​
Desktop App

​
Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop installed (download)
  • Claude Free (1 custom connector), Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan
Remote MCP servers are added through the app’s Settings → Connectors — the same flow as claude.ai. Claude Desktop and claude.ai share the same account settings, so a connector added on either one appears on both.
  1. Open Claude Desktop
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors
  3. Click Add custom connector
  4. Enter SocialAPI.ai as the name and https://api.social-api.ai/mcp as the URL
  5. Complete the OAuth authorization in the browser window that opens
Claude Desktop OAuth authorization flow
The claude_desktop_config.json file only supports local stdio servers (via command + args). Remote MCP servers cannot be added directly to this file — use Settings → Connectors instead.
Config file locations (for local stdio servers only):
  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

​
Claude Code (CLI)

​
Add via command line

claude mcp add socialapi --transport http https://api.social-api.ai/mcp
Claude Code will open your browser for OAuth authorization on first use.

​
Scopes

By default, the server is added to the local scope (current project only). Use --scope user for all projects or --scope project to share via .mcp.json: 
claude mcp add socialapi --transport http --scope user https://api.social-api.ai/mcp

​
Manage servers

claude mcp list              # list configured servers
claude mcp remove socialapi  # remove a server
Claude Code uses its own subscription (Max plan or Claude Code subscription). No separate Pro plan is required.

​
Troubleshooting

Authorization does not open browser — Ensure your system default browser is configured. On headless/remote systems, Claude Code will print the authorization URL for you to open manually.

​
Mobile (iOS / Android)

Remote MCP servers work on Claude mobile. You cannot add new servers from the mobile app — configure them first on claude.ai via Settings → Connectors, and they automatically become available on mobile.
  1. Add SocialAPI.AI as a connector on claude.ai (see Web above)
  2. Open the Claude mobile app — the connector is already available
  3. Enable it in a conversation via the + menu → Connectors
Requires Claude Free (1 connector), Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan. Same plan as your web account.
