Claude MCP setup

Claude has several MCP surfaces. Use the one that matches your product.

Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop supports MCP servers through its desktop configuration. Add the Sniffopotamus remote endpoint when your account supports remote MCP/OAuth:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sniffopotamus": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.sniffopotamus.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

If your Claude Desktop version only accepts local stdio servers, use a local bridge only if you understand the security trade-off.

Claude Code

Claude Code can add MCP servers from the CLI. For remote HTTP/SSE support, use the transport option documented by Anthropic for your installed version.

After adding it, ask Claude Code to list available Sniffopotamus tools before using write actions.

Claude.ai and API

Team or API-based MCP access depends on the Claude product and account plan. Use the official Anthropic MCP documentation for the current setup path.
