# Installation

## Connecting the Xenioo MCP to Claude Code

The Xenioo MCP server is a **remote HTTP server** that uses **OAuth** for authentication. You don't need to manage any API keys manually, Claude Code will open a browser window for you to log in and grant access to your Xenioo account.

#### Prerequisites

* Claude Code installed ([installation guide](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/overview))
* A Xenioo account

#### 1. Add the MCP server

Run the following command in your terminal:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
claude mcp add --transport http mylinkconnect https://mcp.mylinkconnect.com/mcp
```

{% endcode %}

* `mylinkconnect`is the local name of the server (you can choose any name).
* `--transport http` tells Claude Code this is a remote HTTP server.

{% hint style="info" %}
By default the server is added to your current project. To make it available across all your projects, add the `--scope user` flag:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user xenioo https://mcp.mylinkconnect.com/mcp
```

{% endcode %}
{% endhint %}

#### 2. Authenticate with OAuth

Start Claude Code and run the `/mcp` command:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
/mcp
```

{% endcode %}

Select **xenioo** from the list and choose **Authenticate**. Your browser will open the Xenioo login page, sign in and authorize Claude Code to act on your account. Once complete, the connection status will show as **connected**.

#### 3. Verify the connection

Still inside `/mcp`, confirm that **xenioo** is listed as **connected** and that its tools are available. You can also run:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
claude mcp list
```

{% endcode %}

You're now ready to interact with your Xenioo account simply by chatting with Claude.

#### 4. Documentation MCP

A separate MCP server provides access to this documentation. Connect it to your AI client to ask questions and receive answers based on these docs.
