You're all set. Let's connect Claude to your Cliniko.

Three steps, five minutes, no technical experience needed.

1
Get your Cliniko API key
Log in to app.cliniko.com and go to Settings (gear icon) → API Keys → Add API Key. Name it "Claude AI" and copy the key.
Keep your key private. It gives access to your Cliniko account. Don't share it or post it anywhere public.
2
Open Terminal and run the installer
Press ⌘ Space to open Spotlight, type Terminal, press Enter. Then paste this command:
Paste into Terminal
curl -fsSL https://practisight.com.au/cliniko-ai/install.sh | bash
The installer will ask for your API key — paste it when prompted (⌘V)
3
Restart Claude Desktop and start chatting
Quit Claude Desktop completely, reopen it, and start a new conversation. You'll see a hammer icon at the bottom — that means it's working.

Try asking: "Show me all patients who had an appointment this week"

Common questions

I don't have Claude Desktop yet
Download it free from claude.ai/download. You'll need a Claude Pro subscription ($20/month) for the AI tools to work.
Where do I find my Cliniko API key?
Log in to Cliniko, click the gear icon (Settings) in the bottom-left, scroll to API Keys, and click Add API Key. Copy the full key including the suffix (e.g. -au1).
Is my data safe?
Your API key is stored locally on your computer only. When you chat with Claude about your practice, requests go from your machine to Cliniko's API. To revoke access at any time, delete the API key in Cliniko Settings.
No hammer icon appears in Claude Desktop
Make sure you fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd+Q, not just close the window) and reopen it. If it still doesn't appear, open Terminal and run the install command again.
I get a "command not found" error
Close Terminal completely, open a fresh Terminal window, and paste the install command again. This refreshes your system paths.
How do I uninstall?
macOS: Open Terminal and run: curl -fsSL https://practisight.com.au/cliniko-ai/uninstall.sh | bash
Windows: Open PowerShell and run: irm https://practisight.com.au/cliniko-ai/uninstall.ps1 | iex
Also delete the API key in Cliniko Settings > API Keys.
Does this work on Windows?
Yes! Click the Windows tab in Step 2 above to see the Windows install command. It uses PowerShell instead of Terminal.
