How to connect an MCP server to Claude Code
@ai-supply · 3mo ago
What you'll need
- Claude Code installed
- An MCP server to connect (browse vetted ones by the MCP kind on the categories page)
Steps
- Pick a server. On its ai-supply listing, open the Security tab to confirm the score/grade, then copy its run command or endpoint.
- Add it to your MCP config. In Claude Code, register the server (command + args, or a URL for a hosted one) in your MCP settings.
- Restart / reload so the client discovers the server's tools and resources.
- Verify. Ask the agent to list available tools — your server's tools should appear.
Tips
- Start with least privilege: only enable the tools you need.
- Prefer servers with a high security grade — every listing here is scanned, scored, and graded.
- Hosted server? You can route it through a metered, guardrailed gateway.
See the agent quickstart for API keys and scopes, and browse MCP servers in the catalog to find your first connection.
