Connect UseAgents to Claude so your AI assistant can discover verified developer tools from the registry. Claude offers three products that support MCP — Claude Desktop, Claude Code (CLI), and claude.ai.
UseAgents is currently free during our public beta. No API key is required. Requests are subject to rate limits.

​
Claude Desktop

Edit the Claude Desktop configuration file to add the UseAgents MCP server.

​
Locate the config file

You can also open it from the Claude Desktop app: Claude menu → Settings → Developer → Edit Config.

​
Add UseAgents

Add the following to your config file:
If you already have other MCP servers configured, add the "UseAgents" entry inside the existing "mcpServers" object.

​
Verify

  1. Restart Claude Desktop completely (quit and reopen).
  2. Start a new conversation and ask Claude to search for a tool — for example: “Use UseAgents to find a TypeScript SDK for Stripe.”
  3. Confirm you receive structured tool results.

​
Claude Code (CLI)

Use the claude mcp add command to register the UseAgents server.

​
Add via CLI

Run this in your terminal (outside of an active claude session):
To make it available across all projects, add the --scope user flag:

​
Verify

  1. Run claude mcp to list connected servers and confirm UseAgents appears.
  2. Start a Claude Code session and ask it to search for a tool.
  3. You can also type /mcp inside a session to check the status of connected servers.

​
Remove

To remove the server later:

​
claude.ai (Web)

claude.ai supports MCP connections through its Integrations settings.
  1. Go to claude.ai and sign in.
  2. Open Settings → Integrations.
  3. Click Add Integration or Add MCP.
  4. Paste the server URL:
  1. Select No Auth as the authentication method.
  2. Save and start a new conversation.
MCP support on claude.ai may require a Claude Pro or Team plan. Check the latest Anthropic documentation for availability.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Server not appearing in Claude Desktop: Ensure you fully quit and reopen the app — not just close the window.
  • Invalid JSON: Validate your config file has no trailing commas or syntax errors.
  • Claude Code mcp add fails: Make sure you are running the command outside of an active claude session.
