I’ll start by creating a workspace for this demo. This gives the work a clear home: a specific local folder, with its own approved access. I choose Claude and Cowork, check the name and location, and let Outloop create the folder. Next, I’ll connect that exact folder in Claude.

The folder location is what connects these two apps. I copy it from Outloop and reveal it in Finder. The connection instructions are already inside. Keep this folder: creating another one with the same name would not give Claude the same context.
