Public MCP Setup

Connect Claude to Alt in one OAuth flow.

Paste the remote MCP URL into Claude. Claude redirects to Alt for login and consent, then returns with the connector already authorized for your workspace.

Remote MCP URL

This endpoint is public for discovery. Tool use still requires OAuth authorization or the API-key fallback.

After you paste it

Claude reads Alt's protected resource metadata, learns the authorization server, and starts OAuth automatically.

Why Alt redirects you

Alt has to identify the workspace, confirm the user, and get consent before Claude receives an access token.

1. Add Alt in Claude

Use the remote MCP URL. No manual bearer header is required on the default path.

2. Log in to Alt

If you are not authenticated, Alt shows a dedicated connector login page.

3. Approve scopes

Alt shows exactly what Claude can read or trigger before you approve access.

4. Start using tools

Claude completes OAuth, discovers tools, and only gets the scopes you granted.

What You Approve

Claude only gets the scopes you authorize.
