How to Share Your Claude Artifacts Securely — No Terminal Required

You created something in Claude Desktop — a competitive analysis, a market summary, a visual presentation, a structured report. It looks great. Now you need your team to see it.

TL;DR
If you create content in Claude Desktop and need to share it with your team securely, there are two options: use the MCP integration (say "publish this to my team," get a URL) or upload the downloaded file via the Display web interface. No terminal required.

The problem

You created something in Claude Desktop — a competitive analysis, a market summary, a visual presentation, a structured report. It looks great. Now you need your team to see it.

Claude's Publish button makes it publicly accessible. Anyone on the internet with the URL can view it. That's not acceptable for anything internal: competitive intelligence, financial data, client information, internal strategy.

There's no built-in option between "public" and "requires a Claude seat to view." If your teammates don't have Claude subscriptions, they can't access the artifact through Claude's sharing system.

Display is the middle layer: a permanent URL that only people with your company email can access.


Setup once (5 minutes, or ask IT):

  1. Log in to Display → Settings → API Keys → Create key
  2. Open Claude Desktop → Settings → MCP Servers
  3. Add the Display server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "display-dev": {
      "url": "https://mcp.display.dev",
      "apiKey": "your-key-here"
    }
  }
}
  1. Restart Claude Desktop

After that — in any conversation, just ask:

"Publish this competitive analysis to my team."
"Share this report with the company."
"Create a link that only @acme.com emails can access."

Claude calls the publish tool and returns a URL in the conversation. That's it.

If your IT team manages devices centrally, they can push this configuration to everyone via Jamf or Intune — you won't need to set it up individually.


Option B: Web upload (no setup required)

  1. In Claude Desktop, download the artifact (right-click → Download, or use the export button)
  2. Go to Display in your browser
  3. Drag and drop the HTML file onto the upload area
  4. Get a URL

No CLI. No configuration. Takes about 30 seconds.


They receive the URL in Slack, email, or wherever you share it. They click it.

A login screen appears: "Sign in with Google" or "Sign in with Microsoft." They click their company account — the same one they use for email. Five seconds. Done.

They see the full interactive artifact: formatted report, embedded charts, presentation slides, whatever you created. No new accounts. No app downloads. No IT tickets.


Pricing

Free tier: Viewers receive a one-time login link by email (one-time password). Works fine for occasional sharing with small groups.

Teams ($49/month): Google and Microsoft one-click SSO — viewers authenticate in a single click with no email prompt. This is what most teams upgrade to within their first two weeks.


FAQ

What if my IT team hasn't set up the MCP?+

Use Option B: web upload. No configuration required. Drag the downloaded HTML file to Display and get a URL.

Can I share with someone at a partner company or a client?+

Yes. You can add specific external email addresses to an artifact's allow-list — they receive one-time password access without being added to your workspace.

What happens to the content if I close the Claude conversation?+

Nothing. The artifact is published to Display's servers, independent of Claude. Closing the conversation, ending your Claude subscription, or switching AI tools doesn't affect the published artifact. The URL works indefinitely.

Does this work with Claude Code (not just Claude Desktop)?+

Yes, but the workflow is different. Claude Code generates HTML files on disk. Use the dsp publish ./file.html CLI command to publish them. See the full Claude Code guide.

Publish your first artifact in 15 seconds.

Free tier. No credit card. One-time password auth for viewers on free, Google + Microsoft SSO on Teams ($49/month flat).
