Setting up with Claude

Crispy works with Claude Desktop, Claude.ai, and Claude Code. The setup differs per client, so use the right path for yours.

Claude Desktop and Claude.ai (no API key needed):

1. Go to Settings, then Connectors.
2. Click 'Add custom connector'.
3. Enter https://crispy.sh/api/mcp as the server URL. Leave the optional Client ID and Client Secret fields empty - filling them in breaks the connection.
4. Sign in with your Crispy account when prompted.

Do not edit claude_desktop_config.json - that file only supports local servers, and Claude Desktop will skip a Crispy entry pasted there.

Claude Code (terminal):

claude mcp add --transport http crispy https://crispy.sh/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Get your API key from the Crispy dashboard under API Keys. Run /mcp inside Claude Code to confirm Crispy is connected. If you edit .mcp.json by hand instead, include "type": "http" - Claude Code skips url entries without it.
