Connect a Client

View as Markdown

The BCTRL MCP server is a hosted endpoint. Point any MCP client at it and approve access in the browser.

https://api.bctrl.ai/mcp

Clients with native remote (Streamable HTTP) MCP support connect with the URL directly. Clients that only speak stdio — or that do not yet handle remote OAuth — bridge through mcp-remote, which runs the browser approval locally and forwards to the endpoint. Add it as a command (npx) with args (-y mcp-remote <url>):

1{
2  "bctrl": {
3    "command": "npx",
4    "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.bctrl.ai/mcp"]
5  }
6}

Place that entry under your tool’s MCP servers key — mcpServers, servers, or context_servers, depending on the client.

For step-by-step setup for a specific client — Claude, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Goose, or OpenCode — choose it from the sidebar. See also Transports and Authentication.
