Connection times out or fails

  • Confirm the server URL is exactly https://api.agi.tech/v1/mcp
  • Some clients require the transport to be set to http or sse explicitly; try both
  • For OAuth clients, clear saved authentication and reconnect to restart browser sign-in
  • For API-key clients, confirm the custom Authorization header is present
  • Claude Desktop cannot connect to remote URLs directly - see below

Client-specific notes

Claude Code

  • Complete sign-in via /mcp, verify with claude mcp list
  • Claude Code stores and refreshes OAuth credentials; Clear authentication from /mcp switches accounts

Claude Desktop

  • claude_desktop_config.json only launches local (stdio) servers - a url-style entry will not work
  • Bridge through mcp-remote (requires Node.js 18+), then restart Claude Desktop:
  • If the browser does not open automatically during sign-in, copy the authorization URL from the bridge output

Cursor

  • Add the server to .cursor/mcp.json with the URL and an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY header, then restart Cursor or refresh MCP servers from settings

ChatGPT

  • Requires developer mode under Settings > Apps > Advanced settings; a workspace administrator may need to enable access first
  • Availability of full MCP actions is controlled by OpenAI and varies by plan and workspace
Full setup walkthroughs for every client are on the Connect your AI client page.

The client connects but tools look stale

  • Reconnect the MCP server so the client calls tools/list again - the tool list changes when devices register or the app updates
  • If a client caches old tool state (stale sessions, old tool names), disconnect and reconnect the server

Verifying the connection independently

If you suspect the client, take it out of the loop: an unauthenticated request to the endpoint should return 401 with a WWW-Authenticate challenge - that confirms the server is reachable and speaking the protocol, and the problem is client configuration or credentials.
