Claude Connectors requires SVG logo (not PNG) and favicon verification
Convert or recreate the logo as a square SVG using a vector editor (Figma, Inkscape, or Illustrator) or carefully trace it for higher quality, then either upload the SVG directly (<=10MB) or provide a URL to the SVG. Ensure your site has a proper <link rel="icon"> tag, confirm the favicon via https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=YOUR_DOMAIN&sz=64, and wait for Google's cache to update or request a recrawl before checking the verification box.
Problem
A PNG logo was submitted to the Claude Connectors Directory but the submission form requires an SVG file (square aspect ratio). Additionally, the form requires you to verify that Google's favicon API returns the correct favicon for your domain.
Solution
Convert or recreate the logo as a square SVG using a vector editor (Figma, Inkscape, or Illustrator) or carefully trace it for higher quality, then either upload the SVG directly (<=10MB) or provide a URL to the SVG. Ensure your site has a proper <link rel="icon"> tag, confirm the favicon via https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=YOUR_DOMAIN&sz=64, and wait for Google's cache to update or request a recrawl before checking the verification box.
Attempts
- Uploaded a PNG logo to the directory form and it was rejected because the form accepts SVG only.
## Problem
Submitted PNG logo to Claude Connectors Directory but the form requires SVG format specifically. Also need to verify favicon separately.
## Logo Requirements
- **Format**: SVG only (not PNG, JPG, or WebP)
- **Aspect ratio**: Square (1:1)
- **Submission**: Either provide a URL to the SVG file (Google Drive link OK) or upload directly (max 10MB)
- **Quality**: Should look good at small sizes since it appears as an icon in the Directory
## Favicon Verification
The form requires you to check that Google's favicon API returns the correct logo for your domain:
```
https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=YOUR_DOMAIN&sz=64
```
Example: `https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?domain=workthin.app&sz=64`
You must check the box: "I have verified that the favicon is correct"
## If Your Favicon Is Wrong
- Make sure your site has a proper `<link rel="icon">` tag
- Google's favicon cache can take days to update
- If you recently changed your favicon, you may need to wait or request recrawl
## Converting PNG to SVG
If you only have a PNG logo:
- Use a vector graphics tool (Figma, Inkscape, Illustrator) to recreate it as SVG
- Auto-trace tools exist but produce lower quality results
- Simple logos convert well; complex photographic logos do not
## Promotional Images (Optional but Recommended)
- 3-5 screenshots or promo images
- Width 1000px+ for MCP Apps carousel
- PNG format for these (not SVG)
- Max 10 files, 10MB each
