How to create an Apple Wallet pass with Claude
Claude can create an Apple Wallet pass from a sentence. Connect it to WalletPassBuilder once, describe the card in a chat, and Claude hands back a link that adds it to Apple Wallet on an iPhone or Google Wallet on Android. The same connection lets Claude change the pass later, message everyone who saved it, and run a loyalty stamp card.
Last updated October 10, 2026. Facts about Apple Wallet and Google Wallet were checked against Apple’s and Google’s own documentation, linked in the sources.
The short answer
- In Claude, add WalletPassBuilder as a custom connector with the URL
https://walletpassbuilder.com/api/mcp. - Sign in to WalletPassBuilder and approve the connection.
- Describe the pass you want. Claude creates it and gives you its share link.
Nothing to install, no code, and no template to design first. You need a WalletPassBuilder account (new accounts get free pass credits to start) and a Claude account on any plan.
What Claude can do once connected
WalletPassBuilder’s MCP server gives Claude these actions. Claude picks the right one from what you ask; you never name them.
| You ask Claude to… | What happens |
|---|---|
| Create a pass | A pass for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, with one share link |
| Make a card for each person on a list | One card per person, each with its own link |
| Change a pass or one person's card | Only what you name changes; saved copies update on every phone |
| Start a loyalty stamp card | A program with a sign-up link; each customer gets their own card |
| Add a stamp | The customer's card shows the new stamp straight away |
| Send a message | It reaches the lock screen of everyone who saved the pass, after you approve it |
| Archive a pass | Its link stops working and saved copies show as expired |
| Check passes, customers and credits | A plain-language answer from your account |
1. Connect WalletPassBuilder to Claude
On Free, Pro or Max
- Open Customize, then Connectors.
- Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
- Name it WalletPassBuilder, paste
https://walletpassbuilder.com/api/mcpand click Continue. - Keep the sign-in settings Claude detects and click Add.
- Sign in to WalletPassBuilder when asked and click Approve.
- In a chat, click +, open Connectors and switch WalletPassBuilder on.
On Team or Enterprise
An owner adds the connector first under Organization settings, then Connectors. Each person then finds it under Customize, then Connectors, and clicks Connect to sign in with their own WalletPassBuilder account.
2. Create your first pass
With the connector switched on, describe the card:
Claude turns that into a pass: the business name, a title, up to three fields on the front, the QR code and anything you want on the back. With no logo image, it uses a simple icon in the card’s color, and you can send a logo URL instead. It replies with the share link.
For a whole list of people, paste or attach the list and ask for “a card for each person”. Claude makes one pass with a card per person, each with its own link, up to 500 at a time.
3. Put it on a phone
Send the share link by email, text or chat. The page it opens checks the device:
- On an iPhone, an Add to Apple Wallet button adds the pass.
- On Android, an Add to Google Wallet button adds the same card.
- On a computer, the Apple Wallet button shows a QR code to scan with an iPhone.
More on that step in how to add a pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.
4. Change it later
A saved pass isn’t a snapshot. Ask Claude to change it, in the same chat or a new one: “Move Priya to Premium and set her renewal to March 2027.” Only what you name changes, and the card updates on every phone it’s saved on. Updates don’t use credits.
5. Run a loyalty program
“Create a stamp card for Bean There Café: 8 stamps, a free coffee as the reward, a cream background.” Claude creates the program and gives you its sign-up link. Put that on a QR sign at the counter and every customer who scans it gets their own card.
Later, “Give Sam Lee a stamp” adds one to Sam’s card, and “Who joined this week?” lists your customers and their progress. For the counter itself, the dashboard’s staff scanner is quicker. See loyalty cards for small businesses for how to set up the program itself.
6. Send an offer to the lock screen
“Tell everyone with the Bean There card: double stamps all weekend.” Claude shows you the exact message and which pass it’s for, and sends it only after you say yes. It appears on the lock screen in Apple Wallet and on the card in Google Wallet. You can also schedule it: “Send it Saturday at 9am.”
Keep messages rare and useful. Our wallet pass notifications guide covers what works.
Claude Code and other MCP clients
The same server works from a terminal. In Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http walletpassbuilder https://walletpassbuilder.com/api/mcpThen start Claude and run /mcp to sign in. Cursor, VS Code and other clients add it as a remote (Streamable HTTP) MCP server with the same URL. A client that can’t sign in can send your API key in an Authorization: Bearer header instead; the key is under API in the dashboard.
What Claude can’t do
- See or change your billing, API key, team or password.
- See your loyalty customers’ phone numbers.
- Keep access after you disconnect it: open API in the dashboard, then Connected apps, and click Disconnect.
