How to connect Claude Desktop to it?

[MayurVirkar]

This needs to be in readme.md

I believe that each MCP client should be responsible to support remote mcp and include in their docs. But happy to allow contributions on a doc section for common setups for popular clients.

Try with official guide

or proxy it through libraries like https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote

I tried both the options, it does not work.

Were you able to get it running with Claude?

I cannot access Claude Desktop in my region unfortunately. Did it work on the in-house inspector at first? Did you turn off authentication?

@MayurVirkar I have this working on my local Claude desktop via MetaMCP. I followed the instructions to get things ready for Claude desktop and then used mcp-proxy instead of the mcp-remote just because I found it slightly easier as a uv package: https://github.com/sparfenyuk/mcp-proxy

Example config from my local Claude:

{
"mcpServers": {
"NameHere": {
"command": "mcp-proxy",
"args": [
"https:////<namespace configured/mcp",
"--transport=streamablehttp"
]
},
"OtherNameHere": {
"command": "mcp-proxy",
"args": [
"https:////<namespace configured/mcp",
"--transport=streamablehttp"
]
}
}
}
