Connect Claude Desktop to your MCP server

You can also connect to your remote MCP server from local MCP clients, by using the mcp-remote proxy.

To connect to your MCP server from Claude Desktop, follow Anthropic's Quickstart and within Claude Desktop go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config.

Update with this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "calculator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://berlin-transport.mcp-tools.app/sse"  // or if local http://localhost:8787/sse
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude and you should see the tools become available.

1. Go to https://playground.ai.cloudflare.com/
2. Enter your deployed MCP server URL (remote-mcp-server-authless.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse)
3. You can now use your MCP tools directly from the playground!
