Getting started / Connect to Claude

Connect to Claude

Point the Claude you already pay for at your mcpfor.work server. Hosted is one click; self-host adds a few lines of config. The same account works from claude.ai, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code.

Hosted — one click

In claude.ai → Settings → Connectors, add a custom connector and paste your connector URL. You approve a standard OAuth screen inside claude.ai — nothing to install.

https://mcp.mcpfor.work/mcp
ScopesThe grant is read/write, scoped to your own data, and revocable any time from your dashboard or claude.ai. We never make server-side LLM calls — your subscription does all the thinking.

Claude Desktop (self-host)

Self-hosting is free and identical in features. Add the stdio server to claude_desktop_config.json — it runs locally on SQLite, no account.

claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcpforwork": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcpforwork"] }
  }
}

Claude Code

Register the same stdio server from the terminal:

terminal
$ claude mcp add mcpforwork -- uvx mcpforwork
✓ added mcpforwork (stdio)

Verify the connection

Ask Claude to say hello — the server answers with a version handshake.
