03 · Why this is a good fit

Desktop chat + org memory.

Claude Desktop is the entry point for people who don't live in a terminal or an IDE — operators, GMs, founders, support leads. Halyard makes their chats grounded in the same knowledge Claude Code sees.

No CLI required

Your non-technical teammates get the same MCP-grounded experience as engineers — just in a chat window.

One config per workstation

Add Halyard once, it's there for every Claude conversation. Works in Projects, Artifacts, plain chat.

Ask experts without leaving Claude

When Claude hits an unknown, it triggers ask_expert — Halyard pings the right person in Slack, answer streams back into the chat.

Chat with your team's brain.

One config, one OAuth, every Claude Desktop chat starts grounded.
