# Claude

> Connect the UseAgents MCP server to Claude Desktop, Claude Code CLI, and claude.ai.

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.

<Note>
  UseAgents is **currently free** during our public beta. No API key is required. Requests are subject to [rate limits](/api-reference/rate-limit).
</Note>

## Claude Desktop

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

### Locate the config file

| Platform    | Path                                                              |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **macOS**   | `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` |
| **Windows** | `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`                     |

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:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "UseAgents": {
      "url": "https://mcp.useagents.site/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

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):

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http UseAgents https://mcp.useagents.site/mcp
```

To make it available across all projects, add the `--scope user` flag:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user UseAgents https://mcp.useagents.site/mcp
```

### 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:

```bash theme={null}
claude mcp remove UseAgents
```

***

## claude.ai (Web)

claude.ai supports MCP connections through its Integrations settings.

1. Go to [claude.ai](https://claude.ai) and sign in.
2. Open **Settings** → **Integrations**.
3. Click **Add Integration** or **Add MCP**.
4. Paste the server URL:

```text theme={null}
https://mcp.useagents.site/mcp
```

5. Select **No Auth** as the authentication method.
6. Save and start a new conversation.

<Tip>
  MCP support on claude.ai may require a Claude Pro or Team plan. Check the latest Anthropic documentation for availability.
</Tip>

## 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.

## Next steps

* [MCP Tools Reference](/mcp/tools-reference/introduction) to understand the available tools
* [Rate Limits](/api-reference/rate-limit) for request limits during the beta
