Setup Guide

For general MCP connector setup, refer to Claude Desktop MCP servers documentation.

Option A: OAuth (recommended)

The ThriveStack connector isn’t published in Claude’s connector directory yet, so you’ll add it as a custom connector:

Only workspace admins in Claude can add a custom connector. If you’re not able to, check with your admin.

Once connected, start asking questions — ThriveStack tools will be available in MCP mode.

Option B: Personal Access Token

Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, replacing YOUR_PAT_TOKEN with a token from Personal Access Tokens:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "thrivestack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote", "https://api.app.thrivestack.ai/mcp",
        "--header", "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PAT_TOKEN"
      ]
    }
  }
}

For general MCP setup, refer to Claude Code MCP documentation.

Option A: OAuth (recommended)

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user Thrivestack "https://api.app.thrivestack.ai/mcp"

Run this once, then start claude and type /mcp to sign in.

Option B: Personal Access Token

Replace YOUR_PAT_TOKEN with a token from Personal Access Tokens:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user Thrivestack "https://api.app.thrivestack.ai/mcp" --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PAT_TOKEN"

Then start Claude Code:

ThriveStack OAuth is currently available for Claude and Claude Code only — connect Cursor with a Personal Access Token. For general MCP setup, refer to Cursor's MCP documentation.

1. Open Cursor Settings, then go to Tools & Integrations > MCP.
2. Click Add Custom MCP and add the ThriveStack MCP configuration, replacing YOUR_PAT_TOKEN:
   Copy

   JSON

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "thrivestack": {
         "url": "https://api.app.thrivestack.ai/mcp",
         "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PAT_TOKEN" }
       }
     }
   }

3. Select Streamable HTTP as the transport type.

ThriveStack OAuth is currently available for Claude and Claude Code only — connect VS Code with a Personal Access Token.

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your project (or open the user-level config via the MCP: Open User Configuration command), replacing YOUR_PAT_TOKEN:

{
  "servers": {
    "thrivestack": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.app.thrivestack.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PAT_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

ThriveStack OAuth is currently available for Claude and Claude Code only — connect Windsurf with a Personal Access Token.

1. Open Windsurf Settings, then go to MCP.
2. Click Add Server and add the ThriveStack MCP configuration, using the same config as Cursor, replacing YOUR_PAT_TOKEN:
   Copy

   MCP config

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "thrivestack": {
         "url": "https://api.app.thrivestack.ai/mcp",
         "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PAT_TOKEN" }
       }
     }
   }

ThriveStack OAuth is currently available for Claude and Claude Code only — connect Gemini CLI with a Personal Access Token. For general MCP setup, refer to Gemini CLI MCP server documentation.

1. Add this to your ~/.gemini/settings.json, replacing YOUR_PAT_TOKEN:
   Copy

   ~/.gemini/settings.json

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "thrivestack": {
         "httpUrl": "https://api.app.thrivestack.ai/mcp",
         "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_PAT_TOKEN" }
       }
     }
   }

2. Restart Gemini CLI to load the MCP server.

The ThriveStack MCP server uses Streamable HTTP transport and works with any AI tool that supports the MCP standard. Configure the client to connect to https://api.app.thrivestack.ai/mcp. If the client doesn’t support OAuth (currently Claude and Claude Code only), attach a Personal Access Token as an Authorization: Bearer YOUR_PAT_TOKEN header.

1. Configure your client's MCP server URL to https://api.app.thrivestack.ai/mcp.
2. Ensure your client supports custom HTTP headers and set Authorization to Bearer YOUR_PAT_TOKEN.
3. Authenticate/connect when prompted (if your client asks for it).
4. Start using ThriveStack tools in MCP mode.
