# Connect a client

import SetupPrompt from '../../../components/setup-prompt.astro'

Typist MCP supports clients that can connect to a remote Streamable HTTP server and complete OAuth
in a browser.

You sign in and approve read-only access in your browser. No API key is required.

### Claude

1. Open [Customize → Connectors](https://claude.ai/customize/connectors).
2. Select **Add custom connector** and paste `https://mcp.iamtypist.dev/mcp`.
3. Connect Typist and approve access in the browser.

See [Claude's custom connector guide](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166).
### ChatGPT

1. Enable Developer mode in **Settings → Apps → Advanced settings**.
2. Select **Create**, paste `https://mcp.iamtypist.dev/mcp`, and scan the tools.
3. Approve access when ChatGPT connects to Typist.

ChatGPT Pro supports read-only MCP apps. Business, Enterprise, and Edu workspaces may require an
admin to enable Developer mode. See
[ChatGPT's MCP app guide](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/12584461).
### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http typist https://mcp.iamtypist.dev/mcp
```

Run `/mcp`, select `typist`, and approve access in the browser.
### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add typist --url https://mcp.iamtypist.dev/mcp
codex mcp login typist
```

Approve access in the browser.
### Cursor

Add this to `mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
"typist": {
  "url": "https://mcp.iamtypist.dev/mcp"
}
  }
}
```
### VS Code

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"typist","url":"https://mcp.iamtypist.dev/mcp"}'
```

Start Typist from the MCP view and approve access in the browser.
### Other clients

Use the server URL:

```text
https://mcp.iamtypist.dev/mcp
```

Choose Streamable HTTP when the client asks for a transport. The client must support OAuth for
remote MCP servers.

## Verify the connection

Ask the client:

```text
Search my recent Typist transcripts
```

A working connection calls `search_transcripts` and returns your completed transcripts.

:::note
The copied setup prompt is for coding agents that can configure MCP themselves. Claude and ChatGPT
use the manual browser steps above.
