# Transports

> Reach the BCTRL MCP server over Streamable HTTP or stdio.

The BCTRL MCP server is a single hosted endpoint.

```text
https://api.bctrl.ai/mcp
```

Two transports reach it:

* **Streamable HTTP (recommended):** connect directly to `https://api.bctrl.ai/mcp` from any client with native remote MCP support.
* **stdio via `mcp-remote`:** for clients that only speak local stdio, bridge to the hosted endpoint.

  ```bash
  npx -y mcp-remote https://api.bctrl.ai/mcp
  ```

Use Streamable HTTP wherever it is supported — it needs no local process and authenticates through the browser device-approval flow. Reach for the stdio bridge only when a client cannot yet connect to a remote HTTP server.

Most clients set up in one line. See [Connect a client](/mcp/clients).
