s liability is limited to direct damage and to the commissions earned on their purchases over the last 12 months. Nothing in these terms limits the rights the law grants to consumers, nor liability for gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

11. Personal data

The data processed, how long it is kept and your rights are described in the privacy policy.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by French law. A consumer living in another European Union country keeps the protection of the mandatory rules of their country. In case of dispute, an amicable solution is sought before any action through the contact form. Consumers may also go to the competent court of their place of residence.

12a. Discontinuation of a product or the service

If Claude Market stopped operating, this would be announced on the site and by email at least 30 days in advance. Subscriptions would stop with no further charge, and you could download the skills in your library during that time: a downloaded skill keeps working after the site closes. A connector depends on its creator’s server.
The removal of a single product follows article 8 and the terms of sale.

13. General provisions

Evidence: the date and version of the terms accepted at sign-up, and Stripe’s payment records, are binding between you and Claude Market.
If a clause is held void, the others remain in force. Not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.
Claude Market is not liable for a failure caused by force majeure (outage of a host or payment provider, attack, decision of an authority).
Claude Market may hand over the running of the site to another entity (for example a company set up by its publisher): you will be told, and these terms will continue to apply.
Authorities: Claude Market responds to requests from judicial or administrative authorities provided for by law and may pass on the information requested.
After an account is deleted or these terms end, the rules that by nature must survive remain in force (intellectual property, liability, evidence, governing law, retention of sales).
If the French version and a translation differ, the French version prevails.
