Claude Code connects to the Equibles MCP server with one command — no config file to edit.
1. Install Claude Code
Install the CLI from claude.com/claude-code, then run claude in any terminal.
2. Add the Equibles server
One command adds the server; you sign in over OAuth on first use — no key to manage:
claude mcp add --transport http equibles https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp
Run /mcp inside Claude Code and choose Authenticate to sign in, then confirm it registered with claude mcp list.
Prefer an API key? Create one at /dashboard/apikeys (it starts with eq_ and is shown once), then run:
claude mcp add-json equibles '{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.equibles.com/mcp","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer eq_your_api_key"}}' --scope user
--scope usermakes Equibles available in every project. Drop it to add the server to the current project only.
3. Test it
Start claude and ask any of these — the assistant should call an Equibles tool:
Troubleshooting
Server not appearing?
Run claude mcp list to confirm it registered, then start a fresh claude session — a running session won't pick up a newly added server.
Model answers without Equibles data?
Tell it explicitly to "use the Equibles MCP server" in your prompt.
401 / access denied?
Your key is missing or wrong. Re-copy it from /dashboard/apikeys and re-run the add-json command. If you're over your daily limit, see Rate limits.
